| description | Maladaptive perfectionism is the tendency to self-impose unrealistic goals and stringent performance standards, to worry excessively about making mistakes, and to engage in auto-critical self-evaluation. This attribute could negatively impact the psychological well-being of children. The objective of this work was to describe maladaptive perfectionism manifestations in children, and to assess its differences according to sex, school grade, kind of educational institution (public or private), and region of origin. An empiric, descriptive and cross-sectional investigation was made. Participants were 1067 children between 9 and 12 years old, students of public and private schools from two Argentinian provinces (Misiones and Entre Ríos). Results verified the presence of maladaptive perfectionism during early childhood. The most salient manifestation of perfectionism was self-oriented, especially related to school. Socially prescribed and finally other-oriented perfectionism were found next in order of importance. The most vulnerable population profile found was fourth grade children from Misiones’ public schools. These results could be very important to design strategies aimed to treat this mental health problem or to prevent its negative consequences during late childhood. |

Maladaptive perfectionism is the tendency to self-impose unrealistic goals and stringent performance standards, to worry excessively about making mistakes, and to engage in auto-critical self-evaluation.

El perfeccionismo disfuncional implica la tendencia a imponerse metas y estándares muy elevados, a preocuparse excesivamente por cometer errores y a evaluar el desempeño de manera muy crítica. Este atributo puede impactar negativamente en el bienestar infantil. El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir las manifestaciones del perfeccionismo infantil disfuncional, analizando diferencias en función del género, el grado académico, el tipo de gestión escolar (pública-privada), y el lugar de procedencia. Se realizó una investigación empírica, descriptiva, de corte transversal. Participaron 1067 niños de entre 9 y 12 años de edad, alumnos de escuelas primarias, públicas y privadas, de dos provincias argentinas (Misiones y Entre Ríos). Los resultados del estudio verificaron la presencia del perfeccionismo infantil en esta franja etaria. De las manifestaciones perfeccionistas evaluadas, la que más sobresale es la autorientada, particularmente referida al ámbito escolar. Le siguen en orden de importancia el perfeccionismo socialmente prescrito y el perfeccionismo orientado a otros. El perfil más vulnerable corresponde a varones de 4to año, de escuelas públicas de la provincia de Misiones. Estos resultados revisten importancia al momento de diseñar estrategias orientadas a abordar esta problemática y a prevenir sus consecuencias negativas durante la niñez tardía.
