1 Perfectly Imperfect Cydney Lebovitz ~ ONSAP 2016 Perfectionism Defined • “enduring, global, multidimensional personality trait” (Hewitt & Flett, 1991) • Central feature is the setting of excessively high performance standards in conjunction with a tendency to make overly critical self-evaluations • Set and hold rigid to unrealistic standards for themselves and others • Attend selectively to failure experiences • Engage in all or nothing thinking; the only outcome possibilities are total success or total failure Hamacheck (1978): Normal and Neurotic perfectionism • Suggested that normal perfectionists emphasize the need to achieve high personal standards and a desire to excel in performance • Neurotic perfectionists experience anxiety and fear failure Slade and Owens (1998): Positive and Negative Perfectionism • Positive (adaptive) Perfectionism is characterized as normal, adaptive, or healthy • Negative (maladaptive) perfectionism is unhealthy and can be pathological Adler Would have said that perfectionism is essentially striving for superiority and is neurotic. Depicted by: • Constant striving • Circular thinking • Insatiable drive • Quite simply “nothing is perfect and the desire for the impossible is maladaptive” Social Interest • An individual's attitude toward and awareness of being a part of the human community • Mental health is measured by the degree to which we successfully share with others and are concerned with their welfare • Happiness and success are largely related to social connectedness Frost et al., (1993) Clarified the difference: • Maladaptive perfectionism generally associated with dissatisfaction, high levels of socially dictated standards, fear of failure, and maladaptive evaluation apprehensiveness such as concern over mistakes and doubts about actions o have a tendency to perceive more stress in their lives and endorse more rigid, inflexible, and dichotomous views of people, issues, and themselves • Adaptive perfectionism is generally related to high levels of organization, a self-oriented focus, high personal standards and satisfaction with goal achievement o Have higher self-esteem, higher self-confidence, and demonstrate better emotional adjustment and ability to cope with stress
