Exploring Youth Perceptions of Perfectionism and How it Affects Their Life Generally and During the COVID-19 Pandemic

We are currently recruiting participants to participate in our study examining young perfectionists’ perceptions of perfectionism and how it affects their lives both generally and during the COVID-19 pandemic!

Participation would include an interview conducted via video call (90-120 minutes) as well as a short survey (10-20 minutes). Participants will be compensated with a $40 CDN Amazon gift card.

Some topics participants will be asked about in the interview include:
