Abstract Objective There is a paucity of research investigating the underlying aetiological mechanisms contributing to dysmorphic concern. In the present study, we used a multidimensional measure of perfectionism and a dot‐probe task, borrowed from the dysmorphic concern and body dysmorphic disorder literature, to assess associations between subtypes of perfectionism (i.e., concerns and strivings), selective attention towards target word stimuli (i.e., DC‐body, DC‐negative, and DC‐positive words), and dysmorphic concern. This was the first study to simultaneously examine these predictors and to investigate specific underlying selective attention mechanisms using probes and stimuli relevant to dysmorphic concern. Informed by current theories, we hypothesised that perfectionistic concerns and/or strivings and attention bias to target stimuli would be significantly associated with dysmorphic concern. Method Fifty‐seven students recruited from an Australian university completed the dot‐probe task and self‐report measures for perfectionism and dysmorphic concern. Results Doubts about actions (perfectionistic concerns), or a perfectionistic need to check details, and attention bias towards the DC‐positive words (e.g., pretty, attractive, chiselled) predicted dysmorphic concern in men and women. Perfectionism predicted most of the variance. Conclusions Perfectionism and selective attention predicted dysmorphic concern, which may serve to inform the development of future dot‐probe paradigms and early intervention programs targeting at‐risk populations endorsing clinically significant dysmorphic concerns.

完美主义和选择性注意预测澳大利亚大学人群的畸形关注

摘要 目的 缺乏对导致畸形担忧的潜在病因机制的研究。在本研究中,我们使用多维完美主义测量和点探针任务,借用变形关注和身体变形障碍文献,评估完美主义亚型(即关注和努力)、对目标词的选择性注意之间的关联刺激(即 DC-body、DC-negative 和 DC-positive 词)和畸形关注。这是第一项同时检查这些预测因子并使用与畸形关注相关的探针和刺激来研究特定潜在选择性注意机制的研究。根据目前的理论,我们假设完美主义的关注和/或对目标刺激的追求和注意力偏差与畸形关注显着相关。方法 从澳大利亚大学招收的 57 名学生完成了针对完美主义和畸形担忧的点探任务和自我报告测量。结果 对行为的怀疑(完美主义的关注),或对检查细节的完美主义需要,以及对 DC 阳性词(例如,漂亮、有吸引力、轮廓分明)的注意力偏见预测了男性和女性的畸形关注。完美主义预测了大部分差异。结论 完美主义和选择性注意预示着畸形的关注,
