Abstract
Family is the most enduring school of learning, because of implicit and observational learning has highest stability. On the other hand, gifted children were topic of many studies. This review summarizes research on the phenomenon of perfectionism in gifted children in the family. One of the personality traits of gifted students is to be perfect that may deviate into the perfectionism. Scientific evidence confirms that parents and teachers of children who are introduced as gifted by assessment specialists, expect excellent work in all fields. Such expectations of the gifted can vulnerable them to perfectionism, that this traits can cause irreparable psychological damages in them. Based on the researches findings, it seems that the high expectations of families of gifted children have led to the establishment of perfectionism and consequently the failure of gifted children. Tips for teaching families how to deal properly with gifted children have been proposed in the paper.

Abstract
The present study aimed to develop and examine psychometric properties of the Spiritual/Religious Perfectionism Scale (SRPS) including construct validity, convergent and discriminant validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. Four hundred and sixty nine Iranian men and women (226 men, 243 women) participated in this study as volunteers. All participants were asked to complete the SRPS, Ego Strength Scale (ESS), Mental Health Inventory (MHI-28), and Positive and Negative Affect (PANAS). The results of exploratory factor analysis supported a general factor structure for the SRPS. The convergent and discriminant validity of the SRPS were supported by an expected pattern of correlations between the scale and the measures of ego strength, psychological well-being, psychological distress, and positive and negative affects. All correlation coefficients between the mean scores on the SRPS and scores of the ego strength, psychological well-being, psychological distress, and positive and negative affects were statistically significant. Coefficient alpha estimates of internal reliability were between .79 and .91 for the SRPS. Test-retest reliability of the SRPS was also calculated at the range of statistically significant of .73. It was concluded that the SRPS can be considered as a reliable and valid scale to measure spiritual/religious perfectionism in Iranian samples.

To this purpose, of all the female students in the first round high schools of Tehran city and their parents in the academic year 2018-2019, 384 cases were selected as the statistical sample using multi-stage cluster sampling method. In order to collect data, Herman's Achievement Motivation Scale (1987), Frost's Perfectionism Scale (1990), and NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI, Costa & McCrae, 1997) were used. The collected data were analyzed using multiple stepwise regression analysis. The results of data analysis showed that maternal perfectionism dimensions predict 65.5 % of female students' achievement motivation. The greatest contribution is related to casting doubt over the action, individual standards, parent's criticism, concerns about mistakes, and order components, respectively. Meanwhile, casting doubt over the action, parent's criticism, and concerns about mistakes negatively, and individual standards and order positively contributed to the prediction of achievement motivation. Moreover, parental expectation component had no significant contribution to the model prediction. Additionally, mother's character components predict 46.6% of the female students' achievement motivation; and conscientiousness, flexibility, agreeableness, neuroticism, and extraversion made the greatest contribution, respectively.

Abstract
The present study aims to predict procrastination through cognitive errors and perfectionism. The present research method is a descriptive correlation. The statistical population included all high school students in the east of Tehran in the academic year 1393-94, among whom 280 were selected by Simple Random Sampling. To collect data, the negative cognitive errors questionnaire (Leitenberg et al., 1985), Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (Hewitt & Flett, 1991), and behavioral procrastination questionnaire (Lay, 1986) was used. The results were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis, multiple regression, and independent t-test. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between all cognitive errors and procrastination (p<0.01). Also, procrastination has a positive significant relationship with self-oriented perfectionism and a negative significant relationship with social-oriented perfectionism (p<0.01). The regression analysis results showed that cognitive errors and self-oriented perfectionism can predict 15.5% of procrastination variance. Independent T-test showed that there was no significant difference between girls' and boys' scores in any of the variables (p>0.05). These results clarify the importance of cognitive errors and perfectionism in procrastination, and therapists and designers of workshops and cognitive-based training programs can use these findings to enrich their interventions.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the moderating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on the relationship between perfectionism dimensions and mental health indices. A total of 510 individuals (381 men, 126 women) participated in the study. Participants were asked to complete the Mental Health Inventory-28 (Veit & Ware, 1983), Tehran Multiple Perfectionism Scale (Besharat, 2007), and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006). Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Hierarchical Linear Regression were used to analyze the data. The result showed that perfectionism in all dimensions (self-oriented, other-oriented, socially-prescribed) had a significant negative association with mental well-being and a significant positive association with mental distress (p<0.01). In addition to this, adaptive emotion regulation strategies had a significant positive association with mental well-being and a significant negative association with mental distress but for maladaptive emotion regulation strategies, this relation was reversed (p<0.01). Results also revealed that the relationship between dimensions of perfectionism with mental health indices was merely moderated by maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (p<0.05). According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the relationship between perfectionism dimensions and mental health indices is not a simple linear one, but this relationship can be moderated by other variables such as maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies.
