Resumen

Background: Currently, there is great interest in analyzing perfectionism as a trait especially characteristic of people with high abilities (H.A.A.). However, the findings obtained are heterogeneous and inconclusive, which could be due to the multidimensional nature of this construct, which includes both Negative Perfectionism (NP) and Positive Perfectionism (PP). State of the art: The present systematic review aims to investigate whether perfectionism is a defining and exclusive characteristic of gifted students. According to the criteria of the PRISMA statement, ten publications were included. Conclusions: The results obtained were inconclusive, since in some papers significant differences in perfectionism were found between the AA.CC vs. non-gifted group, while in others no differences were found.
