【文章內容簡介】 just a need to be perfect, said Malmon, and a need to present oneself as perfect. And a new study in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of today39。s society. In the study, two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US, Canada, and the UK. They found that what they called socially prescribed(社會定向型的) perfectionism increased by a third between 1989 and 2016. Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of today39。s young people try to present a perfect appearance online, social media isn39。t the only reason behind this trend. Instead, he said, it may be driven by petition in modern society, meaning young people can39。t avoid being sorted and ranked in both education and employment. That es from new norms(準則) like greater numbers of college students, standardized testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education. For example, in 1976, half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2008, more than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children, they in turn pass their achievement anxieties onto their kids through excessive(過多的) involvement in their child39。s routines, activities or emotions Those in the mental health munity like Malmon say they39。re concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses.
