Abstract
This research intended to explore the relationship of sociallyprescribed perfectionism, self-oriented perfectionism and
loneliness with students’ life satisfaction. The sample comprised of
143 male students (M age= 21.43, SD= 1.03) from the top five
departments of University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore
which were selected owing to their ranking based on merit.
Assessment measures included the Frost Multidimensional
Perfectionism Scale Life (Frost, Marten, Lahart, & Rosenblate,
1990), the UCLA Loneliness Scale-Version 3 (Russel, 1996), the
Brief Multidimensional Student Life Satisfaction Scale (Huebner,
1997) and a demographic questionnaire. Results of the hierarchical
regression analysis showed that the more the students were selforiented perfectionists the more they were satisfied with their life.
However socially-prescribed perfectionism was not related to life
satisfaction of the students. The results were same for both groups
of students who felt more and less lonely.
