“…Together with a strong relationship with SOP and SPP, this research has found a positive relationship between the frequency of perfectionistic cognitions and a range of negative emotions and stress-related factors. Frequent perfectionistic cognitions have been associated with self-criticism, negative forms of cognitive-emotion coping, and deficits in positive forms of cognitive-emotion coping (e.g., Macedo et al, 2017). Frequent perfectionistic cognitions have also been found to have a significant positive and medium-tolarge relationship with negative affect and a number of specific emotions, such as anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms (e.g., Flett et al, 1998).…”

“…Se entiende así que los perfeccionistas vivencian los fallos como un fracaso, (i.e. "no sirvo para nada") y no solo como una equivocación (Davis & Wosinski, 2012;Macedo et al, 2017). Asimismo, utilizan estándares dobles para medir sus desempeños en comparación de los demás, para quienes tienen normas más lábiles que para Revista de Investigación Apuntes Universitarios DOI: https://doi.org/10.17162/au.v8i1.177 ellos mismos .…”

ResumenEl perfeccionismo puede ser entendido como la tendencia a establecer estándares de desempeño elevados y hasta irracionales, a realizar una autoevaluación estricta y rígida, y a medir el valor personal en relación a los logros y/o fracasos. El modelo cognitivo propone la descripción de perfiles cognitivos en los que se incluyen algunos componentes principales como los esquemas, las creencias, las distorsiones cognitivas, los pensamientos automáticos y el afrontamiento. En este trabajo se procuró describir el perfil cognitivo de los perfeccionistas desadaptativos para lo que se realizó una revisión no sistemática de la bibliografía buscando evidencias empíricas de los componentes de ese perfil. Se hallaron evidencias sobre la presencia de esquemas principalmente referidos al dominio de desconexión/rechazo, creencias acerca de la necesidad perfección y la auto-valoración contingente, un sesgo interpretativo de perfección y otros como la atención selectiva y el pensamiento dicotómico, diversos pensamientos automáticos de tipo perfeccionista que se suelen asociar a pensamientos negativos más generales y que perseveran en forma de rumiaciones y autocrítica; y un estilo de afrontamiento enfocado en la emoción que no logra neutralizar las situaciones estresantes. Los lectores encontrar en este artículo información accesible y actualizada útil para identificar objetivos preventivos o de tratamiento. Palabras clave: perfeccionismo desadaptativo -esquemas -creencias -afrontamientocogniciones Theoretical review on maladaptive perfectionism's cognitive profile AbstractPerfectionism may be understood as the tendency to set high and irrational standards, to stringently self evaluate and to asses self-worth based on achievement or failure. The cognitive model proposes the identification of cognitive profiles comprised of: schemas, beliefs, cognitive distortions, automatic thoughts and coping. The aim of this work was to describe maladaptive perfectionist's cognitive profile. A non-systematic scientific literature review was made and empiric evidence was found. Maladaptive perfectionist's cognitive profile was described as the presence of schemas belonging to the disconnection/reject domain; beliefs about one's need to be perfect and beliefs about contingent self-worth; biased interpretation of perfection, attentional bias and dichotomous thinking; perfectionistic automatic thoughts that associate with general negative cognitions, which tend to be maintained through rumination and self-criticism; and an emotion-focused coping style which is unhelpful to neutralize stressful situations. This article brings accessible and updated information which can be, useful to recognize the maladaptive perfectionist's profile, and to identify goals for prevention or treatment interventions.

“…O'Connor et al, (2007) found the brooding component of rumination to be correlated with self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism. Macedo et al (2017) also found rumination and catastrophizing to be significantly correlated with high levels of perfectionistic concerns determined by the HF-MPS and the F-MPS. Their study revealed high associations between these maladaptive emotion regulation strategies and perfectionistic cognitions.…”

“…Research has demonstrated that maladaptive emotion regulation mediates the relation between maladaptive perfectionism and distress (Castro et al, 2017;Macedo et al, 2017;O'Connor et al, 2007). This mediation model has not been examined in a laboratory setting when individuals face an experience of failure.…”

“…This finding was consistently true for socially prescribed perfectionism, the most maladaptive form of perfectionism in this conceptualization, and self-oriented perfectionism, which also has some maladaptive components. Macedo et al (2017) found that rumination and catastrophizing had mediating roles between perfectionism and psychological distress, including depression and anxiety. Senra, Merino, and Ferreiro (2017) additionally found that brooding, reflection, and immature defenses were mediators between self-oriented perfectionism and depressive symptoms, as well as socially prescribed perfectionism and depressive symptoms.…”

Mediation Among Maladaptive Perfectionism, Maladaptive Emotion Regulation, and Distress

To my knowledge, however, this mediation had not been studied when an individual experiences momentary distress and must actively regulate his or her emotions. This study was designed to validate the general mediation model and then determine if this model occurs between maladaptive perfectionism, momentary maladaptive emotion regulation, and momentary distress when an experience of failure is induced. I elicited distress to determine if the level of failure that one faced would moderate the pathway between maladaptive perfectionism and maladaptive emotion regulation in the mediation model. Results showed that when all three mediators were examined in a structural equation model, typical use of rumination mediated the relation between trait levels of maladaptive perfectionism and typical distress, but typical use of suppression and reappraisal did not. In the momentary distress model, moderated mediation was present for one's momentary use of rumination but not for suppression and reappraisal. More specifically, momentary rumination mediated the path between maladaptive perfectionism and momentary distress in the low-failure condition but not in the high-failure condition. This finding demonstrates that for individuals high in maladaptive perfectionism, situations that result in extremely high distress may result in one detaching from his or her goals to avoid feeling inferior. Limitations, future directions, and implications are discussed.
