Source: Self & Identity. May2016, Vol. 15 Issue 3, p245-261. 17p.
Subjects: Self-presentation, Individual differences, Perfectionism (Personality trait), Analysis of variance, Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (Personality test)
Abstract: Extensive research has illustrated the relevance of individual differences in perfectionistic self-presentation, but there has been little work on how perfectionistic self-presentation is expressed. The current research addressed this issue by examining the tendency to project a perfectionistic image by hiding effort. This research develops and evaluates a brief unifactorial measure as an extension of perfectionistic self-presentation. It is shown that the Perfectionistic Self-Presentation Hiding Effort Scale is reliable and valid in terms of its links with multidimensional perfectionism dimensions. Further, individual differences in seeming perfect while hiding effort accounted for unique variance in depression and social anxiety. Factors and processes that contribute to attempting to seem perfect while hiding effort are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
