Clustering by Female College students’ Perfectionism and Attachment: Appearance Dissatisfaction, Appearance Orientation, Abnormal Eating Behaviors, Depression, and Life Satisfaction
Abstract
This study examined a) natural grouping of 211 Korean female college students in terms of two subscales of perfectionism (high standard and discrepancy) and two dimensions of adult attachment (anxiety and avoidance) and b) the differences on appearance dissatisfaction, appearance orientation, abnormal eating behaviors, depression, and life satisfaction among the cluster groups. The results of cluster analysis yielded four groups. First, the ‘nonperfectionism-stable attachment’ group was characterized by low levels of high standard, discrepancy, anxiety attachment, and avoidance attachment. Second, the ‘adaptative perfectionism-stable attachment’ group, characterized by high levels of high standard and low levels of discrepancy, anxiety attachment, and avoidance attachment, reported the lowest levels of appearance dissatisfaction and depression, yet highest level of life satisfaction. Third, the ‘maladaptive perfectionism-anxious attachment’ group, characterized by high levels of high standard, discrepancy, and anxiety attachment and a low level of avoidance attachment, reported the highest levels of appearance orientation and abnormal eating behaviors. Lastly, the ‘negative self-evaluation-unstable attachment’ group, characterized by a low level of high standard but high levels of discrepancy, anxiety attachment, and avoidance attachment, showed the highest levels of appearance dissatisfaction and depression, yet lowest level of life satisfaction.
