ENVY AND PERFECTIONISM: THE INTERRELATIONSHIP OF THE CONCEPTS

Journal Title: Наука і освіта - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

The article deals with the results of theoretical and empirical research of the features of perfectionism manifested by individuals prone to envy in different degrees. Envy is considered to be stable individual property caused by frequent comparing oneself with others not in personal favor, characterized by subjective feelings of decreasing self-worth and displayed in passionate desire to get what the object of comparison has. Perfectionism as a desire to be perfect and impeccable is analyzed as well. The special complex of methods to define the ratio between proneness to envy and per- fectionism included the technique “Differential diagnosis of personality tendency to envy” by O. Sannikova, A. Lisovenko and P. Hewitt and R. Flett’s “Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale”. The significant positive correla- tions between the indicators of envy and perfectionism have been detected. It has been theoretically substantiated and empirically confirmed that envious personalities are prone to socially oriented and prescribed perfectionism.
