The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between parents' perfectionism and self-reported parenting behaviors. The study included 786 parents (417 mothers and 369 fathers) of high school students. Results showed that parents' positive and negative perfectionism were differently related to specific forms of child rearing practices. Namely, positive perfectionism was positively, while negative perfectionism was negatively related to parental acceptance for both mothers and fathers. Mothers' and fathers' negative perfectionism was positively related to parental criticism and permissiveness. In addition, fathers' positive perfectionism was negatively associated with permissive child rearing practices. After controlling for background variables, parents' positive and negative perfectionism explained significant amounts of variance in all self-reported parenting dimensions for fathers and significantly accounted for the variance of parental acceptance and criticism for mothers. According to our findings, parents' perfectionism might have an important role in shaping parenting behaviors.
该研究的目的是调查父母的完美主义与自我报告的养育行为之间的关系。该研究纳入了786名高中生的父母（417名母亲和369名父亲）。结果表明，父母的积极完美主义和消极完美主义与特定形式的育儿方式存在不同的关联。具体而言，积极完美主义呈正相关，而消极完美主义与父母对子女的接纳程度呈负相关，这在母亲和父亲中均如此。母亲和父亲的消极完美主义与父母的批评和放任呈正相关。此外，父亲的积极完美主义与放任型育儿方式呈负相关。在控制背景变量后，父母的积极完美主义和消极完美主义在父亲所有自我报告的养育维度中解释了大量方差，并且显著解释了母亲的父母接纳和批评的方差。根据我们的研究结果，父母的完美主义可能在塑造养育行为方面发挥重要作用。
