Аннотация:The paper is devoted to the link between motivational and cognitive components of the perfectionist personality style, which affect adequacy/inadequacy of understanding metaphoric meaning of proverbs. The authors also discuss structural and functional peculiarities of the cognitive style characteristic of people with high perfectionism levels who have committed a suicide attempt. Findings of an experimental study confirm influence of the perfectionist motivation on structure and functions of certain types of cognitive controls (cognitive style). It brings about lowering of effectiveness of cognitive processes, actualization of dysfunctional types of cognitive control in situations of semantic vagueness and/or high personal value. In suicidal patients this complex of cognitive malfunctions combined with a perfectionist motivation takes on an acute generalized and dysfunctional character.
