“…Previous research supports the notion that perfectionism is related to social anxiety. For instance, individuals diagnosed with social anxiety disorder have been consistently found to exhibit higher levels of perfectionism when compared to control groups (Antony et al, 1998;Juster et al, 1996;Wheeler et al, 2011). Longitudinal studies exploring the directionality of the relationship between perfectionism and social anxiety are limited and yield mixed results.…”

“…On the other hand, mixed support has been garnered for the link between perfectionistic strivings and social anxiety. Some studies have found a positive relationship between perfectionistic strivings and social anxiety (Juster et al, 1996), while others have found a negative relationship (Kawamoto et al, 2023), or no relationship Nepon et al, 2011). Some researchers suggest that perfectionistic strivings is only linked to psychopathology if it occurs in the presence of perfectionistic concerns (Alden et al, 2002).…”

“…Correlational research has also offered some support for a relationship between social anxiety and the dimensions of parental criticism PERFECTIONISM AND SOCIAL ANXIETY and expectations (Iancu et al, 2014;Juster et al, 1996;Mohammadian et al, 2018). For other dimensions of perfectionism such as otheroriented perfectionism and organization, there appears to be little to no support for a relationship with social anxiety (Saboonchi & Lundh, 1997).…”

This meta-analysis examined the relationships between dimensions of perfectionism and social anxiety. A literature search using the databases PsychINFO, Medline, and Embase yielded 40 studies. Our findings showed large to very-large-sized associations between social anxiety and dimensions of perfectionism related to perfectionistic concerns, namely socially prescribed perfectionism, doubts about actions, concerns over mistakes, and discrepancy, as well as self-presentational perfectionism. Overall, our findings suggest that when understanding and treating social anxiety, it would be worthwhile considering the individual's beliefs that others expect perfection, their tendency to doubt their own action, their concern over making mistakes, and beliefs about needing to present themselves perfectly. Explorative moderation analysis suggests that individual differences such as age, sex, and type of social anxiety did not moderate the relationship between perfectionism and social anxiety. Region moderated the association between perfectionistic strivings and social anxiety. Sample setting should be considered when understanding how dimensions of perfectionism relate to social anxiety. Our results shed light on the importance of perfectionism in social anxiety, which may inform the future development of interventions that target perfectionism in social anxiety. Public Health Significance StatementThis systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the evidence on which types of perfectionism are related to social anxiety. The results indicated that socially prescribed perfectionism, doubts about actions, concern over mistakes, discrepancy, and self-presentational perfectionism were associated with social anxiety. It has public significance because it offers insight into which types of perfectionism may be worth targeting when supporting individuals who experience social anxiety.

Background Orthorexia Nervosa (ON) is a disordered eating style involving an unhealthy obsession with ‘healthy’ or ‘clean’ eating. Its aetiology is still poorly understood and is not yet recognised in diagnostic manuals. While ON has been associated with Obsessive Compulsive (OC) symptoms and perfectionism, no study to date has looked at the relationship between OC symptoms and ON tendencies via perfectionism, or the influence of two facets of perfectionism in this relationship, namely evaluative concern and achievement striving. Examining the potential role of perfectionism helps to understand the aetiology of ON as well as inform potential treatments tailored specifically for ON and comorbid OC symptoms. Methods In this cross sectional study, we tested 507 participants (n = 70 males, n = 69 at risk of ON) on questionnaires measuring OC symptoms, perfectionism and ON symptoms. We ran two mediation analyses to look at the overall relationship between perfectionism and OC and ON symptoms (Model 1) as well as the specific contribution of evaluative concern and achievement striving in the relationship between OC and ON symptoms (Model 2). Results We found that perfectionism partially mediated the relationship between OC and ON symptoms. Specifically, we found that while achievement striving and evaluative concern were associated with OC symptoms, only achievement striving was significantly associated with ON symptoms, mediating the relationship between OC and ON symptoms. Conclusions This study highlighted the role of one key facet of perfectionism (achievement striving) in the aetiology of ON. The role of achievement striving was indicated as a transdiagnostic construct explaining the link between ON and OC symptoms. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for treatment models, specifically in terms of the potential role of targeting perfectionism in ON treatment.
