Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between perfectionism and creativity among high school student in Shiraz.
Participants consisted of 354 high school students (boys 168 and girls 186). Those are selected by multistage cluster sampling in Shiraz city. Two scales were used: Try-short perfectionism scale that has two subscales included positive perfectionism and negative perfectionism. In addition, students completed Abedi Creativity questionnaire. The reliability of the measures verified by Chronbach alpha method and validity of those were confirmed through internal consistency. Data were analyzed via Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple regressions and analysis of variance.
The results of multiple regressions showed that negative perfectionism negatively and positive perfectionism positively related to creativity among all students and girls group. while for boys students only negative perfectionism can predict creativity negatively.
The findings of the study on the one hand provide good evidence on the effect perfectionism on creativity and other hand revealed that negative perfectionism related to creativity negatively while positive perfectionism related to creativity positively. so we should discourage negative competitive among students.
