CHEMISQUY, SONIA y OROS, LAURA BEATRIZ. Maladaptive Perfectionism as a Predictor of Loneliness and Low Perceived Social Support in Argentinean Children. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.2, pp.105-123. Epub 20-Oct-2020. ISSN 0121-5469. https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v29n2.78591.
This study aims to know whether maladaptive child perfectionism (in its Self-Oriented, Socially Prescribed, and Other-Oriented dimensions) predicts feelings of loneliness and the perception of social support and if these results change according to the sex of the children. A sample of 364 Argentine boys and girls, with ages between 9 and 12 years old, was selected (M =10.26; SD=1.08). The children were evaluated using psychological tests created or adapted to Argentina. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that maladaptive perfectionism predicts peers-related loneliness, the affinity for being alone, and low perceived social support. In addition, variations were found in the prediction patterns according to sex. Concluding, maladaptive perfectionism deteriorates the social life of children that could augment their vulnerability for negative outcomes.
