Özet: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between adaptive-maladaptive perfectionism and life satisfaction among secondary school students. The participants of the study consists of 334 secondary school students (160 girls and 174 boys). A correlational research model was used in this study. In the study, some scales are used as data collection tools as follows: Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale developed by Kırdök (2002) and Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale developed by Huebner (1994) and adapted to Turkish by Çivitçi (2007). Data analysis were conducted with SPSS 23.0 statistical package program in .01and .05 significance levels. All data were analyzed by correlation and regression. The findings of the study showed that adaptive perfectionism was positively associated with friend, school, living environment, family, self and total life satisfaction; maladaptive perfectionism was negatively associated with living environment and total life satisfaction. Also, there is no relationship between maladaptive perfectionism and friend, school, family, and self satisfactions. Implications of these findings are discussed and suggestions are presented within the context of literature.
