Abstract

A questionnaire based on the Chinese short version of the Negative Evaluation Terror Scale and Perfectionism Scale for College Students was used to study the psychological behavior of college students. The subjects of the study were 315 college students from different regions and grades in China. The questionnaire data based on the Negative Rating Terror Scale and Perfectionism Scale were counted and regression analysis was conducted using origin2021 to clarify the correlation between negative rating terror and perfectionism among college students. The study showed that the mean values of negative rating terror and perfectionism scores of college students gradually increased with increasing grades. The correlation between negative appraisal terror and perfectionism was positive, with a fit of 0.9959. The dimension of “fear of making mistakes” was the most critical factor affecting the mental health of college students. The influence of negative appraisal terror and perfectionism on college students’ mental health is synergistic.
