Maladaptive perfectionism has a documented association with mental health problems, yet the context of maladaptive perfectionism (i.e., the domain where individuals exhibit such a trait) is rarely considered. This study aimed to develop a measure for academic perfectionism among college students and assess its psychometric properties. Five hundred and thirty-two college students were recruited from introductory-level psychology courses and completed questionnaires online. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses determined the factor structure and model fit of the scale, and bivariate correlation and multiple regression analyses assessed the validity of the scale. The results suggested that the College Academic Perfectionism Scale consists of two higher order factors, rigid academic perfectionism and self-critical academic perfectionism, and self-critical academic perfectionism consists of three sub-factors, academic self-criticism, doubts about actions, and socially prescribed academic perfectionism. The scale has an adequate confirmatory model fit, excellent reliability, and high construct validity. Incremental validity over general perfectionism was established.

适应不良完美主义与心理健康问题有记录的关联，但很少考虑适应不良完美主义的背景（即个人表现出这种特质的领域）。本研究旨在开发一种衡量大学生学术完美主义的方法并评估其心理测量特性。从入门级心理学课程中招募了 532 名大学生，并在线完成了问卷调查。探索性和验证性因素分析确定了量表的因素结构和模型拟合，双变量相关和多元回归分析评估了量表的有效性。结果表明，大学学术完美主义量表由两个高阶因素组成，刚性学术完美主义和自我批评的学术完美主义，自我批评的学术完美主义由三个子因素组成，学术 自我批评、对行为的怀疑和社会规定的学术完美主义。该量表具有足够的验证模型拟合、出色的信度和较高的结构效度。建立了对一般完美主义的增量有效性。
