Abstract
The relationships established within the family are extremely important in the development of individual personality traits. The goal of this study was to investigate the relation between the development of perfectionism and attachment representations in a sample of 690 young adults, aged between 17 and 30 years old. Participants completed two scales of Self-report Measure of Perfectionism (H-MPS and F-MPS) and the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), as well as a Social-Demographic Questionnaire. Results indicate the existence of a relation between maladaptive perfectionism dimensions and an insecure attachment representation to parents, whereas adaptive perfectionism dimensions seem to be related to a secure attachment representation. The results suggest that one of the contributing factors to the development of perfectionism is the nature of parental relationships and their consequent interactions.
Highlights
The relationships established within the family are extremely important in the development of individual personality traits
Preocupação excessiva em cometer erros e uma incapacitante culpabilização do self, excessiva auto-crítica, um sentimento persistente de que os padrões ou expectativas auto-impostos não estão a ser alcançados e uma preocupação em desiludir os outros (Hamachek, 1978)
Segundo Craddock, Church e Sands (2008), o perfeccionismo abrange a tendência para estabelecer padrões excessivamente elevados, aderindo rigidamente aos mesmos, a valorizar fortemente a obtenção de excelência e a perscrutar os resultados de uma forma extremamente crítica
Summary
The relationships established within the family are extremely important in the development of individual personality traits. Serão utilizadas as subescalas Pai e Mãe (excluindo-se a escala referente aos amigos), compostas por 50 itens distribuídos equitativamente pela figura materna e paterna, uma vez que pretendemos conhecer a percepção dos participantes sobre as relações de vinculação com os pais.
