ABSTRACT
This study analyzed the association of adaptive and maladaptive dimensions of perfectionism
in women with eating disorders (ED), risk of ED, and inherent features of ED. The
sample included 246 women aged between 13 and 19 years divided into three groups: with ED
(
n = 59), in risk of ED (
n = 17), and without ED or risk (
n131-141 = 170); for group assignation participants
were interviewed with the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE). Participants completed
the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI-3) and the Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R). According
to the models that state the existence of two well defined dimensions of perfectionism, adolescents
in risk of ED and with ED got higher scores in Discrepancy (maladaptive dimension), but
not in High standards (adaptive dimension). Besides positive associations were found between
Discrepancy and all scales of EDI-3, except for Maturity fears; however also in the ED group positive
associations were found between High standards and Order with Drive for thinness, result
that do not allow to confirm the adaptive value of these two latter dimensions of perfectionism
among adolescents with ED.
