Abstract:
Objective: To develop a questionnaire which measures positive perfectionism. Methods: Initial items of the questionnaire were compiled according to theoretical analysis and interviews. 407 college students were recruited to respond to the items. The explorative factor analysis was used to decide the final items and dimensions. Another 309 college students were recruited to respond to the decided questionniares and several criterion questionnaires. Results: The positive perfectionism questionnaire consisted of three dimensions: Positive Self-Expectations(PSEX), Positive Organization (POR), and Positive Self-Evaluations (PSEV). Internal consistency (Cronbach’s ?) of the three dimensions were 0.87、0.76 and 0.79. The two-week test-retest reliabilities were 0.79、0.84 and 0.81. The cumulative explanation of the variance was 50.2%. A confirmative factor analysis revealed that the three-dimension model was proper (?2/df =1.71,GFI=0.89,CFI= 0.92,IFI=0.92,RMSEA=0.048). The Positve Perfectionism Questionnaire was negatively related to anxiety and depression. Conclusion: The positive perfectionism questionnaire has satisfactory psychometric characteristics.
