the mediating role of metacognitive beliefs in the relationship between family communication patterns and perfectionism

Objective: the present study was conducted to investigate the mediating role of metacognitive beliefs in the relationship between family communication patterns and perfectionism. the current research was a correlational and structural equation type.methods: the statistical population of the research included all male and female undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students at the university of guilan who were studying in 2022-2023. 204 people were selected by random sampling method and answered the perfectionism, metacognitive beliefs and family communication patterns questionnaires. data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with spss-27 and smart-pls-3 statistical software.results:the results of structural equations showed that the fit of the structural model of the family communication pattern with the mediating role of metacognitive beliefs on perfectionism is optimal so that communication orientation and conformity through metacognitive beliefs have an indirect relationship with perfectionism.conclusion: according to the present study, the metacognitive beliefs of students are affected by the family communication pattern, which affects their perfectionism.
