Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating effects of self-concept clarity and ambivalence over emotional expressiveness on the relationships between socially-prescribed perfectionism and subjective well-being in university students. For this study, 299 college students completed an online survey consisting of multidimensional perfectionism, self-concept clarity, ambivalence over emotional expressiveness, and subjective well-being scales. The results of structural equation modeling indicated that socially-prescribed perfectionism negatively affected subjective well-being and self-concept clarity, and positively affected ambivalence emotional over expressiveness. Self-concept clarity had a negative effect on subjective well-being while ambivalence emotional over expressiveness had a positive effect on subjective well-being. In addition, self-concept clarity negatively affected ambivalence emotional over expressiveness. There were the multiple mediating effects of self-concept clarity and ambivalence emotional over expressiveness on the relationships between socially-prescribed perfectionism and subjective well-being. Based on these findings, the implications of this study and suggestions for further research were discussed.
