本研究以191名大学生为研究对象，探讨了完美主义维度、压力反应维度和自我报告的抑郁症状之间的关系。参与者完成了多维完美主义量表，完美主义认知量表，感知压力反应量表（PSRS）和抑郁症状的测量。PSRS是一种相对较新的工具，它可以测量压力反应的几个可区分的方面，包括长期压力反应，对失败的反应和对社会评价的反应。分析证实，大多数完美主义措施与失败经历的压力反应有关。社会规定的完美主义和完美主义自动思维也与长期的压力反应和社会评价反应有关。此外，所有方面的压力反应与抑郁症状。最后，长时间的压力反应和社会评价反应介导的完美主义维度和抑郁症状之间的联系。目前的研究结果为完美主义和压力的模型提供了一般性的支持，并表明完美主义者对与他们的自我定义相关的压力源具有高度的敏感性，这些压力源在经历涉及这些主题的威胁性压力源时被激活。
The current study examined the associations among dimensions of perfectionism, facets of stress reactivity, and self-reported depressive symptoms in 191 university students. Participants completed the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, the Perfectionism Cognitions Inventory, the Perceived Stress Reactivity Scale (PSRS), and a measure of depressive symptoms. The PSRS is a relatively new instrument that measures several distinguishable facets of stress reactivity including prolonged stress reactivity, reactivity to failure, and reactivity to social evaluation. Analyses confirmed that most of the perfectionism measures were associated with stress reactivity to failure experiences. Socially prescribed perfectionism and perfectionistic automatic thoughts were also associated with prolonged stress reactivity and reactivity to social evaluation. Moreover, all facets of stress reactivity were correlated with depressive symptoms. Finally, prolonged stress reactivity and reactivity to social evaluation mediated the links between perfectionism dimensions and depressive symptoms. The current findings provide general support for models of perfectionism and stress, and suggest that perfectionists have heightened sensitivities to stressors related to their self-definitions that are activated when threatening stressors involving these themes are experienced.
