Personal and family perfectionism among Asian and Latinx youth.

Conclusions: Our study revealed the importance of taking into account both the roles of personal and family perfectionism when working with youth of Asian and Latinx descent. In particular, perceived high expectations from families may exacerbate the detrimental effects associated with youth setting high standards for themselves. In contrast, family’s healthy expectations and responses toward failure can buffer against the negative effects of youth’s own maladaptive perfectionistic tendencies.
