“…In addition, authors contrasted the discriminant validity of SOP with respect to Consciousness, supporting the idea that they are distinct constructs. More recently, Walton, Hibbard, Coughlin and Coyl-Shepherd (2018), with a sample of 242 undergraduate college students in the US and the Middle East, found positive and significant correlations be-tween Openness, Consciousness and SOP, whereas these correlations were negative in the case of Neuroticism.…”

This study analyses the relationship between the perfectionism dimensions, i.e. Self-Oriented Perfectionism-Critical (SOP-C) and Self-Oriented Perfectionism-Striving (SOP-S), and affect and the Big Five traits of personality in a sample of 804 Spanish students aged 8 to 11 (M = 9.57; DE = 1.12). Student’s t test, Cohen’s d index and logistic regression analysis were used. The high SOP-C group scored significantly higher than their peers having low SOP-C on Negative Affect and Neuroticism, and lower on Positive Affect, Agreeableness, Consciousness and Openness to Experience. To the contrary, students with high SOP-S scored significantly higher on all adaptive dimensions (i.e. Positive Affect, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Consciousness and Openness to Experience), and lower on Negative Affect and Neuroticism. Effect sizes were small for most of statistically significant differences. These findings were also supported by regression analysis. Results are discussed in light of the debate on the adaptive or maladaptive nature of Self-Oriented Perfectionism.

“…As noted long ago, perfectionism is also an individual characteristic and not all perfectionists are the same, even though there is a drive to relentlessly pursue perfection (Hamachek 1978;Pacht 1984). Thus, perfectionism in adults developed probably by the influence of environment, culture and of their own personality traits from early life experiences (Walton et al 2018). Considering this, from the five-factor personality theory framework (McCrae and Sutin 2018), perfectionism is possibly a combination of individual tendencies and environmental influences (e.g.…”

“…Hamachek 1978). Although personality traits have been very effective in differentiating dimensions of perfectionism, parental influence is a well-established factor in theories regarding the development of perfectionism (Curran et al 2020;Walton et al 2018).…”

“…Recently, research has indicated that parenting can contribute to the development of personal adaptive characteristics and non-adaptive characteristics (Maloney et al 2014;Walton et al 2018). Both parenting styles and parental bonding can account for personality development.…”

“…Regarding perfectionism, parental variables are included in an etiological model of perfectionism indicating that parental bonding such as mother affectionless control and father affectionless control, which is characterized by high levels of control and low levels of affection/ care, have effects on perfectionism mediated by core schemas 1 of disconnection and rejection (Blasberg et al 2016;Maloney et al 2014). Recently, Walton et al (2018) examined the relationships between parenting styles, personality traits, culture and the dimensions of perfectionism in undergraduate students. Regarding parenting, they have found that harsh parenting with high demands and low warmth (authoritarian) and neglectful parenting (characterized by low demands and low warmth) are both associated with maladaptive dimensions of perfectionism.…”
Multidimensional perfectionism is characterized by striving for flawlessness, the setting of high-performance standards and self-criticism. Both individual and environmental factors contribute to the development of this characteristic. So far, there was no data on perfectionism in Brazilians. This study aimed to gather evidence about the relationships between the dimensions of perfectionism (through the Almost Perfect Scale-Revised), personality traits (NEO-FFI Inventory) and parental bonds (parental bonding). Brazilians (n = 516) aged approximately 25.3 years (SD = 7.82) participated in this study. As a result, the discrepancy was predicted by the level of neuroticism and maternal overprotection. Perfectionistic standards were predicted by the levels of conscientiousness and openness. The order was predicted only by the levels of conscientiousness. These results are evidence of the difference between the dimensions of perfectionism and their developmental correlation as well as their adaptive and maladaptive aspects. Longitudinal studies should complement and confirm these findings. Other limitations are discussed. Resumen El perfeccionismo multidimensional es expresado por esfuerzo de evitar fallas, establecimiento de niveles de desempeño elevados y auto-crítica. Factores individuales y ambientales contribuyen al desarrollo de esta característica. Hasta el momento no había datos sobre el perfeccionismo en muestras brasileñas. Así, el objetivo es presentar evidencias acerca de las relaciones entre dimensiones del perfeccionismo (por medio de Almost-Perfect Scale-Revised), rasgos de personalidad (Inventario NEO-FFI) y vínculos parentales (Parental Bonding). Se evaluaron 516 individuos brasileños con
