a specific network of cognitions including expectations, interpretation of events, and evaluation of oneself and others. In modern psychology, perfectionism is considered as a multidimensional phenomenon not reducible solely to exhausting high standards of activity and aspirations. In perfectionism as a personality construct, the following parameters are distinguished: standards of activity and aspirations that are inflated compared to individual capabilities; dichotomous evaluation of activity results and planning according to the principle of “all or nothing”; negative selection; constant comparison of oneself with others with orientation toward the most successful individuals; excessive demands toward others and inflated expectations of them; perception of others as delegating excessively high expectations.
