We used a？random sample survey of 250 college students in Suzhou district in China？to explore the relationships among parenting behavior, perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive symptom, as well as to construct a？structural equation model.？The results showed that college students’ understanding of parenting behavior is above average, they have strong perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. College students’ obsessive-compulsive symptoms？were affected by demographic variables, with gender and grade having significant interaction; parenting behavior causes college students’ obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and？perfectionism played a mediating role. Understanding the？mechanism of parenting behavior and perfectionism on college students’ obsessive-compulsive symptoms can provide references to the mental health counseling for college students.
