q2 · i? · review · r3

Synthesis of seven group-based studies (n = 2088 gifted students) examining emotional intelligence, life satisfaction, self-esteem, and coping. Healthy groups "reported more positive outcomes (e.g., increased happiness, positive adjustment, and self-22 esteem)" than unhealthy groups; comparisons with non-perfectionists varied by outcome.

"the findings show that the healthy perfectionist groups 21 reported more positive outcomes (e.g., increased happiness, positive adjustment, and self-22 esteem) and less negative outcomes (e.g., maladaptive psychological symptoms and 23 dysfunctional coping strategies) than unhealthy perfectionist groups."
