Abstract
Preliminary research suggests that maladaptive perfectionism impedes the development of self-compassion, a self-attitude with numerous biopsychosocial benefits (MacBeth and Gumley, 2012; Neff and Knox, 2017). The precise relationship between these constructs remains unclear, but if accurately modelled could foster an understanding of the barriers that perfectionists experience to being self-compassionate, enabling focused interventions to be developed. This general population study (N=428) used structural equation modelling to investigate how multidimensional perfectionism related to multidimensional self-compassion. The negative perfectionism dimensions of Concern over mistakes and Discrepancy significantly predicted lower levels of overall self-compassion and its positive dimensions of Self-kindness, Common humanity and Mindfulness. Findings were discussed in relation to the development of population-tailored, dual-focused, interventions aimed at reducing perfectionism and increasing self-compassion.
