Title: | Perfectionism, acne and appearance concerns | Contributor(s): | Hanstock, Tanya (author); O'Mahony, John Finbar (author) | Publication Date: | 2002 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0191-8869(01)00120-9 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/3221 | Abstract: | This study investigated the relationship between perfectionism and two aspects of appearance worry: acne-related concerns and dysmorphic concerns. One-hundred and sixty five female university students completed measures of three facets of perfectionism: self-oriented, other-oriented and socially prescribed [Hewitt, P. L., & Flett, G. L. (1991a). Perfectionism in the self and social contexts: conceptualization, assessment and association with psychopathology. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 60, 456–470], general psychopathology (GHQ-28), acne health related quality of life [Girman, C. J., Hartmaier, S., Thiboutot, D., Johnson, J., Barter, B., DeMunro-Mercon, & Waldstreicher, J. (1996). Evaluating health-related quality of life in patients with facial acne: development of a self-administered questionnaire for clinical trials. Quality of Life Research, 5, 481–490] and dysmorphic concerns [Oostuizen, P., Lambert, T., & Castle, D.J. (1998). Dysmorphic concern: prevalence and associations with clinical variables. Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 32, 129–132]. Multiple regression analyses showed that, after controlling for general psychopathology, a high level of socially prescribed perfectionism was associated with a greater tendency to be concerned about acne in particular and appearance in general. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Personality and Individual Differences, 32(8), p. 1317-1325 | Publisher: | Elsevier Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1873-3549 0191-8869 |
