The current work provides a multi-methods exploration of how within-person subtypes of self-oriented perfectionism (SOP) and socially prescribed perfectionism (SPP) were related to shifts in health-promoting behaviors among adolescents following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Study One tested the 2 × 2 and tripartite models of perfectionism through a quantitative test of how such subtypes predicted changes in health behaviors pre-pandemic to intra-pandemic among 202 adolescents ( = 17.86, = 1.421). Results indicated that the combination of high SOP/high SPP was linked to the most maladaptive changes to health-promoting behaviors, supporting the tripartite model. Study Two aimed to contextualize these findings by analyzing semi-structured interviews with 31 adolescent self-identified perfectionists ( = 15.97, = 1.991) during the initial lockdown mandate. Results indicated that participants experienced a welcome break and found more time to engage in health-promoting behaviors. However, those high in SOP - regardless of their level of SPP - had more difficulty relaxing due to a resistance to relenting their perfectionistic standards. Altogether, these findings support the exacerbating role of SOP when combined with SPP posited by the tripartite model of perfectionism with respect to adolescents' health-promoting behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
当前的研究工作采用多种方法,探讨了自我导向型完美主义(SOP)和社会规定型完美主义(SPP)的个体内部亚型如何与新冠疫情爆发后青少年健康促进行为的变化相关。研究一通过对202名青少年(平均年龄=17.86岁,标准差=1.421)疫情前到疫情期间健康行为变化的预测进行定量测试,检验了完美主义的2×2模型和三方模型。结果表明,高SOP/高SPP的组合与健康促进行为最适应不良的变化相关,支持了三方模型。研究二旨在通过分析在首次封锁令期间对31名自我认定为完美主义者的青少年(平均年龄=15.97岁,标准差=1.991)进行的半结构化访谈,将这些发现置于具体情境中。结果表明,参与者经历了一段受欢迎的休息时间,并找到了更多时间参与健康促进行为。然而,那些SOP水平高的人——无论其SPP水平如何——由于难以放弃完美主义标准,在放松方面存在更多困难。总之,这些发现支持了完美主义三方模型所提出的SOP与SPP相结合时对青少年在新冠疫情期间健康促进行为的加剧作用。
