Perfectionism is a transdiagnostic process contributing to the onset and maintenance of anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the association between perfectionism, and symptoms of anxiety, OCD and depression among young people aged 6-24 years. A systematic literature search retrieved a total of 4,927 articles, with 121 studies included (M = ~17.70 years). Perfectionistic concerns demonstrated significant moderate pooled correlations with symptoms of anxiety ( = .37-.41), OCD ( = .42), and depression ( = .40). Perfectionistic strivings demonstrated significant, small correlations with symptoms of anxiety ( = .05) and OCD ( = .19). The findings highlight the substantial link between perfectionistic concerns and psychopathology in young people, and to a smaller extent perfectionistic strivings, anxiety, and OCD. The results indicate the importance of further research on early intervention for perfectionism to improve youth mental health.
完美主义是一种跨诊断过程，会导致焦虑、强迫症（OCD）和抑郁的发生和持续。本系统回顾和荟萃分析的目的是研究完美主义与 6-24 岁年轻人的焦虑、强迫症和抑郁症状之间的关系。系统文献检索共检索到 4927 篇文章，其中包括 121 项研究（M = 约 17.70 岁）。完美主义关注与焦虑症状（ = .37-.41）、强迫症（ = .42）和抑郁症状（ = .40）呈显著中度相关。完美主义努力与焦虑症状（ = .05）和强迫症（ = .19）呈显著小相关。研究结果强调了完美主义关注与年轻人心理病理学之间的实质性联系，在较小程度上与完美主义努力、焦虑和强迫症有关。研究结果表明，需要进一步研究针对完美主义的早期干预，以改善青年的心理健康。
