“…This is consistent with previous research that suggests that perfectionism is a recognized personality trait. 37,38 Bulimic symptoms, depressive symptoms, and perceived weight status were also significantly stable over time, r(144) ¼ .67, p < .001; r(130) ¼ .65, p < .001; r(130) ¼ .65, p < .001, respectively. Finally, self-esteem and anxious symptoms exhibited high levels of stability over time, as well, r(140) ¼ .55, p < .001; r(133) ¼ .54, p < 0.001, respectively.…”

“…Finally, SC perfectionism has been shown to relate to more interpersonal distance (Habke & Flynn, 2002), which is indicative of relatedness frustration. Because of their PERFECTIONISM AND PSYCHOLOGICAL NEED FRUSTRATION 9 competitive attitude, perfectionists are more likely to see others as opponents and to display a dominant and hostile attitude, for instance, by feeling superior and looking down on others (Habke & Flynn, 2002).…”

Although abundant research has shown that self-critical perfectionism relates to binge eating symptoms, fewer studies have addressed the role of intervening processes that might explain why this is the case. Grounded in self-determination theory, we hypothesized that self-critical perfectionism would relate to an increased risk for binge eating symptoms because it engenders frustration of the psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. This hypothesis was tested in a sample of 566 adolescents (72% female; mean age = 13.3 years) using a 3-wave longitudinal study with a 6-month interval. Structural equation modeling analyses showed that self-critical perfectionism related to increases in psychological need frustration which, in turn, predicted increases in binge eating symptoms. Structural relations were found to be equivalent for males and females. Theoretical and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.

“…Maladaptive perfectionism in men has been found to be related to dominant and hostile interpersonal styles, which include problems with control, manipulation, suspicion, and lack of empathy (Habke & Flynn, 2002). It is clear that these interpersonal problems, when applied to the parent-child context, are characteristic of psychological control.…”

The present study investigated the role of parental (adaptive and maladaptive) intrapersonal perfectionism as a predictor of parental psychological control and the role of parents' psychological control in the intergenerational transmission of perfectionism in a sample of female late adolescents and their parents. First, parental maladaptive perfectionism, but not parental adaptive perfectionism, significantly predicted parents' psychological control even when controlling for parents' neuroticism. This relationship was found to be stronger for fathers than for mothers. Second, a significant direct relationship was found between mothers' and daughters' maladaptive perfectionism but not between fathers' and daughters' maladaptive perfectionism. Third, process analyses showed that, for both mothers and fathers, psychological control is an intervening variable in the relationship between parents' and daughters' maladaptive perfectionism.
