The article presents the results of an empirical study on the existence of a relationship between self-esteem and the degree of perfectionism in adolescents. The author substantiates the relevance of the analysis of this problem in adolescence. A correlation analysis of the results revealed the presence of an inverse significant relationship between the level of self-esteem, in particular, on the scales of "self-confidence", "character" and "peer authority", and the degree of severity of socially prescribed perfectionism. The findings will be of interest to educational psychologists and educators in organizing developmental work on the formation of self-esteem and reducing perfectionism in adolescence.
