This study aims to identify classes of adolescents depending on their levels of Perfectionistic Strivings (PS) and Perfectionistic Concerns (PC) as well as to examine whether there are significant differences in the manifestations of the four components of aggression behavior (i.e., anger, hostility, physical aggression, and verbal aggression) between them. A total of 1,074 high school students from various educational centers participated in this study (\n                    <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 14.78,\n                    <jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 1.84). The Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale and the Aggression Questionnaire short form were used. The Latent Class Analysis identified three classes of adolescent perfectionism: (a) Non-Perfectionists (low PS and PC), (b) Maladaptive Perfectionists (high PS and PC), and (c) Adaptive Perfectionists (moderate PS and PC). Results revealed significant differences between classes regarding the different manifestations of aggression. Maladaptive Perfectionists and Adaptive Perfectionists reported, respectively, the highest and lowest levels of aggression behavior. This study assists in educational programs to prevent conflicts related to school violence through emotional adjustment.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2021.686380","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,1]],"date-time":"2021-06-01T14:30:33Z","timestamp":1622557833000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Perfectionism Classes and Aggression in Adolescents"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Cecilia","family":"Ruiz-Esteban","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Inmaculada","family":"M\u00e9ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aitana","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Sogorb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Daniel","family":"\u00c1lvarez Teruel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"384","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cpr.2006.12.005","article-title":"Perfectionism and eating disorders: current status and future directions","volume":"27","author":"Bardone-Cone","year":"2007","journal-title":"Clin.
