Using the Chinese Version of Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale to Identify the Psychometrics Properties and Typology of Perfectionism among Gifted Junior High School Students
Min-Ying Tsai
SAGE Open, v14 n4 2024
The study aimed to explore the Chinese version of the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale suitable for gifted junior high school students and to classify the types of perfectionism. The Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale was translated into Chinese to evaluate the factor structure and typology of academically gifted students in Taiwan. The exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure with 31 items in a 212 junior high school student sample. The validation study included a total of 498 academically gifted students. Factor analyses produced three rather than the six previously predicted factors. With some modifications, confirmatory factor analysis and accepted composite reliability supported the same three-factor structure. The study used 18 items to validate the three-structure and discovered three types of perfectionists: healthy, unhealthy, and non-perfectionist. The study supported the tool's effectiveness in determining the state and typology of perfectionism in gifted students.
