Perfectionism can be defined as unrealistic standards combined with self-criticism. Honors students may be more likely to be maladaptively perfectionistic than their non-honors peers. Session topics will include self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism, factors that influence the development of perfectionism, and developing elements in honors that foster academic excellence and self-care.
