Abstract: Anxiety has been a subject extensively reviewed in the literature, its co-existence with other disorders has been empirically tested. On the other hand, perfectionism has been described as a multidimensional structure characterized by a rigid structure of thinking, there is evidence for transdiagnostic of perfectionism related to depression, anxiety and eating disorders. This investigation seeks to find a correlation between perfectionism and anxiety levels. In order to achieve this, The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Frost Multidimensional Scale (FMPS) were applied with the main objective of measuring anxiety and perfectionism in a college sample, conformed by Clinical Psychology students of the first and last years in San Francisco University. Both tests have excellent reliability and validity within its psychometric properties. Statistical analysis was done using Minitab14 and the results shown a statistical significance for the primary hypothesis, despite the negation of this one. It also suggests a lack of significance for the relationship between gender and anxiety and perfectionism. Finally it confirms a relationship between perfectionism and academic year.
