Description
First generation professionals (FGPs)––individuals who are the first in their family to receive a college degree and obtain a higher-level professional position––face additional stressors throughout their professional career that may lead to more psychological distress. This study investigates the relationship between FGP status, maladaptive perfectionism, wellbeing, and mental health outcomes within an FGP and non-FGP population (n = 210). We found that maladaptive perfectionism was higher in the FGP population, however findings from our moderation analyses revealed that FGP status did not moderate the relationship between maladaptive perfectionism and mental health outcomes.
