“…The CAPS-SF comprises two subscales measuring socially-prescribed perfectionism and self-oriented perfectionism. In a sample of 9–18-year-olds, both subscales show adequate internal consistency (Cronbach’s a = 0.84–0.86), test-retest reliability (0.67 and 0.61, p = <0.001) and structural validity (CFI = 0.975, RMSEA 0.047; Bento et al, 2020 ). In the current study both the self-oriented and socially-prescribed subscales had good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.84 and 0.88 respectively).…”

IntroductionSocial media use (SMU) is highly prevalent amongst young people and previous research suggests an association with mental health problems, including poor body image. However, the potential relationship between SMU and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) has received little attention. Furthermore, little is known about the factors that moderate the potential association between SMU and body dysmorphic symptoms. The current study tested the associations between three facets of SMU and body dysmorphic symptoms and explored perfectionism as a moderator in a non-clinical sample.MethodTwo-hundred and nine 16-18-year-olds (mean age = 16.5 years, 37% male) recruited from schools in London completed an online survey measuring aspects of SMU, including: frequency of image-and text-based SMU; motivations for SMU (appearance, popularity, connection or values and interests); and active and passive SMU. Participants additionally completed validated measures of body dysmorphic symptoms, perfectionism, and anxiety/depressive symptoms. Linear regression models tested the association of body dysmorphic symptoms with different facets of SMU, with and without adjustment for age, sex and anxiety/depressive symptoms.ResultsFrequency of use of image-based, but not text-based, platforms was significantly and positively associated with body dysmorphic symptoms, and this association remained significant in the adjusted models. Appearance-based motivation for SMU was the only motivator uniquely associated with body dysmorphic symptoms across the unadjusted and adjusted models. Passive, not active, SMU was associated with body dysmorphic symptoms in unadjusted models, but this association became non-significant in the adjusted models. Self-oriented perfectionism moderated the association between frequency of image-based SMU and body dysmorphic symptoms.DiscussionImage-based SMU, and appearance-based motivations for SMU, are positively associated with body dysmorphic symptoms. Self-oriented perfectionism may amplify the relationship between SMU and body dysmorphic symptoms. Our findings highlight the importance of a nuanced approach to examining SMU, and the need for further research to determine whether specific facets of SMU contribute to the development and/or maintenance of body dysmorphic symptoms.

“…In this study, it was aimed to adapt the Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale-Short Form (CAPS) to Turkish culture. The Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale developed by Flett et al (2001) was made into a short form by Bento et al (2020). It is noteworthy that the scales related to perfectionism in the literature have a high number of items.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale-Short Form (CAPS-SF) developed by Bento et al. (2020). In the study, 364 children and adolescents (110 males; 254 females) aged 10 to 22 years participated. Construct validity of the scale was tested by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). In order to test the criterion validity, the correlation coefficients between CAPS-SF and Positive-Negative Perfectionism Scale (PNPS), Short Form of the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire were calculated. The sub-dimensions of the CAPS-SF were found to be positively correlated with the two sub-dimensions of the PNPS. The reliability of the scale was tested by internal consistency coefficient, item-total statistics, and extreme group method. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be .80. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the model's goodness of fit was satisfactory (x 2 /sd=2.87, GFI=.956, AGFI=.924, CFI=.956, RMSEA=.072, RMR=.045). According to CFA, factor loadings ranged from .48 to .81. According to EFA, factor loadings ranged from .55 to .88. As a result of the CFA and EFA, CAPS-SF was found to have a two-factor structure similar to the original scale. In conclusion, the Turkish version of the CAPS-SF, which has adequate psychometric properties, was found to be validand reliable for Turkish culture.

The psychometrics of the Persian version of the perfectionistic self‐presentation scale–junior form

Introduction The perfectionistic self‐presentation scale (PSPS)–junior form is a self‐report questionnaire used to measure perfectionistic self‐presentation in children and adolescents. It consists of 18 items and 3 subscales, including perfectionistic self‐promotion, non‐display of imperfection, and nondisclosure of imperfection. Methods The present study aimed to determine the psychometrics of the Persian version of the PSPS. A descriptive study was conducted on 345 samples (269 girls) who responded to the questionnaire. Results The findings confirmed the internal consistency and composite reliability (CR) of this scale (CR = 0.744). Further, the Persian PSPS has acceptable face and content validities. Construct and convergent validities were also measured and confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The correlational analysis of the research variables showed that the PSPS is positively correlated with the Child‐Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (0.566) and the children's and adolescents’ dysfunctional attitudes scale (0.420). Conclusion Overall, the results indicated that the Persian version of the PSPS has acceptable psychometrics and can yield accurate results in Iranian samples.
