Hewitt and Flett's 45-item Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale is a widely used instrument to assess self-oriented, other-oriented, and socially prescribed perfectionism. With 45 items, it is not overly lengthy, but there are situations where a short form is useful. Analyzing data from four samples, this article compares two frequently used 15-item short forms of the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale-Cox et al.'s and Hewitt et al.'s-by examining to what degree their scores replicate the original version's correlations with various personality characteristics (e.g., traits, social goals, personal/interpersonal orientations). Regarding self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism, both short forms performed well. Regarding other-oriented perfectionism, however, Cox et al.'s short form (exclusively composed of negatively worded items) performed less well than Hewitt et al.'s (which contains no negatively worded items). It is recommended that researchers use Hewitt et al.'s short form to assess other-oriented perfectionism rather than Cox et al.'s.
休伊特和弗莱特的 45 项多维完美主义量表是一种广泛用于评估自我导向、他人导向和社会规定完美主义的工具。该量表共有 45 个项目，虽然不算过长，但在某些情况下，短版本可能更有用。本文通过分析来自四个样本的数据，比较了两种常用的 15 项多维完美主义量表短版本——考克斯等人的和休伊特等人的，考察了它们的分数在多大程度上复制了原始版本与各种人格特征（如特质、社会目标、个人/人际关系取向）的相关性。关于自我导向和社会规定完美主义，这两个短版本都表现良好。然而，关于他人导向完美主义，考克斯等人的短版本（仅由负面措辞的项目组成）表现不如休伊特等人的版本（不包含负面措辞的项目）。建议研究人员使用休伊特等人的短版本来评估他人导向的完美主义，而不是考克斯等人的版本。
