The purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure of the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS-F; Frost, Marten, Laharte, & Rosenblate, 1990). Although perfectionism is thought to contribute to the development of psychopathology and the MPS-F is gaining popularity for use in assessing perfectionism in clinical samples, to date the factor structure has not been examined in a clinical sample. Three hundred and twenty-two individuals diagnosed with an anxiety disorder using the SCID for DSM-IV and 49 nonclinical controls completed the MPS-F as well as a measure of perfectionism (MPS-H) developed by Hewitt and Flett ( 1991 ). Analyses suggested that the MPS-F has similar psychometric properties in clinical samples to those in nonclinical samples, and factors very similar to those observed by Frost et al. (1990) could be extracted. A 3-factor solution appeared more appropriate for statistical reasons, and the 3 scales based on these factors distinguished among diagnostic groups in a manner similar to scales based on the 6-factor solution in past research. Results were discussed in terms of the potential utility of a 3-factor solution and in terms of the general construct of perfectionism and the distinction between nonpathological high performance standards and neurotic perfectionism.
本研究的目的是检验弗罗斯特多维完美主义量表（MPS-F；弗罗斯特、马滕、拉哈特和罗森布拉特，1990）的因素结构。尽管完美主义被认为会导致精神病理学的发展，且MPS-F在评估临床样本中的完美主义方面越来越受欢迎，但迄今为止，尚未在临床样本中对其因素结构进行检验。322名使用《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版的结构化临床访谈（SCID）被诊断患有焦虑症的个体和49名非临床对照者完成了MPS-F以及休伊特和弗利特（1991）编制的一份完美主义量表（MPS-H）。分析表明，MPS-F在临床样本中的心理测量特性与在非临床样本中的相似，并且可以提取出与弗罗斯特等人（1990）所观察到的非常相似的因素。出于统计原因，三因素解决方案似乎更为合适，基于这些因素的三个量表在区分诊断组方面的方式与过去研究中基于六因素解决方案的量表相似。从三因素解决方案的潜在效用、完美主义的总体结构以及非病理性高标准与神经质完美主义之间的区别等方面对结果进行了讨论。
