Adaptation et évaluation des propriétés psychométriques de la sous-échelle de perfectionnisme orienté vers soi de l'Échelle de Perfectionnisme Positif et Négatif

Items measuring PPOS and PNOS have satisfactory psychometric properties. These two subscales are the first to be adapted and validated for French-speaking children, which take into account the positive and the negative function of self-oriented perfectionism. Perfectionism in children has limited scope in scientific literature and the lack of available instruments has been identified. Furthermore, knowing that perfectionism traits develop in childhood (DiBartolo et al., 2012), it would seem useful to make a measurement tool for children available. Thus, PPOS and PNOS subscales can be used in research to foster the understanding of perfectionism in children. A better understanding of perfectionism in this population could strengthen prevention efforts.
