Perfectionism is a personality characteristic that has been explored for its implications in mental health; reviews and meta-analyses were conducted to synthesize research findings. This study systemically synthesizes the perfectionism literature using a text-mining approach. Co-word analysis and Dirichlet Multinomial Regression topic modeling were performed on a total of 1,529 perfectionism abstracts published from 1990 to 2019. Analysis revealed that perfectionism research is closely connected with “disorder,” with “symptom” being the most frequently addressed issue. Topic-modeling results found a total of 15 topics represented perfectionism research of the past three decades. Most articles were published in psychology journals, with social and clinical psychology subdisciplines publishing perfectionism articles most frequently. There were overlaps in research topics by journal subdisciplines, while differences were also observed. This study provides a panoramic view of perfectionism literature and highlights frequently and infrequently explored areas that could be considered in future research endeavors.

完美主义是一种人格特征，因其对心理健康的影响而被探索。进行了审查和荟萃分析以综合研究结果。本研究使用文本挖掘方法系统地综合了完美主义文献。共词分析和狄利克雷多项回归主题建模对 1990 年至 2019 年发表的 1,529 篇完美主义摘要进行了分析。分析表明，完美主义研究与“障碍”密切相关，“症状”是最常被提及的问题。主题建模结果发现，共有 15 个主题代表了过去 30 年的完美主义研究。大多数文章发表在心理学期刊上，社会和临床心理学子学科最常发表完美主义文章。期刊子学科的研究主题存在重叠，同时也观察到差异。本研究提供了完美主义文献的全景视图，并突出了可以在未来研究工作中考虑的经常和不常探索的领域。
