Orientation towards adaptive perfection among university students

Abstract

The human soul is in constant pursuit of perfection, and therefore it is not satisfied with anything but that it
searches for it and searches for it materially and morally. Humans are still in constant development, and if
humans had not had this advantage, we would not have witnessed this enormous scientific and technological
progress, the urban leap, and the continuous search for the fastest, easiest and most complete. The current
research is limited to Wasit University students of both sexes (males, females) and two majors (scientific,
human) in the academic year (2020-2021), and the current research sample consists of (400) students selected
by a stratified random method. With a proportional distribution. To achieve the objectives of the current
research, the researcher prepared a scale to measure the tendency towards adaptive perfection in this research
based on the theory (Hewitt &Flett, 2002) and presented it to a group of specialized experts for judgment. The
validity of its varieties where the number of its varieties in its initial form is (38) types. . However, the
psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the scale have been confirmed. Reliability is by using Alf
Cronbach's equation (0.87) and using retest (0.90), and the scale in its final form consists of (26) items. The
researcher used the appropriate statistical means to analyze the data using the Statistical Package for Human
Sciences (SPSS), and the research results showed the following:College students have a high degree of
adaptive perfection.
