Abstract

AbstractAcademic performance tends to deteriorate during the transition from high school to post-secondary education. In this study, our goal was to investigate whether the degree of this performance deterioration differs across the four subtypes of perfectionism from the 2 × 2 model of perfectionism. Samples of 392 university students and 946 college students completed a perfectionism questionnaire. Their high school and first semester grades were obtained through the office of the registrar. Results of latent change analyses revealed that the grades of students decreased during the transition to university (–12%) and college (–4%). The four subtypes of perfectionism were associated with a different degree of performance deterioration and supported the four hypotheses of the 2 × 2 model of perfectionism. Both university and college students with pure socially prescribed perfectionism experienced the strongest decrease in academic performance and should be closely monitored during their transition into post-secondary education.Keywords: Perfectionismperformanceachievementtransitiontertiary education Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingPatrick Gaudreau was supported by research grant 435-2015-0649 from Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and a teaching release awarded by the Faculty of Social Sciences from the University of Ottawa.

大学与大学生在高中升学过程中成绩下降:完美主义2 × 2模型的潜在变化分析

摘要在高中阶段向高等教育过渡的过程中，学生的学习成绩有下降的趋势。在这项研究中，我们的目标是调查在完美主义的2 × 2模型中，这种表现恶化的程度在四种完美主义亚型中是否有所不同。392名大学生和946名大学生分别完成了一份完美主义问卷。他们的高中和第一学期成绩是通过注册办公室获得的。潜在性变化分析的结果显示，学生的成绩在过渡到大学(-12%)和学院(-4%)期间下降。四种完美主义亚型与不同程度的绩效下降相关，支持了完美主义2 × 2模型的四个假设。纯社会规定型完美主义的大学生和大学生在学业成绩上的下降都是最严重的，在他们过渡到高等教育期间应该密切监测。关键词:完美主义绩效成就过渡高等教育披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。patrick Gaudreau得到了加拿大社会科学与人文研究理事会435-2015-0649研究基金和渥太华大学社会科学学院颁发的教学报告的支持。Patrick Gaudreau, Megan Waltenbury和Tim Fricker得到了安大略省高等教育质量委员会的研究合同的支持。
