AbstractThis study examined the relationship between perfectionism and anger in a sample of students. 242 students (142 girls, 100 boys) completed the Tehran Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (TMPS) and the Tehran Multidimensional Anger Scale (TMAS). The results revealed that self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism were positively associated with anger dimensions, and negatively associated with anger control dimensions. No significant correlation was found between other-oriented perfectionism and dimensions of anger and anger control. Self-oriented perfectionism is related to anger through perceived and experienced frustration, while socially prescribed perfectionism is related to anger through perceived and experienced mistreatment by others.
