This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether two types of personalized feedback — one focused on understanding how perfectionism affects your daily stress and coping, and another focused on emotion regulation skills — can help university students who struggle with self-critical perfectionism feel better and manage stress more effectively. Researchers will track your daily experiences and mood over time to see how the feedback helps.
Young adults today are experiencing higher levels of depression, anxiety, and perfectionism than in the past. While researchers know that self-critical perfectionism is linked to lower well-being, they don't fully understand how and why this happens day-to-day — or whether helping people understand these patterns can actually improve their mental health.

You will first complete baseline questionnaires about your perfectionism, mood, and stress (this takes about an hour). Then you'll keep a brief daily diary for 7 days, recording your stress and feelings each day. Two weeks later, you'll receive personalized feedback (either about how perfectionism affects your daily stress and coping, or about emotion regulation skills, or both — depending on which group you're assigned to). You'll complete follow-up measures 2 weeks after that, and the whole study takes about 4 weeks from start to finish.
