„Pandemia perfecționismului” lovește tinerii! Frica de eșec crește mai repede decât dorința de succes

A recent study highlights a significant rise in perfectionism among students, particularly concerning fear of failure and judgment from others. This trend, described as a "pandemic of perfectionism," correlates with economic and social changes over the past decades. Researchers found that while aspirations for high standards have increased, anxieties related to perfectionism have surged even more. The study suggests that economic inequality and slow growth contribute to heightened perfectionist concerns, impacting mental health. The findings indicate a troubling link between perfectionism and increased rates of anxiety and depression among youth, emphasizing the need to address cultural and economic factors to improve mental health outcomes.
