“…For example, university students high in partner-prescribed perfectionism reported lower relationship satisfaction in their romantic relationships than students low in partner-prescribed perfectionism (Stoeber, 2012). Also in married couples, spouses high in partner-prescribed perfectionism reported lower relationship satisfaction than spouses low in partner-prescribed perfectionism.…”

“…Regarding the two social forms of perfectionism in Hewitt and Flett's (1991) model, other-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism, research has shown that they also play an important role in dyadic perfectionism, that is, perfectionism in dyadic relationships (e.g., couples engaged in a romantic relationship or married couples) in the form of partner-oriented and partner-prescribed perfectionism (Habke, Hewitt, & Flett, 1999;Haring, Hewitt, & Flett, 2003;Stoeber, 2012). Partner-oriented perfectionism is other-oriented perfectionism where the partner represents the "other" of "other-oriented"; hence it captures perfectionistic expectations 6 towards the partner.…”

“…In married couples, partner-oriented perfectionism did not show any significant relationships with relationship satisfaction, marital happiness, dyadic adjustment, or sexual satisfaction (Habke et al, 1999;Haring et al, 2003). In university students, however, partner-oriented perfectionism showed both positive and negative relationships: Two studies found partner-oriented perfectionism to show positive correlations with relationship satisfaction (Lopez, Fons-Scheyd, Morúa, & Chaliman, 2006;Shea, Slaney & Rice, 2006) whereas one study found negative correlations with relationship satisfaction and longterm commitment (Stoeber, 2012). Hence, like other-oriented perfectionism, partner-oriented perfectionism seems to be an ambivalent form of perfectionism associated with both adjustment and maladjustment.…”

Perfectionism is a multidimensional personality characteristic that can affect all areas of life.This article presents the first systematic investigation of multidimensional perfectionism in the domain of sexuality exploring the unique relationships that different forms of sexual perfectionism show with positive and negative aspects of sexuality. A sample of 272 university students (52 male, 220 female) completed measures of four forms of sexual perfectionism: selforiented, partner-oriented, partner-prescribed, and socially prescribed. In addition, they completed measures of sexual esteem, sexual self-efficacy, sexual optimism, sex life satisfaction (capturing positive aspects of sexuality) and sexual problem self-blame, sexual anxiety, sexual depression, and negative sexual perfectionism cognitions during sex (capturing negative aspects).Results showed unique patterns of relationships for the four forms of sexual perfectionism, suggesting that partner-prescribed and socially prescribed sexual perfectionism are maladaptive forms of sexual perfectionism associated with negative aspects of sexuality whereas self-oriented and partner-oriented sexual perfectionism emerged as ambivalent forms associated with positive and negative aspects.

“…Yet, other-oriented perfectionism never received the attention that the other two forms of perfectionism received, even though it plays a key role in dyadic perfectionism in the form of spouse-and partneroriented perfectionism (i.e., other-oriented perfectionism directed towards one's spouse or romantic partner; e.g., Habke, Hewitt, & Flett, 1999;Haring, Hewitt, & Flett, 2003;Stoeber, 2012). Moreover, other-oriented perfectionism has been suggested as a defining component of "narcissistic perfectionism," a higher-order form of perfectionism combining other-oriented partial correlations and found other-oriented perfectionism to show positive correlations with self-reported social problem solving ability whereas self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism showed negative or nonsignificant correlations.…”

“…The concept of perfectionism has been found to be related to variety of interpersonal behaviours which may affect the relationship adjustment of the couples (Hewitt, Flett & Mikail, 1995;Haring, Hewitt, & Flett, 2003;Stoeber, 2012). Recent conceptualization of perfectionism has been advanced by research showing that perfectionism is a multidimentional construct that includes both intrapersonal and interpersonal components.…”

This study aimed to examine the concept of marital adjustment and its relation with perfectionism (self-oriented, otheroriented and socially-prescribed perfectionism), the ways of coping (problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping and seeking social support) and gender variables. The research was carried out with 290 married individuals (188 females and 102 males). Participants were administered a questionnaire to ascertain their socio-demographic characteristics along with several assessment scales including Dyadic Adjustment Scale, Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, The Ways of Coping Inventory, Brief Symptom Inventory. A series of analyses of Covariance (ANCOVA) was conducted to evaluate the effects of personal level of perfectionism (self-oriented, other-oriented and socially-prescribed perfectionism), the ways of coping (problem-oriented coping, emotion-oriented coping and seeking social support) and gender on marital adjustment, after controlling for psychopathological symptom levels. The results demonstrated that individuals who had self-oriented perfectionism and individuals, those who applied problem-oriented coping strategies more often, reported greater level of marital adjustment. Specifically, socially-prescribed perfectionism in males and self-oriented perfectionism in females were found to be the determinant figure on the issue of marital adjustment. Another finding revealed an interaction effect between self-oriented perfectionism and seeking social support. The findings were discussed in the light of relevant literature regarding the structure of Turkish society.
