Abstract :
    The aim of this study was to investigate the role of parents perfectionism in predicting the academic motivation of female high school students in Ardabil. The research method was descriptive-correlational and its statistical population included all female high school students who were studying in 2021 and the sample size of 60 female students were selected by convenience sampling. The Bamrind Thorpe, Clark, & Knicks 1939 Parental Perfectionism Questionnaire and the Solomon and Roth Bloom 1984 Academic Motivation Questionnaire were used to collect data. Pearson correlation analysis and multivariate regression were used to analyze the data. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between parental perfectionism (R = 0.445) and academic motivation (P <0.001). Also, the results of regression analysis showed that the predictor (independent) variable of parents perfectionism has the ability to predict (criterion variable) students academic motivation. In summary, the results of this study can be inferred that parental perfectionism has a significant relationship with academic motivation.
