Blasberg, Jonathan S.; Hewitt, Paul L.; Flett, Gordon L.; Sherry, Simon B.; Chen, Chang – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2016
In the current research, we illustrate the impact that item wording has on the content of personality scales and how differences in item wording influence empirical results. We present evidence indicating that items in certain scales used to measure "adaptive" perfectionism fail to capture the disabling all-or-nothing approach that is…

Flett, Gordon L.; Hewitt, Paul L.; Su, Chang; Flett, Kathleen D. – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2016
The pressures inherent in trying to be perfect can undermine learning and exacerbate anxiety in certain students. In the current article, we review existing research and theory on the role of perfectionism in language learning anxiety and performance deficits. Our analysis highlights the complexities inherent in the perfectionism construct,…

Flett, Gordon L.; Hewitt, Paul L. – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2013
It is now recognized that there is a very high prevalence of psychological disorders among children and adolescents and relatively few receive psychological treatment. In the current article, we present the argument that levels of distress and dysfunction among young people are substantially underestimated and the prevalence of psychological…

Hewitt, Paul L.; Smith, Martin M.; Flett, Gordon L.; Ko, Ariel; Kerns, Connor; Birch, Susan; Peracha, Hira – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2022
Research on adults indicates other-oriented perfectionism (requiring perfection from others) is associated with various consequential outcomes independent of self-oriented perfectionism (requiring perfection of the self) and socially prescribed perfectionism (believing others require perfection of the self). However, historically, the most widely…

Flett, Gordon L.; Hewitt, Paul L. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
In this article, we introduce this second special issue on the assessment of perfectionism along with an overview of developments in the perfectionism field over the past 30 years following the shift to studying perfectionism as a multidimensional construct. We examine some key contributions over the past decade, including the proliferation of…

Sherry, Simon B.; Hewitt, Paul L.; Flett, Gordon L.; Harvey, Melissa – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2003
P.L. Hewitt and G. L. Flett's (1991b) model of perfectionism dimensions (i.e., self-oriented, other-oriented, and socially prescribed perfectionism) was compared with A. T. Beck's model (G. P. Brown & A.T. Beck, 2002) of dysfunctional attitudes (i.e., perfectionistic attitudes [PA] and dependent attitudes [DA]) in predicting depression in 70…

Besser, Avi; Flett, Gordon L.; Sherry, Simon B.; Hewitt, Paul L. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
Perfectionistic automatic thoughts have been linked with depressive symptoms in numerous cross-sectional studies, but this link has not been assessed in longitudinal research. An investigation with two timepoints was conducted to test whether perfectionistic automatic thoughts, as assessed by the Perfectionism Cognitions Inventory (PCI), are…

Smith, Martin M.; Sherry, Simon B.; Ray, Cassondra M.; Lee-Baggley, Dayna; Hewitt, Paul L.; Flett, Gordon L. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
The Existential Model of Perfectionism and Depressive Symptoms (EMPDS) is a promising integrative model. According to the EMPDS, self-oriented perfectionism and socially prescribed perfectionism indirectly influence depressive symptoms through rumination and difficulty accepting the past. Yet, the extent to which self-oriented perfectionism,…

Bento, Carmen; Pereira, Ana Telma; Azevedo, Julieta; Saraiva, Jorge; Flett, Gordon L.; Hewitt, Paul L.; Macedo, Antonio – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
The objective of the present study was to develop and assess the validity of a short form of the Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS). Two Portuguese samples composed of 756 adolescents were used to cross-validate the factorial structure of a nine-item Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale--Short Form (CAPS-SF). The CAPS-SF consists of a…

Flett, Gordon L.; Mara, Constance A.; Hewitt, Paul L.; Sirois, Fuschia; Molnar, Danielle S. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2016
Research on perfectionism with the Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R) distinguishes adaptive perfectionists versus maladaptive perfectionists based primarily on their responses to the 12-item unidimensional APS-R Discrepancy subscale, which assesses the sense of falling short of standards. People described as adaptive perfectionists have high…

Flett, Gordon L.; Hewitt, Paul L.; Nepon, Taryn – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
In the current article, we describe the development and validation of a self-report measure of self-generated stress and its associations with measures of perfectionism, self-criticism, and distress. The Self-Generated Stress Scale is a seven-item inventory that taps the tendency to see oneself as someone who generates and adds to existing…

There is growing interest in perfectionism among children and adolescents as well as growing interest in the measures designed to assess perfectionism in young people. The current article describes the development and psychometric characteristics of the Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS), a measure that assesses self-oriented…

Flett, Gordon L.; Nepon, Taryn; Hewitt, Paul L.; Zaki-Azat, Justeena; Rose, Alison L.; Swiderski, Kristina – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
In the current article, we describe the development and validation of the Mistake Rumination Scale as a supplement to existing trait and cognitive measures of perfectionism. The Mistake Rumination Scale is a seven-item inventory that taps the tendency to ruminate about a past personal mistake. Psychometric analyses confirmed that the Mistake…

Zeifman, Richard J.; Atkey, Sarah K.; Young, Rebecca E.; Flett, Gordon L.; Hewitt, Paul L.; Goldberg, Joel O. – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2015
In the current study, we investigated whether adolescents high in perfectionism are prone to experiencing self-stigma for seeking psychological help. This work is based on the premise that the need to seek help for psychological difficulties is not consistent with idealistic personal goals of perfectionistic young people and their desire to retain…

Roxborough, Heather M.; Hewitt, Paul L.; Kaldas, Janet; Flett, Gordon L.; Caelian, Carmen M.; Sherry, Simon; Sherry, Dayna L. – Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 2012
The role of interpersonal components of perfectionism in suicide outcomes among youth was assessed and the Perfectionism Social Disconnection Model (PSDM) was tested by determining whether the links between socially prescribed perfectionism (SPP) and perfectionistic self-presentation (PSP) and suicide outcomes are mediated by experiences of social…
