Abstract
Perfectionistic familial pressures positively predicted psychological distress in the present study, such that Asian American college students who felt more pressure from their parents to be perfect tended to experience more depression, anxiety, and stress. Results provide insight for practitioners working with Asian American college students and inform clinical interventions.
