Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Frost's Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale(FMPS).Methods: One thousand two hundred and eighty Chinese undergraduate students participated in the study and responded to the FMPS and instruments measuring psychological distresses such as anxiety,depression,and obsession-compulsion.Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to examine the factor structure of the Chinese FMPS.The association between FMPS and psychological distresses was analyzed as an investigation for criterion validity.Results: Factor analyses extracted five of the original six factors of FMPS.PC did not emerge as a dimension.The five subscales were shown to have satisfactory internal consistencies with Cronbach's alpha between 0.64 and 0.81 and test-retest reliability 0.63~0.82.Chinese FMPS was associated with anxiety,depression,and obsession-compulsion.Particularly,CM and DA are correlated with these psychological distresses with coefficients between 0.30 and 0.70.Conclusion: Chinese FMPS is satisfactorily valid and reliable.It is suitable to use in Chinese college students.
