ABSTRACT
Objective: To revise Frost's Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS) within a sample of Chinese college students based on clinical knowledge and Hewitt & Flett's perfectionism questionnaire.Methods:Three hundred and fifty college students responded to the inventory with additional 15 items to the FMPS. Exploratory factor analysis was applied to the data. Results: The revised Perfectionism Scale consisted of 50 items, four subscales (Concerns with Mistakes and Doubts, Personal Standards, Organization, Parents' Expectation and Control). Factor analysis indicated that, the four factors explain 42.31% of the variance with loading between 0.37~0.79. The five subscales had internal consistencies with split-half reliabilities 0.73~0.88, Cronbach's alphas 0.80~ 0.91, and test-retest reliabilities of 0.68~0.80 (P
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the relationship between college students' perfectionism and their mental health,and parental rearing styles.Methods:The present study was a cross-sectional design.Three hundred and thirty seven Chinese college students(152 males and 185 females;aged 16～24) were recruited through cluster sampling.Participants were from three major universities,and responded to the revised Perfectionism Scale for Chinese College Students,Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran(EMBU),and SCL-90.Results:The group with high score in perfectionism also got higher scores in their perception of fathers' over-protection,over-intervention,and refusal/denial than the low score group [(2.4?0.5) vs.(2.0?0.4),(2.2?0.4) vs.(2.0?0.3),(1.5?0.5) vs.(1.4?0.5);P
