In this study, a total of 158 college students (<em>M</em> = 21.47) responded to measures of perceived maternal and paternal authoritarian parenting, sibling order, and individualistic and collectivistic values related to Hewitt and Flett's (1991) three types of perfectionism: self-oriented perfectionism (SOP), socially prescribed perfectionism (SPP), and other-oriented perfectionism (OOP), and whether the psychological distress moderated the relationship between them. Linear regressions revealed that collectivism, individualism, and being the oldest sibling was related to SOP, whereas maternal authoritarianism was related to SPP. Collectivism was negatively related to SPP and individualism negatively related to OOP. Psychological distress moderated the relationship between maternal authoritarian parenting and SPP. Finally, SPP and paternal authoritarian were related to psychological distress.

This study provides new insight into our understanding of the daily relationship between NLEs and PMPU at the within-person level.
