Abstract

Perfectionism has been proposed to be a coping strategy that results from experiencing indirect victimization. However, studies on this topic have predominately been cross-sectional, preventing the understanding of their development. In a sample of 616 youth (M_age = 13.03 at start of current study; SD = 0.38; 54.2 % girls, 76.1 % White) followed annually, we examined the joint trajectories of indirect peer victimization with socially prescribed perfectionism and self-oriented perfectionism from ages 13 to 18 using latent class growth analyses. As expected, we found two high-risk joint trajectory groups: moderate stable indirect peer victimization/high increasing socially prescribed perfectionism (5.5 %) and moderate stable indirect peer victimization/high increasing self-oriented perfectionism (2.3 %). Indirect peer victimization was a better indicator of perfectionism, particularly socially prescribed perfectionism, than the reverse. Group differences in gender and socioeconomic status were found. Findings suggest that appearing perfect may be one way that individuals attempt to prevent further peer abuse.

青春期同伴间接伤害与完美主义的共同轨迹

完美主义被认为是一种因遭受间接伤害而产生的应对策略。然而，关于这一主题的研究主要是横向的，阻碍了对其发展的理解。在616名年轻人的样本中(研究开始时，Mage = 13.03；sd = 0.38；（54.2%的女孩，76.1%的白人），我们使用潜在阶级增长分析来研究从13岁到18岁的间接同伴伤害与社会规定的完美主义和自我导向的完美主义的联合轨迹。正如预期的那样，我们发现了两个高风险的联合轨迹组：中度稳定的间接同伴伤害/高增长的社会规定完美主义（5.5%）和中度稳定的间接同伴伤害/高增长的自我导向完美主义（2.3%）。间接同伴受害是完美主义的一个更好的指标，尤其是社会规定的完美主义，而不是相反。发现了性别和社会经济地位的群体差异。研究结果表明，看起来完美可能是个体试图防止进一步同伴虐待的一种方式。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
