Abstract

The present study examined whether perfectionism (maladaptive perfectionism, adaptive perfectionism) moderated the association between acculturative stress and two psychological indexes (depression, somatization). Data were collected through online and offline surveys from 378 Chinese international students attending Korean universities. Results from hierarchical regression analyses showed that there were significant conditional effect of acculturative stress, maladaptive perfectionism, and adaptive perfectionism on depression and a significant conditional effect of acculturative stress on somatization. Also, there were significant two-way interactions, indicating that acculturative stress and adaptive perfectionism interacted to predict somatization. Implications for counseling and future research directions are discussed.
