The present study examined perfectionism from a self-regulation conceptual framework. Perfectionism was defined in this study as tendencies or patterns of cognitions, emotions, and behaviors based on the beliefs that one's self worth is dependent upon "perfect" performance and that performance can be categorized only as a total success or a total failure. The present study examined how individual differences in perfectionism influence response to negative versus neutral feedback on a bogus intelligence task. Participants included 239 undergraduate and graduate students. Using the Brief Perfectionism Scale (BPS, Gosselin, Boone, Sinek, & Tangney, 2002), perfectionists were divided into High, Moderate, and Low Perfectionism groups. Participants completed a computerized bogus word task and were randomly assigned to negative or neutral feedback conditions. Participants' responses to the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS, Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988) and their response to a task-specific self-efficacy item were compared at pre-task and post-task. The primary hypothesis stated that High Perfectionists would report a greater increase in negative affect and a greater decrease in self-efficacy in response to negative feedback than the other perfectionism groups. Results using a Repeated Measures MANOVA demonstrated no difference in affect between the perfectionism groups, refuting the first part of that hypothesis. Unexpectedly, the Low Perfectionism group demonstrated the greatest decrease in self-efficacy in response to negative feedback, while the High Perfectionism group did not show a significant change in self-efficacy from pre-task to post-task. The implications of these findings are discussed, including the possibility that perfectionists are more likely to attend to self-generated feedback than external feedback, as well as the possibility that perfectionists responded to the self-efficacy question in terms of setting a goal for the task, rather than reporting their beliefs about their performance abilities. Future directions for perfectionism research are discussed, including the use of experimental, rather than correlational, research to examine perfectionism, as well as cognitive, schematic, affective, and developmental aspects of perfectionism to be examined.
