Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale

The perfectionism-scale">Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS) is a psychological tool used to measure different aspects of perfectionism in individuals. It recognizes that perfectionism can take various forms, including self-oriented perfectionism (setting high standards for oneself), socially prescribed perfectionism (feeling pressure to meet others’ expectations), and other-oriented perfectionism (holding others to high standards). By assessing these dimensions, the MPS helps researchers and clinicians understand how perfectionism affects a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and can be useful in identifying potential issues related to mental health, such as anxiety or depression.
