Perfectionism is a multidimensional construct composed of adaptive and maladaptive aspects. Perfectionism has been found to be at a higher level in the school setting where performance education and high academic expectations are at the forefront, and in the field of music where the evaluation made by other people is more because of the nature of the work. The study sought to identify whether the sub-dimensions of perfectionism of middle school and high school level conservatory students receiving professional music education differed in terms of various variables. The study group consists of middle and high school students between the ages of 10-18 in Turkey and entails the entire universe. Personal information form applied to 752 number of students along with The Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale developed by Flett, Hewitt, Boucher, Davidson and Munro (2001) were employed. The results yielded no difference in the self-oriented sub-dimension of perfectionism in terms of gender, having a musician in the family, daily working time and instrument type variables. However, significant differences were observed in the education level and perception of success variables. Referring to the socially prescribed sub-dimension of perfectionism, no significant difference was detected according to daily working time variable. Besides that, significant differences were observed in gender, having a musician in the family, education level, perception of success and instrument type.

Purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived stress and death anxiety in university students during the Corona virus pandemic process. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 649 university students, 331 of which were females and 318 of which were males, with an average age of 22. The study was assessed using the Perceived Stress and Death Anxiety Scales. The data were found to be in accordance with the normal distribution with the &quot;Kolmogorov Smirnov Test&quot;. Independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance and LSD tests were used for statistical analysis. The data were evaluated with the SPSS 25.0 package program. In the study, significant difference according to gender was found in perceived stress scores which were higher in women than in men (p&lt;0.05). On the other hand, no significant difference was found between death anxiety scores according to gender (p&gt;0.05). It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in perceived stress and death anxiety scores according to the sleep patterns stated by the students and their belief in their immunity (p&lt;0.001). The difference in perceived stress and death anxiety scores according to watching television and following the coronavirus news on the internet and exposure to virus news on social media was found to be statistically significant (p&gt;0.001). As a result of the data and analyzes acquired in the study, it was determined that while the perceived stress status of university students differed according to gender, their feeling of death anxiety was similar. It was considered that those who sleep regularly and rely on their immunity were less likely to feel the coronavirus epidemic in terms of perceived stress and death anxiety. It was determined that as students had a higher awareness of the Corona virus on the social media, they felt death anxiety less. It could be suggested that students sleep regularly, increase their immunity or believe that their immunity is strong, and increase their knowledge about the effect of the corona virus on social media.
