Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between maladaptive perfectionism and the fatigue, and the mediating role of the depression and anxiety in their relationship. A total of 491 participants (252 university students and 239 employees) in Daegu/Kyongbuk area participated in the study. Participants completed the fatigue(Fatigue Scale), maladaptive perfectionism (Multidimensional Perfectionism: FMPS), and depression and anxiety (BDI and BAI). Major findings of the study were the following. First, maladaptive perfectionism and the fatigue showed a significant positive correlation. Secondly, maladaptive perfectionism showed a significant positive correlation with depression and anxiety. Thirdly, depression and anxiety were significantly and positively correlated with fatigue. Fourthly, while depression fully mediated the relationship between maladaptive perfectionism and the fatigue, anxiety partially mediated. As the level of maladaptive perfectionism increases, so does the level of depression and anxiety, which in turn increases the level of fatigue. Lastly, in case of the comorbidity of anxiety and depression, it completely mediated the relationship between maladaptive perfectionism and fatigue. The current findings suggest that psychological factors like maladpative perfectionism, anxiety and depression should be considered in the evaluation and treatment of fatigue.
