Abstract:
The present study examined the factor structure of the Turkish Almost Perfect Scale-Revised to identify adaptive and maladaptive perfectionists and non-perfectionists and examined whether the participants (N= 383) in these groups differed on a measure of psychological distress. A confirmatory factor analysis of the Turkish Almost Perfect Scale-Revised yielded three subscales: High Standards, Order, and Discrepancy. A cluster analysis identified adaptive perfectionists, maladaptive perfectionists, and non-perfectionists and these groups were found to be significantly different from each other on a measure of psychological distress.
