Gifted youth frequently experience perfectionism, which for some can affect their emotional well-being. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a 6-week mindfulness intervention for 42 middle school students who were identified as Gifted and Talented. Participants’ levels of self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism, as well as their use of mindfulness practices, were evaluated pre- and post- intervention, as well as at a 5-week follow-up to assess changes in perfectionism ratings and use of mindfulness. Three Bonferroni-adjusted, one-way, repeated measures analyses of variance were performed, and the results indicated a significant decrease in self-oriented perfectionism and an increase in mindfulness at both the end of the intervention and at follow-up. These findings support the use of mindfulness as an appropriate intervention to reduce self-imposed forms of perfectionism among gifted youth.

通过正念干预降低天才青少年的完美主义水平

天才青年经常体验完美主义，这对某些人来说会影响他们的情绪健康。本研究评估了 6 周正念干预对 42 名被认定为有天赋的中学生的有效性。参与者的自我导向和社会规定的完美主义水平，以及他们对正念练习的使用，在干预前后以及在为期 5 周的随访中进行评估，以评估完美主义评级的变化和使用正念。进行了三个经 Bonferroni 调整的、单向、重复测量的方差分析，结果表明，在干预结束和随访时，自我导向的完美主义显着减少，正念增加。
