Over 50 years of theory and research implicates perfectionism in anxiety. However, it is unclear which (if any) perfectionism dimensions are risk factors for anxiety.
To address this, we conducted a meta-analysis testing whether socially prescribed perfectionism, concern over mistakes, doubts about actions, self-oriented perfectionism, and personal standards predict increases in anxiety.
Our literature search yielded 11 relevant studies for inclusion, composed of children, adolescents, undergraduates, community adults, and psychiatric patients.
Meta-analysis using random-effects models revealed concern over mistakes (r= .11), doubts about actions (r= .13), and personal standards (r= .08), but not socially prescribed perfectionism or self-oriented perfectionism, displayed significant small positive relationships with follow-up anxiety, after controlling for baseline anxiety.
Research is needed to understand the conditions under which the connection between perfectionism and anxiety becomes stronger (e.g., stress).
超过 50 年的理论和研究表明完美主义与焦虑有关。然而,目前尚不清楚哪些(如果有的话)完美主义维度是焦虑的风险因素。
为了解决这个问题,我们进行了一项荟萃分析,检验社会期望完美主义、对错误的关注、对行动的怀疑、自我导向完美主义和个人标准是否会预测焦虑的增加。
我们的文献检索产生了 11 项相关研究,包括儿童、青少年、本科生、社区成年人和精神病患者。
使用随机效应模型的荟萃分析显示,对错误的关注(r=0.11)、对行动的怀疑(r=0.13)和个人标准(r=0.08)与随访时的焦虑呈显著正相关,但社会期望完美主义或自我导向完美主义与焦虑无关,在控制基线焦虑后。
需要进一步研究,以了解完美主义与焦虑之间的联系在何种情况下会变得更强(例如,压力)。
