Abstract :
    The aim of this study was to predict the academic achievement of students with depressive disorder based on clinical perfectionism and learned helplessness. The method of the present study is descriptive correlation. The statistical population includes all female high school students in Namin in 1399. 150 people were selected from this population by multi-stage cluster sampling. Aaron Beck Depression Inventory, Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale, Academic Achievement and Learned Helplessness Questionnaire were used to collect data. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient showed that academic achievement has a significant positive relationship with self-centered perfectionism and a significant negative relationship with community-oriented perfectionism. Also, academic achievement has a significant negative relationship with learned helplessness (p <0.05). The results of regression analysis showed that clinical perfectionism and learned helplessness can significantly predict students academic achievement. Therefore, we can conclude that self-directed perfectionism has a positive role in increasing the academic achievement of students with depressive disorder and the learned helplessness reduces the academic achievement of these students.
