“…Recent studies have demonstrated the CPQ to comprise of two factors; personal standards and emotional concerns and consequences (e.g., Dickie et al, 2012;Stoeber & Damian, 2014). The current study also tested the reliability of the two dimensional CPQ, however, both subscales recorded below the recommended level, achieving .53 for personal standards and .55 for emotional concerns and consequences.…”

“…Derived from this definition, a number of psychometric measures have been developed and utilized in research such as Frost et al's (1990) Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS) and Hewitt and Flett's (1991) Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (HFMPS). Accordingly, perfectionism is frequently depicted as a multi-faceted personality disposition, delineated by the two higher order dimensions of personal standards perfectionism and evaluative concerns/self-critical perfectionism (e.g., Dickie, Surgenor, Wilson, & McDowall, 2012;Stoeber & Damian, 2014). Research examining the link between these two higher order dimensions and eating psychopathology is plentiful within clinical and community settings (e.g., Bento et al, 2010;Shafran, Lee, Payne, & Fairburn, 2006), with a growing http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2014.09.047 0191-8869/Ó 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

“…However, Shafran and colleagues have since developed a 12 item measure of clinical perfectionism; Clinical Perfectionism Questionnaire (CPQ) which taps into the core manifestations of clinical perfectionism as derived from Shafran et al's cognitive behavioral model (see Riley, Lee, Cooper, Fairburn, & Shafran, 2007). While the CPQ has been readily employed in clinical studies since its development, it is only recently that studies have assessed its validity and reliability, producing equivocal findings (Dickie et al, 2012;Stoeber & Damian, 2014). For example, using male and female undergraduate students, a number of studies have highlighted the CPQ to demonstrate good reliability and convergent validity (e.g., Chang & Sanna, 2012;Stoeber & Damian, 2014), while studies employing female clinical samples have noted it to be only satisfactory in terms of its reliability, meeting the minimum threshold (e.g., Steele, Waite, Egan, Finnigan & Handley et al, 2013).…”

“…In response to such associations, Shafran and colleagues (2002) proposed a cognitive-behavioural theory of ''clinical perfectionism,'' which they defined as overvaluing the importance of striving to meet standards and reacting to perceived failure to meet standards with self-criticism. Although these two aspects of clinical perfectionism conceptually correspond to the two higher order perfectionism constructs of personal standards and evaluative concerns, respectively (e.g., Dunkley et al, 2006;Stoeber & Damian, 2014), Shafran and colleagues (2002) conceptualized clinical perfectionism as a unidimensional construct. We contend that, akin to the notion that perfectionism is a single general factor (e.g., Egan et al, 2016;Smith & Saklofske, 2017), clinical perfectionism is best understood as a single factor that reflects an overreaching desire to meet high standards and self-criticism in response to failing to meet those standards.…”

Perfectionism has been implicated in several psychiatric disorders, including eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and depression. In the current research, we extended the analysis of perfectionism to understand disordered gambling. Unlike other life domains in which people with perfectionistic tendencies can objectively control outcomes (e.g., dieting to control one's body shape or weight in eating disorders), perfectionism in the gambling context is unique because there is little to no objective control over gambling outcomes (i.e., winning money). We hypothesized that gamblers with perfectionistic tendencies may set themselves a high standard within the financial success domain, which would manifest in more severe disordered gambling symptoms. We also hypothesized that having a self-concept that is focused on financial success would mediate the relation between perfectionistic tendencies and disordered gambling severity. To test this mediation model, we asked a community sample of gamblers (n = 258) to complete measures that assessed perfectionistic tendencies, financially focused self-concept, and disordered gambling severity. In line with expectations, there was a moderate positive relation between perfectionistic tendencies and disordered gambling severity, which was further mediated by financially focused self-concept. These findings suggest that perfectionistic tendencies among gamblers are associated with disordered gambling because such tendencies result in a self-concept that is focused on financial success. The findings also suggest that targeting gamblers' perfectionistic tendencies in prevention and treatment interventions may be instrumental in alleviating their financial focus, which would help curtail the development and maintenance of disordered gambling.Keywords: perfectionism, self-concept, disordered gambling, money RésuméOn a établi que le perfectionnisme entrait en ligne de compte dans plusieurs troubles psychiatriques, entre autres les troubles de l'alimentation, les troubles anxieux et la

“…Factor analyses of measures based on unidimensional conceptualizations (e.g., Clinical Perfectionism Questionnaire; Fairburn, Cooper, & Shafran, 2003) reveal two correlated, but empirically distinct perfectionism factors of personal standards and self-evaluation. Multiple studies have found support for the correlation between these two factors ( r = .39 & r = .37; Dickie, Surgenor, Wilson, & McDowall, 2012;Stoeber & Damian, 2014). Labels vary, but two dimensions (strivings or standards and maladaptive evaluation or perfectionistic concerns) also often emerge in factor analyses based on multidimensional measures of perfectionism and appear to be differentially related to a variety of outcomes (e.g., Dunkley, Blankstein, Halsall, Williams, & Winkworth, 2000;Stoeber & Otto, 2006).…”

Once Upon a Time…I was Perfect. Some people can't wait for high school to end. The constant comparison between students, the need to be the best, the idea that average is not even good enough to make it on a scale of excellence. It's no secret that [School Name] High School is one of the most challenging and rewarding educational facilities in [the state]. Students file out of a classroom after a test and complain of how bad they did, when really they might have gotten a B-. Outside in the real world, adults wish that trivial events like these were the least of their worries, but to a high schooler, what goes on between these brick walls [is] everything. When trying to get into college, students try to rack up the number of clubs and hours of community service to place on their college admissions applications. But the perfection doesn't lie in numbers, it is reflected in the effort put forth by every student in the school.These comments in a high school yearbook capture in a succinct and personal way the central elements of perfectionism as they have been described for decades by clinicians, researchers, and journalists. The student points to the relevance of striving to be "the best" and the downstream implications of effort and credentials established during high school. She alludes to the distortions that might befall perfectionists, the pernicious ways in which they might interpret their performance and how the intensity and distress engendered by those interpretations may notThe authors are grateful to Jana Mohammad Al-Nahhas, Angela Montfort, and Marieke van Nuenen for their assistance with this chapter.
