Article Synopsis
  • Perfectionism is identified as a common risk factor for various mental health issues, and the Clinical Perfectionism Questionnaire (CPQ) was developed to track changes in clinical settings, but its effectiveness with adolescents hasn't been tested until now.
  • This study aimed to evaluate the CPQ's factor structure and validity specifically in female adolescents, utilizing a sample of 267 girls aged 14-19 and applying confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess its models.
  • Results confirmed that the CPQ has strong internal consistency and construct validity, validating a two-factor model that distinguishes between perfectionistic strivings and concerns, making it a useful tool for future research on perfectionism's impact on mental health in youth.
