Abstract：
The study explores how different dimensions of perfectionism influence psychological well-being (PWB) in emerging adults. Literature has deepened the relationships between maladaptive perfectionism (e.g., excessive self-criticism, perceived discrepancy from the standards) and low PWB. Less is known about whether and how adaptive perfectionism (e.g., pursuing personal standards) relates to PWB. Secondly, the study has investigated whether self-compassion (i.e., self-benevolence, seeing personal imperfections as a common condition) may mediate the relationships between adaptive/maladaptive perfectionism and PWB. Participants (N = 217, 18-35 y. o.) completed self-report questionnaires measuring: adaptive/maladaptive perfectionism (Almost Perfect Scale-Revised, APS-R: high standards and order/discrepancy, respectively), PWB, and self-compassion (SCS). Adaptive perfectionism was associated with PWB, particularly a higher presence of purpose in life, environmental mastery, self-acceptance, and personal growth. Conversely, discrepancy resulted in the most robust predictor of low PWB (β = -0.68), followed by high standards with a positive direction (β = 0.23; Rc2 = 0.514, p < 0.001). A strong negative association emerged between discrepancy and SCS (r = -0.67, p < 0.001). A mediation analysis shows that self-compassion has an indirect effect, reducing the strength of the relationship between discrepancy and low PWB. Results suggest focusing on self-compassion as a buffer factor that reduces the negative impact of maladaptive perfectionism on psychological well-being. Implications for education and health psychology are discussed.
摘要：
该研究探讨了完美主义的不同维度如何影响新兴成年人的心理健康（PWB）。文学加深了适应不良完美主义之间的关系(例如，过度的自我批评,与标准的感知差异)和低PWB。关于适应性完美主义是否以及如何(例如，追求个人标准)与PWB有关。其次,这项研究调查了自我同情(即，自我仁慈,将个人缺陷视为常见条件）可能会调解适应性/适应性不良完美主义与PWB之间的关系。参与者(N=217，18-35y.o.)完成了自我报告问卷，测量：适应性/适应性不良完美主义(几乎完美量表修订，APS-R：高标准和订单/差异，分别)，PWB,自我同情（SCS）适应性完美主义与PWB相关，特别是生活中更高的目标，掌握环境，自我接受,和个人成长。相反，差异导致了最稳健的低PWB预测因子(β=-0.68)，其次是正向的高标准（β=0.23；Rc2=0.514，p<0.001）。差异与SCS之间出现强烈的负相关（r=-0.67，p<0.001）。中介分析表明，自我同情有间接影响，降低了差异与低PWB之间关系的强度。结果表明，关注自我同情作为缓冲因素，可以减少适应不良完美主义对心理健康的负面影响。讨论了对教育和健康心理学的影响。
