Hello! I’m Dr. Haleh Brotherton.
My research focuses on perfectionism in engineering and will soon extend to the broader STEM field.
AMPERE is a research-based measure designed to understand how adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism show up in engineering education.
I’d love to hear how you’ve seen it show up in your own experience.
