Abstract
People who have a propensity to set high expectations of what should be done,excessivecriticalevaluation and concern about making mistakes, is what is determined as perfectionism. If to is added the obligation of mastery in digital skills during the period of higher education, university students may show greater concerns, demands, efforts and automatic perfectionist thoughts depending on the daily or sporadic use of the internet, because the desire to want to do everything well can generate personal frustration and inactivity. This research was designed to identify statistically significant differences and the likelihood of presenting high scores in automatic thoughts based on Internet use. The sample recruited consisted of 3.060 university participants aged between 19 and 24 years. Digital competences were analysed through the Ikanos Test and perfectionist automatic thoughts through the Perfectionistic Cognitions Inventory (PCI). The statistical analysis used was the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the logistic regression by steps forward through the Wald statistic, revealing values of the Odd Ratio (OR) of .96. In conclusion, the findings showed statistically significant differences in the variables Perfectionist Demands, Perfectionist Efforts and the total score in Perfectionist Automatic Thoughts according to the frequency of internet use.
