This study comb from the aspects of concept, measurement, antecedent variables, consequence variables and so on. In terms of concept, the commonly used perfectionism scale today is either a two-dimensional scale or a multi-dimensional scale. In terms of antecedent variables, this study found that personal factors (personality, goal orientation, achievement motivation) and family factors (parental education style, parental perfectionism, parent-child attachment) will have an important impact on adolescents' perfectionism. In terms of outcome variables, this study found that academic procrastination, depression and self impairment were common consequences.
