“…In a study comparing women diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, other women in psychiatric treatment (excluding eating disorders), and healthy controls, perfectionistic selfpresentation was higher in the anorexia nervosa group than in the two control groups who did not differ in terms of perfectionistic self-presentation [16]. The same result was found in a study comparing female adolescents diagnosed with anorexia nervosa and a control group [17].…”

symptoms, but so far no study has examined whether perfectionistic self-presentation can explain these relations or whether the relations are the same for different eating disorder symptom groups. MethodsA sample of 393 female university students completed self-report measures of perfectionism (selforiented perfectionism, socially prescribed perfectionism), perfectionistic self-presentation (perfectionistic self-promotion, nondisplay of imperfection, nondisclosure of imperfection), and three eating disorder symptom groups (dieting, bulimia, oral control). In addition, students reported their weight and height so their body mass index (BMI) could be computed. ResultsResults of multiple regression analyses controlling for BMI indicated that socially prescribed perfectionism positively predicted all three symptom groups, whereas self-oriented perfectionism positively predicted dieting only. Moreover, perfectionistic self-presentation explained the positive relations that perfectionism showed with dieting and oral control, but not with bulimia.Further analyses indicated that all three aspects of perfectionistic self-presentation positively predicted dieting, whereas only nondisclosure of imperfection positively predicted bulimia and oral control. Overall, perfectionistic self-presentation explained 10.4-23.5% of variance in eating disorder symptoms, whereas perfectionism explained 7.9-12.1%. ConclusionsThe findings suggest that perfectionistic self-presentation explains why perfectionistic women show higher levels of eating disorder symptoms, particularly dieting. Thus perfectionistic selfpresentation appears to play a central role in the relations of perfectionism and disordered eating and may warrant closer attention in theory, research, and treatment of eating and weight disorders.

“…Its subscales had good internal consistency in our sample with an alpha of .84 in Grade 7 and .89 in Grade 8 for SOP and .88 in Grade 7 and .90 in Grade 8 for SPP. As well, adequate evidence of concurrent validity with other measures of perfectionism has also been established (r = .76 for the SOP factor and r = .39 for the SPP factor with the Perfectionistic Self Presentation Scale; Castro et al, 2004;Flett et al, 1997).…”

“…The CAPS is a reliable measure used extensively in perfectionism research in nonclinical populations of children and adolescents ages 8 to 18 years (e.g., Castro et al, 2004;Flett et al, 1997). Its subscales had good internal consistency in our sample with an alpha of .84 in Grade 7 and .89 in Grade 8 for SOP and .88 in Grade 7 and .90 in Grade 8 for SPP.…”

“…Researchers studying perfectionism and depression cross-sectionally have reported that SPP and SOP are positively associated with depression in populations of nonclinical and clinical children (e.g., Castro et al, 2004;Huggins et al, 2008). Hewitt and colleagues (2002) demonstrated a link between perfectionism and depression in Canadian school-aged students.…”

RESUMENEl objetivo de este trabajo consistió en conocer si existen diferencias en los cinco grandes rasgos de la personalidad (Extraversión, Cordialidad, Neuroticismo, Apertura a la experiencia y Conciencia) entre los participantes con altos y bajos niveles de Perfeccionismo Auto-Orientado (PAO) en población infantil española. Se empleó una muestra compuesta por 483 alumnos entre 8 y 11 años, así como la subescala PAO de la Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS) y el Cuestionario Big Five de personalidad para niños (BFQ-N) que evalúa los cinco grandes rasgos de la personalidad. Los resultados de la prueba t de Student mostraron que los participantes con altos niveles de PAO obtuvieron medias significativamente más altas en Extraversión, Apertura a la experiencia y Cordialidad que sus iguales con bajos niveles de PAO. Contrariamente, no se observaron diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos en lo que respecta a las puntuaciones medias en Neuroticismo y Conciencia. Los resultados no coinciden con las evidencias empíricas previas, sugiriendo que la relación que se establece entre el PAO y la personalidad puede variar en función de la edad o la cultura.Palabras clave: perfeccionismo auto-orientado, personalidad, Big Five, infancia, Educación Primaria.
