Abstract

Intrapersonal perfectionism is the dispositional tendency to impose perfectionistic expectations on oneself and is considered a bidimensional construct that consists of standards perfectionism and discrepancy perfectionism. Although scholars established the links between standards perfectionism and psychological adjustment and between discrepancy perfectionism and psychopathology, the mechanisms that explain these associations remain relatively unknown. Thus, a better understanding of these mechanisms, especially in children, is warranted given their high prevalence in this developmental population and potential destructiveness on psychological well-being. The present study examined whether social skills with peers mediated the link between the dimensions of interpersonal perfectionism and psychological outcomes due to the salience of social skills acquisition in middle childhood. The study included 225 students (nfemale = 114; nmale = 111) with ages ranging from 7 to 10 years at Time 1 (T1; Mage = 8.55, SD = 1.15) and from 8 to 11 years at Time 2 (T2; Mage = 9.52, SD = 1.10). Participants provided responses on measures concerning standards perfectionism, discrepancy perfectionism, social skills, and psychological well-being at both time points. Longitudinal structural equation modeling indicated that standards perfectionism was positively associated with increases in social skills over time and psychological well-being, whereas discrepancy perfectionism was linked with decreases in social skills over time followed by psychological maladjustment. The study discusses implications for interventions and treatments.

社会技能在青春期前人格完美主义与心理健康的纵向关系中的中介作用
自我完美主义是一种倾向于对自己施加完美主义期望的性格倾向,被认为是一种由标准完美主义和差异完美主义组成的二维结构。虽然学者们建立了标准完美主义和心理适应之间的联系,以及差异完美主义和精神病理之间的联系,但解释这些联系的机制仍然相对未知。因此,有必要更好地了解这些机制,特别是在儿童中,因为它们在这一发育人群中非常普遍,对心理健康具有潜在的破坏性。本研究考察了同伴社交技能是否在人际完美主义维度与心理结果之间起中介作用,因为社交技能习得在儿童中期尤为突出。研究纳入225名学生(男114名;nmale = 111),时间1时年龄为7 ~ 10岁(T1;图像= 8.55,SD = 1.15),时间2为8 - 11年(T2;法师= 9.52,SD = 1.10)。参与者在两个时间点都提供了关于标准完美主义、差异完美主义、社交技能和心理健康的测量结果。纵向结构方程模型表明,标准完美主义与社交技能随时间的增长和心理健康呈正相关,而差异完美主义与社交技能随时间的下降和心理适应不良相关。该研究讨论了干预和治疗的意义。
