The adverse consequences of perfectionism in the lives of youth (children and adolescents) are now widely recognised, including impact on mental health and general well-being. In order to develop interventions to prevent and treat perfectionism and promote resilience for children, rigorous testing and examination of theoretical models is needed as well as having access to valid and reliable assessment tools. The aim of the current literature review was to examine the validity and reliability of the measures currently being used to measure perfectionism in children under the age of 15. A systematic review of the literature identified six instruments that had been utilised in children. Preliminary support with respect to reliability and validity was established for each of these measures, and there was evidence supporting the existence of both perfectionistic striving and perfectionistic concerns in this population. However, many of the measures lacked evaluation of key psychometric properties by independent authors. Further work distinguishing adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism will be necessary to promote future interventions and treatment in this area.
完美主义对青少年（儿童和青少年）生活的不良后果现在已被广泛认识，包括对心理健康和整体幸福感的影响。为了制定预防和治疗完美主义和促进儿童适应力的干预措施，需要对理论模型进行严格的测试和检验，同时还需要使用有效和可靠的评估工具。目前文献综述的目的是检查目前用于测量 15 岁以下儿童完美主义的测量方法的有效性和可靠性。对文献的系统回顾确定了在儿童中使用的六种工具。这些措施中的每一种都初步确立了可靠性和有效性的支持，并且有证据表明，在这一人群中存在完美主义的努力和完美主义的担忧。然而，许多措施缺乏独立作者对关键心理计量特性的评估。为了促进这一领域的未来干预和治疗，有必要进一步区分适应性和不良适应性的完美主义。
