Abstract

The aim of current Research was to investigate the relationship between perfectionism with life satisfaction and aggression among high school students. Accordigly, 370 students (184girls and 186 boys) were selected through random multistage sampling method and then were assessed by Huebner life satisfaction questionnaire (Aslani etal perfect Scale-Revised (2001) and Buss& perry’ aggression scale. Results indicated that perfectionism with life satisfaction and aggression has a significant and positive correlation. Among dimensions of perfectionism, there was a significant positive relation between order and personal standards with life satisfaction and between discrepancy and order with aggression. Results of multiple regression analysis showed that dimensions of order and personal standards are the best predictor of life satisfaction. In addition, dimensions of discrepancy and order can predict aggression in a meaningful manner.
