“…Furthermore, our findings suggest that anxiety symptoms do not predict longitudinal increases in perfectionism in adolescents over nine months, which stands in contrast to Gautreau et al's (2015) finding that social anxiety predicted longitudinal increases in perfectionistic concerns in college students over 12 months. Hence, it is possible that the relationship between perfectionism and anxiety symptoms is reciprocal, but the effects may unfold over different time spans or at different developmental periods.…”

“…In line with theory and research indicating that the perfectionism dimension driving anxiety is perfectionistic concerns, not perfectionistic strivings (Burgess & DiBartolo, 2016), we expected that perfectionistic concerns would predict longitudinal increases in anxiety, but also examined potential effects of perfectionistic strivings (O'Connor et al, 2010) as well as potential reciprocal effects (Gautreau et al, 2015).…”

“…Affrunti & Woodruff-Borden, in press). Furthermore, a recent longitudinal study with college students found that social anxiety predicted increases in perfectionistic concerns (Gautreau, Sherry, Mushquash, & Stewart, 2015). Consequently, it is possible that the relationships are bidirectional: Perfectionistic concerns may predict increases in anxiety, and anxiety may predict increases in perfectionistic concerns.…”

“…While our study differentiated evaluative concerns perfectionism from self-criticism, moderate to strong intercorrelations among these variables support other researchers' decisions to combine these variables into a superordinate factor labelled self-critical perfectionism (e.g., Gautreau et al, 2015).

(2016) Perfectionism explains variance in self-defeating behaviors beyond self-criticism: Evidence from a cross-national sample.Personality and Individual Differences, 295 British), this study examined whether evaluative concerns perfectionism (socially prescribed perfectionism, concern over mistakes, doubts about actions) explained variance in self-defeating behaviors (binge eating, procrastination, interpersonal conflict) after controlling for selfcriticism. Results showed that-after controlling for self-criticism-concern over mistakes predicted binge eating, doubts about actions predicted procrastination, and socially prescribed perfectionism and concern over mistakes predicted interpersonal conflict. Self-criticism also uniquely predicted self-defeating behaviors beyond evaluative concerns perfectionism. The relationships that evaluative concerns perfectionism shows with self-defeating behaviors appear neither redundant with nor fully captured by self-criticism. Results dovetail with theoretical accounts suggesting evaluative concerns perfectionism is a uniquely important part of the personality of people prone to self-defeating behaviors.

In this study, we examined what kind of perfectionistic profiles (i.e., different patterns of perfectionistic strivings and concerns) can be identified among general upper-secondary school students, how stable those profiles are over the school year, and how they are connected with students' motivation (i.e., achievement goal orientations). Four distinct profiles were identified. Students with high strivings and low concerns had their focus mainly on mastery, while students with an opposite profile emphasized performance-avoidance and work-avoidance orientations. Students with high strivings and concerns favored both performance-and mastery-related goals, whereas students characterized by low strivings and low concerns did not display a dominant tendency toward any orientation. Perfectionistic profiles were relatively stable over time, with the majority of students reporting similar tendencies across the measurements, and with no extreme changes observed. Some indications of more students displaying less adaptive perfectionistic tendencies by the end of the school year were nevertheless found. Our findings demonstrate not only stability in perfectionistic
