A Relationship of Perfectionism, Rumination and Depression : Adaptive Perfectionism and Maladaptive Perfectionism
Abstract
This study aims to confirm whether perfectionism comprises of two different factors, adaptive or maladaptive, and to investigate whether these factors cause opposite effects on depression, and also to explore whether mediation of rumination acts differently in relation to perfectionism and depression. Three questionnaires were put forward for a sample of 735 (705 samples used) university students, by using MPS, RDQ and CES-D, and the resulting data were analyzed by using the Factor Analysis and Regression Analysis. Results of the analysis showed that perfectionism was comprised of adaptive and maladaptive factors. While adaptive perfectionism does not correlate with depression, the maladaptive factors appear to have meaningful correlations with depression and the rumination partially mediated the relationship between perfectionism and depression. The study also showed that sexual differences exist, as in males, the rumination fully mediated the relationship between perfectionism and depression while only showing partial mediation effects in females. It was especially noted that under the sub-criterion of “parental criticism and depression”, males have shown to have full mediation effects from rumination as opposed to females only showing a partial effect. Furthermore, results of this study showed that from the two factors of perfectionism, adaptive and maladaptive, only the maladaptive perfectionism was correlated with depression. Rumination is identified as a cognitive factor which mediates the effects of depression from maladaptive perfectionisms.
