The Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20; R. M. Bagby, J. D. A. Parker, & G. J. Taylor, 1994) is a self-assessment instrument designed to measure deficits in meta-emotional functioning (e.g., difficulties in identifying and describing emotions). Four studies were carried out to examine the association between the TAS-20 and (a) performance measures of meta-emotional functioning (memory of emotion and emotional awareness; Studies 1-2) and (b) measures of perfectionistic standards that may possibly be involved in the self-assessment of abilities-difficulties (Studies 3-4). The TAS-20 failed to correlate in the predicted direction with the performance measures but showed sizable correlations with measures of perfectionism. Moreover, perfectionism was found to predict TAS-20 scores independent of depression, anxiety, and somatic complaints. The results are discussed in terms of the TAS-20 measuring primarily certain aspects of meta-emotional self-efficacy.
多伦多述情障碍量表（TAS - 20；R. M. 巴格比、J. D. A. 帕克和G. J. 泰勒，1994年）是一种自我评估工具，旨在测量元情绪功能方面的缺陷（例如，在识别和描述情绪方面的困难）。开展了四项研究，以检验TAS - 20与以下两方面的关联：（a）元情绪功能的表现指标（情绪记忆和情绪意识；研究1 - 2），以及（b）可能与能力 - 困难自我评估有关的完美主义标准指标（研究3 - 4）。TAS - 20未能与表现指标呈现出预期方向的相关性，但与完美主义指标显示出显著相关性。此外，研究发现完美主义能够独立于抑郁、焦虑和躯体不适来预测TAS - 20得分。研究结果将根据TAS - 20主要测量元情绪自我效能的某些方面来进行讨论。
