Judges may experience mental health problems, which reduces their performance in juridical cases, and constitutes a great threat to both the authority of law and social justice. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of psychological distress among judges and examine the effect of perfectionism on psychological distress with age and gender as the moderators.
This survey was carried out in person with 565 Chinese judges in 2016, using the Almost Perfect Scale-Revised and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale. The effects of perfectionism on psychological distress was explored by Structural Equation Model (SEM), and the moderating effects of age and gender were tested by Multi-group analysis.
Psychological distress was reported by 89.20% of the judges surveyed. Discrepancy had a significant positive effect on psychological distress, but order had a significant negative effect on psychological distress, with high standards exerting no significant effect. Age had a significant moderating effect, whereas the moderating effect of gender was not significant.
The three dimensions of perfectionism exerted different effects on psychological distress of Chinese judges, and the relationships were moderated by age.
法官可能会出现心理健康问题,这会降低他们在司法案件中的表现,并对法律权威和社会正义构成巨大威胁。本研究旨在评估法官心理困扰的患病率,并以年龄和性别作为调节变量,考察完美主义对心理困扰的影响。
2016年对565名中国法官进行了面对面调查,使用修订后的几乎完美量表和凯斯勒心理困扰量表。采用结构方程模型(SEM)探讨完美主义对心理困扰的影响,并通过多组分析检验年龄和性别的调节作用。
89.20%的受访法官报告有心理困扰。差异对心理困扰有显著正向影响,但秩序对心理困扰有显著负向影响,高标准对心理困扰无显著影响。年龄有显著的调节作用,而性别的调节作用不显著。
完美主义的三个维度对中国法官的心理困扰有不同影响,且这些关系受年龄调节。
