Introduction:
The College Academic Perfectionism Scale (CAPS) is a self-report 24-item questionnaire measuring perfectionism in academic and educational environments. The present study determined the psychometric properties of the CAPS among an Iranian sample.
Methods:
The statistical sample consisted of students, 404 (115 females and 289 males) of whom were selected by nonrandomized convenience sampling to fill out the questionnaires.
Result:
Composite reliability and Cronbach alpha coefficient were used to examine the reliability and internal consistency of the CAPS, and the results revealed the appropriate internal consistency and composite reliability of the scale. Likewise, the face and content validities of the CAPS were evaluated and confirmed. Confirmatory factor analysis was also employed to determine and confirm construct and convergent validities. The analysis of the correlation showed that the CAPS positively and significantly correlated with self-efficacy, self-criticism, and perceived stress.
Conclusion:
Generally, the results displayed that this scale enjoyed desirable psychometric properties in an Iranian sample and could be applied to Iranian samples confidently.
