Identifier	Thesis 1999
Author	Berberena, Santia
Title	Investigating the Relation between Dimensions of Perfectionism and Social Problem-Solving
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2009
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The anxiety and poor self-efficacy associated with maladaptive perfectionism impedes the person's ability to effectively perform in multiple areas of his or her life. The current study suggests that problem-solving is one of the areas likely to be adversely affected by perfectionism. It was hypothesized that higher self-oriented perfectionism would predict lower impulsivity/carelessness style problem-solving and higher avoidance style problem-solving. It was also hypothesized that higher socially-prescribed perfectionism would predict higher avoidance style problem-solving and higher negative problem orientation. The hypotheses were examined in a sample of 105 undergraduate and graduate students using the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS) and the Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised (SPSI-R). Multiple regression analyses showed that participants with higher scores on self-oriented perfectionism also possessed higher scores on avoidance style problem-solving, while controlling for anxiety and depression. However, self-oriented perfectionism did not predict lower scores on impulsivity/carelessness style problem-solving. Furthermore, higher scores upon socially-prescribed problem-solving did not predict higher scores upon avoidance style problem-solving or negative problem orientation style problem-solving. Analyses also revealed that group differences were not found among participants of differing ethnicities, faiths, or between male or female participants on any of the three outcome variables assessed in the study.
