Using two independent samples and two different measures of perfectionism, this study investigated the hypothesized relation between retrospective accounts of perceived peer-inflicted emotional abuse during childhood and perfectionism in adulthood. Emotional victimization ('indirect' aggression) is characterized by behavior in which mental harm is inflicted on victims through exclusionary acts, gossiping, and rumor spreading. Study one: Self-reported questionnaires of indirect victimization [DIAS; Bjorkqvist, Lagerspetz, and Osterman, 1992] and perfectionism [multidimensional perfectionism scale; Hewitt and Flett, 1991] were administered to 162 (mean age=20.14 years) female undergraduate psychology students. Results support the predicted positive relationship between recalled indirect peer victimization and current socially prescribed/self-oriented perfectionism. Study two: self-reports of indirect peer victimization and perfectionism (eating disorder inventory-perfectionism) were collected from 196 (mean age=19.5 years) female undergraduate students. Again, recalled indirect peer victimization was a statistically significant predictor of current socially prescribed/self-oriented perfectionism whereas recalled direct (physical, verbal) peer victimization held no relation. Discussion addresses the implications of these results, which hold importance for both the bullying and perfectionism literatures.
本研究采用两个独立样本和两种不同的完美主义测量方法,调查了童年时期同伴造成的情感虐待的回顾性描述与成年期完美主义之间的假设关系。情感受害(“间接”攻击)的特征是通过排斥行为、流言蜚语和谣言传播对受害者造成心理伤害的行为。研究一:对162名(平均年龄=20.14岁)女性本科心理学学生进行了间接受害情况[DIAS;比约克维斯特、拉格斯佩茨和奥斯特曼,1992]和完美主义[多维完美主义量表;休伊特和弗利特,1991]的自我报告问卷调查。结果支持了回忆的间接同伴受害与当前社会规定的/自我导向的完美主义之间预测的正相关关系。研究二:从196名(平均年龄=19.5岁)女性本科学生中收集了间接同伴受害和完美主义(饮食失调量表-完美主义)的自我报告。同样,回忆的间接同伴受害是当前社会规定的/自我导向的完美主义的统计学显著预测因素,而回忆的直接(身体、言语)同伴受害则没有关系。讨论阐述了这些结果的意义,这些结果对欺凌和完美主义文献都很重要。
