Abstract

The aim of the current research is to identify the nature of the relationship between Neurotic perfectionism and the stresses of university life among academically gifted university students, and it also aimed to reveal the extent to which it is possible to predict the stresses of university life through the knowledge of their Neurotic perfectionism. The number of participants in the research was (354) male and female students, (200) males, (154) females. Their ages ranged between (19-22) years, with an average of (19.33) years, and the current research administered several measures, namely university life stress scale (developed by the researcher), the scale of neurotic perfectionism (developed by Mamdouh Mahmoud Mustafa, 2014). The results of the research revealed the existence of a positive relationship between neurotic perfectionism and the pressures of university life among the academically gifted university students, which means that the high degree on the neurotic perfectionism measurement indicates the high stresses of university life for them. The results concluded that the total degree of neurotic perfectionism contributed to predicting university life stresses and its sub-components among university students.
