The Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale

The perfectionism-scale">Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS) is a psychological tool used to measure different aspects of perfectionism in individuals. Unlike traditional views that see perfectionism as a single trait, the MPS identifies multiple dimensions, such as self-oriented perfectionism (setting high standards for oneself), other-oriented perfectionism (having high expectations of others), and socially prescribed perfectionism (feeling pressure to meet others' expectations). By assessing these various dimensions, the MPS helps researchers and clinicians understand how perfectionism affects mental health, motivation, and behavior, providing insights for more personalized interventions.
