ABSTRACT

The Almost Perfect Scale-Revised measures perfectionism using three subscales: Standards (i.e., expectations set by the self), Discrepancy (i.e., self-criticism related to not reaching these expectations or standards), and Order (i.e., tendency to appreciate orderliness). Measurement invariance was tested using undergraduate students from the Philippines (N = 487) and the United States (N = 396). Exploratory structural equation modelling models showed reasonable fit for a three-factor structure, and metric invariance was supported. Results suggest that we can trust comparison of correlation/regression coefficients across the two samples in addition to any comparisons between associations of predictors and various outcomes between the two samples.

摘要

几乎完美量表修订版使用三个子量表来衡量完美主义：标准（即，自我设定的期望），差异（即，与未达到这些期望或标准有关的自我批评）和秩序（即，倾向于有秩序的倾向） 。使用来自菲律宾（N  = 487）和美国（N  = 396）的本科生测试了测量不变性。探索性的结构方程建模模型显示出对三因素结构的合理拟合，并且支持度量不变性。结果表明，除了预测变量的关联与两个样本之间的各种结果之间的任何比较之外，我们可以相信两个样本之间的相关/回归系数的比较。
