Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 行為醫學研究所 === 102 === The present study aimed to examine the interactive effect of the two-dimensional perfectionism –personal standards perfectionism (PSP) and evaluative concerns perfectionism (ECP) – and attempted to distinguish the four sub-types of perfectionism. Frost’s Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS) was utilized to categorize participants into four groups by using mid-score of PSP (mid-score was 41) and ECP (mid-score was 60): pure evaluative concerns perfectionism (pure ECP, N=88), pure personal standards perfectionism (pure PSP, N=142), mixed Perfectionism (MP, N=223), and non-perfectionism (NP, N=201). The participants (total number = 654, mean age = 12.57, SD = 2.21) were from a junior high school in southern Taiwan. Assessment questionnaires included the FMPS in Chinese, Ko’s depression inventory, and Chinese Happiness Inventory. Data analyses did not show evidence of an interactive effect of PSP and ECP on depressive symptoms and on well-being. However, results indicated differences in depression: MP and pure ECP scored higher than the other two groups, and NP was higher than pure PSP; in well-being, pure PSP was the highest, and pure ECP was the lowest, but NP and MP did not differ in well-being. The present study revealed that ECP positively predicted on depression, but negatively predicted on well-being; on the other hand, PSP positively predicted on depression, but negatively predicted on well-being. Pure PSP was the most adaptive perfectionism; pure ECP was the most maladaptive perfectionism.
