Abstract

Background:

Perfectionism dimensions, including perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns, have a significant positive association with psychopathology. Clinical perfectionism is defined as when an individual’s self-esteem is excessively reliant on meeting high standards despite negative consequences. Numerous studies have found that higher perfectionistic concerns correlate with lower self-esteem; however, evidence for the association with perfectionistic strivings has been mixed.

Aims:

The focus of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to inform theoretical understanding of the relationships between perfectionism dimensions and self-esteem in adults.

Method:

A systematic literature search was conducted in Medline, PsycINFO, PsychARTICLES, ProQuest Central, and Scopus on 31 May 2023.

Results:

There were 83 articles included, with 32,304 participants (Mage=∼24.66 years). There was a significant negative moderate pooled association between self-esteem and perfectionistic concerns, r=–.42, 95% CI [–0.47 to –0.38]. A significant negligible positive pooled association was found between self-esteem and perfectionistic strivings, r=.06, 95% CI [0.01 to 0.11]. Results indicate higher perfectionistic concerns is associated with lower self-esteem, providing indirect support for the cognitive-behavioural model of clinical perfectionism.

Conclusions:

Future research should compare cognitive behaviour therapy for perfectionism to treatments for low self-esteem on outcomes of perfectionistic concerns and psychopathology.

成人完美主义与自尊之间的关系：系统回顾与荟萃分析

背景：完美主义维度（包括完美主义追求和完美主义担忧）与精神病理学有显著的正相关性。临床完美主义的定义是，一个人的自尊过分依赖于达到高标准，尽管这会带来负面影响。大量研究发现，较高的完美主义关切与较低的自尊相关；然而，与完美主义追求相关的证据却不尽相同。目的：本系统性综述和荟萃分析的重点在于为理论界理解完美主义维度与成人自尊之间的关系提供信息。方法：于2023年5月31日在Medline、PsycINFO、PsychARTICLES、ProQuest Central和Scopus上进行了系统性文献检索。结果：共收录83篇文章，32304名参与者（年龄=∼24.66岁）。自尊与完美主义之间存在明显的中度负相关，r=-.42，95% CI [-0.47 to -0.38]。自尊与完美主义追求之间存在可忽略不计的显着正相关，r=.06，95% CI [0.01-0.11]。结果表明，较高的完美主义追求与较低的自尊相关，为临床完美主义的认知行为模型提供了间接支持。结论：未来的研究应比较完美主义认知行为疗法与低自尊疗法对完美主义追求和精神病理学结果的影响。

期刊介绍： An international multidisciplinary journal aimed primarily at members of the helping and teaching professions. Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy features original research papers, covering both experimental and clinical work, that contribute to the theory, practice and evolution of cognitive and behaviour therapy. The journal aims to reflect and influence the continuing changes in the concepts, methodology, and techniques of behavioural and cognitive psychotherapy. A particular feature of the journal is its broad ranging scope - both in terms of topics and types of study covered. Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy encompasses most areas of human behaviour and experience, and represents many different research methods, from randomized controlled trials to detailed case studies.
