To assess whether maladaptive perfectionism (parental and intrapersonal), mediated by self-esteem and internalized shame, lead to depressive symptoms, and to identify whether this model was invariant (i.e., structurally unchanged) across groups of Australian domestic and Asian international students.
A total of 624 (308 Australian domestic and 316 Asian international undergraduate university students) completed a questionnaire on the variables of interest.
Australian domestic and Asian international students did not significantly differ in reported levels of study variables apart from parental maladaptive perfectionism, on which Australian domestic students scored significantly higher. The proposed path-model differed across student groups, with findings indicating that intrapersonal maladaptive perfectionism impacted indirectly on depressive symptoms through internalized shame in both groups, however, indirectly through self-esteem in only the Asian international student group.
Intrapersonal maladaptive perfectionism may be a culturally independent process, capable of predisposing all university students to develop depressive symptoms, but that self-esteem may be a particularly relevant mediator of this relationship among Asian international students.
评估由自尊和内化羞耻介导的适应不良完美主义（父母及个人层面）是否会导致抑郁症状，并确定该模型在澳大利亚本土学生和亚洲国际学生群体中是否具有不变性（即结构不变）。
共有624名学生（308名澳大利亚本土本科生和316名亚洲国际本科生）完成了一份关于相关变量的问卷。
除了父母适应不良完美主义外，澳大利亚本土学生和亚洲国际学生在学习变量报告水平上没有显著差异，澳大利亚本土学生在这方面得分显著更高。所提出的路径模型在不同学生群体中存在差异，结果表明个人层面的适应不良完美主义在两组中均通过内化羞耻对抑郁症状产生间接影响，然而，仅在亚洲国际学生群体中通过自尊产生间接影响。
个人层面的适应不良完美主义可能是一个与文化无关的过程，会使所有大学生都有出现抑郁症状的倾向，但自尊可能是亚洲国际学生中这种关系的一个特别相关的中介因素。
