“…Another group of “unhealthy” or “maladaptive” perfectionists tends to have elevated levels of both perfectionistic strivings and concerns (Rice & Ashby, 2007; Richardson et al, 2014). A third group of nonperfectionists has relatively lower levels of strivings, with levels of concerns typically between those of adaptive and maladaptive perfectionists (Rice & Taber, 2018; Richardson et al, 2014). Consistent with findings using dimensional approaches, LPA studies have linked membership in the maladaptive class with higher levels of depression, lower self-esteem, higher anxiety, elevated risk of chronic stress, and maladaptive coping when compared with members of the adaptive group (Rice, Ray, Davis, DeBlaere, & Ashby, 2015; Richardson et al, 2014; Wang, Puri, Slaney, Methikalam, & Chadha, 2012), who tend to score higher on measures of well-being such as happiness, life satisfaction, and meaning in life (Suh et al, 2017).…”
