Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the predictive capacity of affect on high scores on Socially Prescribed Perfectionism (SPP) during childhood. A sample of 462 Spanish Primary school students between 8 and 11 years old, 50.08% of whom were males, was used. The Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS) and the 10-item Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children (10-item PANAS-C) to evaluate, respectively, the SPP and the positive and negative affect, were utilized. The logistic regression analysis results revealed that both Positive and Negative Affect predicted significantly higher levels of SPP, with OR values of 1.03 and 1.10. The results partially supported the hypotheses, stating that during childhood, unlike during adulthood, the SPP is significantly and positively associated with both two types of affect. However, it became clear that this association was much stronger in the case of Negative Affect.
