High levels of perfectionism in college students can compromise their academic performance and psychological well-being. This study aims to analyze the implication of perfectionism in
psychological well-being and suicidal ideation in the last year. A total of 1.287 students from different
degrees reported their academic performance in the previous academic year and completed questionnaires on academic perfectionism, psychological well-being, and suicidal thoughts in the last year. In
both men and women, academic perfectionism correlates positively with academic performance and
negatively with the different dimensions of psychological well-being. Likewise, both the average
grade in the previous year (β = 0.364) and the level of demand of the degree (β = −0.461) are mediating variables between perfectionism and psychological well-being. Furthermore, the interaction
between perfectionism and academic performance is related positively to psychological well-being,
but not to with suicidal ideation. So, the relation between suicidal ideation and perfectionism is
positive (OR = 1.075), but this is negative with academic performance (OR = 0.900), although both
variables show a mild predictive capacity. These findings suggest that the levels of perfectionism
are associated differently with the mental health of students, since if perfectionism is effective (high
academic performance), psychological well-being is high, although in our results, this interaction is
not as important for suicidal thoughts. [-]
