Introduction

There are different age periodizations of human psychological development, but most researchers believe that over time learning in high school matches during youth and early adulthood.

The aim of our research was to investigate the phenomenon of age-perfectionism of medical students.

Materials and methods. The study participated 275 students 1 and 5 courses of different faculties in medical university. The average age of students was expected 1st year lower than students of the 5th year: 18,00 ± 0,11 g. vs 21,41 ± 0,12 g., p <0.001. To analyze the phenomenon of perfectionism was used the questionnaire of Kholmogorova and Garanian (2001).

Results

Discussion. Age was significantly negatively correlated with the rate in the general makeovers cohort study (R = -0,28, p <0.001), lower rate of perfectionism of older students. Indeed, the average score of perfectionism in students age 22 and older was significantly lower compared with other age ranks (p <0.01) (see Fig. 2). In a separate analysis of possible relationships between age and index makeovers at 1 and 5 course reliable correlation was found (R = -0,12, p = 0,16, R = -0,02, p = 0.82).
