Abstract

The aim of this paper was to examine whether there is a connection between assertiveness and perfectionism and whether there are gender differences in expressing assertiveness and perfectionism. The study was conducted on 201 respondents aged 20 to 50. The Assertiveness Assessment Scale (Tovilović, Okanović, and Krstić, 2009) consists of 27 items, which measure the degrees of assertiveness, ranging from Extremely low assertiveness, Low assertiveness, Average assertiveness, High assertiveness, to Extremely high assertiveness. The Perfectionism Inventory (PI, Hill, Huelsman, Furr, Kibler, Vicente & Kennedy, 2004) consists of 59 items divided into eight dimensions for measuring perfectionism: Concern over Mistakes, High Standards for Others, Need for Approval, Organization, Perceived Parental Pressure, Planfulness, Rumination, Striving for excellence. The research results have shown that there is a significant negative correlation between assertiveness and the overall score on the perfectionism scale (r=-.28, p<.01). Furthermore, there is a significant negative correlation between assertiveness with the following dimensions of perfectionism: concern over mistakes (r=-.49, p<.01), need for approval (r=-.53, p<.01), negative attitude and thinking (r=-.42, p<.01), On the other hand, assertiveness positively correlates with the organization dimension (r=.29, p< .01). When it comes to gender differences, making mistakes present the greatest concern for men (t=2.47, p<.05), while organization presents the greatest concern for women (t=3.44, p<.01).

自信和完美主义之间的关系

本文的目的是研究自信和完美主义之间是否存在联系，以及在表达自信和完美主义方面是否存在性别差异。这项研究对201名年龄在20岁至50岁之间的受访者进行了调查。自信评估量表(toviloviki, okanoviki, and krstiki, 2009)由27个项目组成，衡量自信的程度，从极低自信、低自信、平均自信、高自信到极高自信。完美主义量表(PI, Hill, Huelsman, Furr, Kibler, Vicente & Kennedy, 2004)由59个项目组成，分为8个维度来衡量完美主义:对错误的关注，对他人的高标准，对认可的需求，组织，感知父母压力，计划性，反思性，追求卓越。研究结果表明，自信与完美主义量表总分呈显著负相关(r=-)。28日,p < . 01)。此外，自信与完美主义的以下维度之间存在显著的负相关:对错误的关注(r=-)。49, p< 0.01)，需要批准(r=-。53, p< 0.01)，消极态度和思维(r=-。42, p< 0.01)，另一方面，自信与组织维度正相关(r=。29, p< 0.01)。在性别差异方面，男性最关心的是犯错(t=2.47, p< 0.05)，女性最关心的是组织(t=3.44, p< 0.01)。
