Snowball method of data collection was used and the collected data were analysed using descriptive and correlation method of data analysis. The result of present study is there is no significant relation between rigid and narcissistic perfectionism. This study also to examined that there is a significant difference between gender and narcissistic perfectionism on Gen z population. Narcissistic perfectionism concerns the propensity to have excessive expectations of others, cruel devaluation of others and their inadequacies, and the beliefs that some individuals deserve special treatment and consider themselves to be perfect or superior to others. Rigid perfectionism is a self-oriented rigid insistence that one’s own performance must be perfect and impeccable, feeling worthwhile only if and when perfect. Further implications can be to increase the sense of equality with emphasis on opportunities in education, employment, and political participation and these opportunity must be increased among gen z population our society. The scope for future research may be an attempt to explore other sub factors of perfectionism. This study may be an adaptive and transformative factor among gen z population.
