The main purpose of the present research was to explore gender-related associations between sleep disturbance and perfectionism dimensions in a large sample of undergraduate students. Perfectionism dimensions have been assessed using the Portuguese version of the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (Hewitt and Flett, 1991 , J Pers Soc Psychol 60:456; Soares et al., 2003 , Rev Port Psicossom 5:46) and sleep disturbance with two items concerning difficulties initiating sleep and difficulties maintaining sleep. A total of 1163 undergraduate students of both genders between 17 and 25 years of age completed the scale. Results from correlational and categorial analyses indicated that socially prescribed perfectionism was the only dimension associated with sleep disturbance in undergraduate students of both genders. Males with the highest levels of socially prescribed perfectionism were approximately twice more likely to report sleep disturbances than those with less socially prescribed perfectionism. Similar results were found within the female sample. Implications for future research and clinical practice are discussed.
本研究的主要目的是在一个大型本科生样本中探索睡眠障碍与完美主义维度之间与性别相关的关联。使用多维完美主义量表的葡萄牙版本（Hewitt 和 Flett，1991 年，J Pers Soc Psychol 60：456；Soares 等人，2003 年，Rev Port Psicossom 5：46）评估了完美主义维度，并用两个关于入睡困难和维持睡眠困难的项目评估了睡眠障碍。共有 1163 名年龄在 17 至 25 岁之间的男女本科生完成了该量表。相关和分类分析的结果表明，社会规定的完美主义是与男女本科生睡眠障碍相关的唯一维度。具有最高水平的社会规定的完美主义的男性报告睡眠障碍的可能性大约是那些具有较少社会规定的完美主义的男性的两倍。在女性样本中也发现了类似的结果。讨论了对未来研究和临床实践的影响。
