Abstract

In the present study it was tested that stress and repetitive thought may mediate sequentially among evaluative concerns perfectionism, anxiety, and depression. In Study 1, five hundred twenty five undergraduate students completed the following questionnaires: the Multidemensional Perfectionism Scale, the Almost Perfect Scale-Revised, the Revised Life Stress Scale for College Students, the Daily Hassles Scale, the Penn State Worry Questionnaire, the Worry Domains Questionnaire, the Impact of Event Scale, the Ruminative Response Scale, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and the Beck Depression Inventory. The results of structural equation models showed that stress and repetitive thought mediate the relationship among evaluative concerns perfectionism, anxiety, and depression. The fitness of the proposed model was appropriate. In other words, the participants with higher levels of evaluative concerns perfectionism experienced higher levels of stress and repetitive thought. Consequently, anxiety and depression were induced. Study 2 examined whether the mediation model of Study 1 might be cross-validated with data from 207 undergraduate students. The model of Study 1 was replicated. On the basis of these results, it was confirmed that evaluative concerns perfectionism’s influence on anxiety and depression through the mediation of stress and repetitive thought. The significance and limitations of this study were discussed.
