Abstract

The present study aimed to examine the relationship between perfectionism, OCD symptom dimensions, harm avoidance, and incompleteness at varying levels (i.e., higher-order/subscale) in college students. College students (n = 548) completed measures of perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, harm avoidance and incompleteness. The results revealed that all five higher-order dimensions of perfectionism were related to incompleteness but only three were related to harm avoidance. Parallel mediation revealed an indirect relationship between concern for mistakes and doubts about actions and checking and cleaning behaviors, respectively, through incompleteness. An indirect relationship between concern for mistakes and doubts about actions with ordering, respectively, through both incompleteness and harm avoidance was found. However, incompleteness played a stronger role than harm avoidance in this relationship. These results suggest that incompleteness might be a stronger motivator than harm avoidance for perfectionistic individuals. Therefore, interventions targeting incompleteness should be implemented to potentially circumvent the development or worsening of obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

大学生完美主义、避免伤害和不完全性维度之间关系的研究。

本研究旨在考察大学生完美主义、强迫症症状维度、伤害回避和不同程度（即高阶/次阶）的不完整性之间的关系。大学生（n = 548）完成了对完美主义、强迫症状、伤害回避和不完整性的测量。结果显示，完美主义的五个高阶维度都与不完整性有关，但只有三个维度与伤害回避有关。平行中介显示，对错误的担忧和对行动的怀疑与检查和清理行为之间分别存在通过不完整性产生的间接关系。对错误的担忧和对行动的怀疑与排序之间的间接关系分别通过不完整性和危害规避来实现。然而，在这种关系中，不完全性比危害回避的作用更大。这些结果表明，对于完美主义的人来说，不完整性可能比危害规避具有更强的激励作用。因此，应采取针对不完整性的干预措施，以避免强迫症状的发展或恶化。
