Abstract
Research showed that low resistance to peer influence is considered a risk factor in developing vulnerability toward socio- cultural promoted models. A personality trait that favours compliance to social standards is perfectionism. Peoples with high levels of perfectionism have higher expectations for themselves and lower self-esteem. Lately, perfectionism is analysed as a multidimensional concept, studies making a distinction between social and individual dimensions of perfectionism. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between perfectionism dimensions and resistance to peer influence in adolescence. Specific types of perfectionism were examined. Results showed that only perfectionist self-promotion and nondisplay of imperfection were related to low resistance to peer influences.
