Overview

This study explores how perfectionism and excellencism influence self-talk styles in students, impacting academic achievement.

Key Points

  • Higher excellencism leads to greater positive self-talk, promoting better goal progress in students.
  • Perfectionism is linked to negative self-talk, predicting lower academic goal progress.
  • Carleton students (N = 196) reported on their self-talk and academic goals, providing insight into these dynamics.
  • Findings will elucidate how self-talk mediates the relationship between excellencism, perfectionism, and academic success.
