The current research aimed to identify the level of digital culture among students at the University of Kirkuk and their tendency towards perfectionism, as well as the correlational relationship between these two variables. Additionally, it sought to determine the level of statistical significance of digital culture and the tendency towards perfectionism according to the variables of gender and specialization. The researcher selected a sample consisting of(500) male and female students from the University of Kirkuk, including from the faculties of Humanities and Sciences, specifically the College of Humanities, the College of Pure Sciences, the College of Law, and the College of Science. Two scales were developed to measure digital culture and the tendency towards perfectionism after reviewing relevant literature. The data were statistically analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), employing various statistical methods such as standard deviation, analysis of variance, t-tests, Pearson correlation coefficient, and Spearman correlation coefficient for data handling and analysis. The results showed that university students enjoy good levels of digital culture and a commendable tendency towards perfectionism. Moreover, significant statistical differences were found in the level of digital culture among students in favor of males, as well as significant statistical differences based on the variable of scientific specialization. Differences in the tendency towards perfectionism were recorded according to the variables of gender and specialization, favoring females and students in scientific disciplines. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between digital culture and the tendency towards perfectionism, indicating that digital culture positively influences the
