Comparing Two Short Forms of the Hewitt–Flett Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale

“…Sample 1 provided data from an unpublished study to examine the short forms' correlations with the traits of the five-factor model of personality (McCrae & Costa, 1999) and obsessive-compulsive personality traits (Samuel, Riddell, Lynam, Miller, & Widiger, 2012). Samples 2-4 provided data from three published studies (Stoeber, 2014a(Stoeber, , 2015 to examine the short forms' correlations with the HEXACO personality traits, the dark triad personality traits, social goals, and various personal and interpersonal orientations (see Method for details). participate for extra course credits or for a £50 raffle (~US $71).…”

“…For social achievement goals, participants completed items capturing development ("It is important to me to learn more about other students and what they are like"), demonstration-approach ("It is important to me that other students think I am popular"), and demonstration-avoidance goals ("It is important to me that I don't embarrass myself around my friends"; see again Stoeber, 2014a, for further details). exactly as I would like to be") and interpersonal ("I am superior to others") positive selfevaluations (see Stoeber, 2015, for further details).…”

“…Stoeber, 2014aStoeber, , 2015. Next, Box's M tests examined whether the variancecovariance matrices of male and female participants differed.…”

“…Finally, we examined the reliabilities of all scale scores. All scores (alpha = .66), and aggressive humor in Sample 4 (alpha = .66; see Stoeber, 2014aStoeber, , 2015.…”

“…Table 2 shows the results. Because the correlations that the original version showed in Samples 2-4 have been previously examined (Stoeber, 2014a(Stoeber, , 2015, To gauge whether the correlations of the short form scores replicated those of the original version, I examined whether the correlations of the short form were within the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the correlation of the original version. If the answer was yes, the comparison was scored as a "hit" (); else, it was scored as a "miss" ().…”
