This study investigates the influence of perfectionism on psychological well-being and life satisfaction among 250 undergraduate students from Tiruchirappalli district, Tamil Nadu. Data collection employed the Burns Perfectionism Scale (1983), Psychological Well-Being Scale (Bhogale & Jai Prakash, 1995), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985). The research findings suggest that perfectionism significantly impacts adolescents' psychological well-being and life satisfaction. Demographic variables, such as birth order and year of study, were found to influence these constructs, while gender and locality showed no significant effect. These findings underscore the importance of balancing high standards with self-compassion to promote mental health. The study contributes to the understanding of perfectionism's role in adolescent well-being and offers insights for promoting healthier personal growth and achievement.
