Abstract

This study examined latent profiles of perfectionism in adolescence by integrating three perfectionism dimensions, trait anxiety, academic self-concept, and positive and negative affect. Participants were 365 first-year secondary education students (46% males, 54% females; M = 12.4 years, SD = 0.57) who completed validated self-report measures. Latent Profile Analysis identified four distinct perfectionism–adjustment profiles: Adaptive, Self-Critical, Socially Prescribed, and Non-Perfectionist. Profiles differed in socio-emotional adjustment and academic achievement, with Adaptive and Self-Critical students performing similarly and Socially Prescribed students achieving lower grades. Multigroup analyses confirmed that profile structures were equivalent across genders. The study advances theory by separating SOP-Striving and SOP-Critical in a person-centered framework and offers practical implications for interventions, highlighting the importance of emotional regulation, strengthening academic self-concept, and providing support tailored to each profile’s specific needs.

整合完美主义的情感和学术维度：来自以人为本方法的见解

本研究通过整合完美主义特质焦虑、学业自我概念、积极影响和消极影响三个维度，考察了青少年完美主义的潜在特征。参与者为365名完成有效自我报告测量的一年级中学学生（男性46%，女性54%；M = 12.4岁，SD = 0.57）。潜在特征分析确定了四种不同的完美主义调整特征：适应性、自我批评、社会规定和非完美主义。在社会情绪适应和学业成绩方面，不同的学生表现相似，而社会规定型学生的成绩较低。多组分析证实，男性和女性的面部轮廓结构是相同的。该研究通过在以人为中心的框架中分离sop -奋斗和sop -关键来推进理论，并为干预提供了实际意义，强调了情绪调节的重要性，加强了学术自我概念，并为每个档案的特定需求提供了量身定制的支持。最终模型公式
