ABSTRACT: The
present study investigated the relationship between parental conditional
regard, perfectionism, subjective well-being and self-esteem, and the role of
perfectionism as a mediator in the relationship between parental conditional
regard and both subjective well-being and self-esteem. Using a convenience
sampling, 500 Turkish university students (M age = 20.83 years old, SD age =
2.05) completed questionnaires. The results showed positive links between
parental conditional regard and perfectionism, negative links between parental
conditional regard and both subjective well-being and self-esteem and negative
links between perfectionism and both subjective well-being and self-esteem.
While perfectionism was a partial mediator between parental conditional regard
and self-esteem, perfectionism was not a mediator between parental conditional
regard and subjective well-being.
