The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between dimensions of perfectionism and suicide ideation in a tertiary student population in Australia.
The methodology involved 405 students completing the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) which includes a subset of questions which can be used to assess suicide ideation, and the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale.
The presence of suicide ideation was associated with higher scores on total perfectionism and two perfectionism dimensions, and total GHQ scores. There were significant differences between participants with high levels of perfectionism and participants with moderate to low levels of perfectionism on a measure of suicide ideation. Neither gender nor age were associated with differences in the scores, with results indicating high levels of perfectionism may indicate a vulnerability to suicide ideation.
Perfectionism is a valued attribute in high-achieving populations. The question needs to be asked, however, at what cost? The findings indicate that high levels of perfectionism may be associated with an increased vulnerability to suicide ideation. Future research is needed to gain a better understanding of the complex interrelationship between personality and temperament, environmental factors and self-destructive behaviour.
本研究旨在评估澳大利亚大学生群体中完美主义维度与自杀意念之间的关系。
该方法涉及405名学生完成一般健康问卷（GHQ - 28），其中包括一部分可用于评估自杀意念的问题，以及多维完美主义量表。
自杀意念的存在与总体完美主义、两个完美主义维度以及GHQ总分的较高得分相关。在自杀意念测量方面，高度完美主义参与者与中度至低度完美主义参与者之间存在显著差异。性别和年龄均与得分差异无关，结果表明高度完美主义可能表明存在自杀意念的易感性。
在高成就人群中，完美主义是一种受重视的特质。然而，需要追问的是，代价是什么？研究结果表明，高度完美主义可能与自杀意念易感性增加有关。需要进一步研究以更好地理解人格与气质、环境因素和自我毁灭行为之间的复杂相互关系。
