The Mediating Role of Ego Strength in the Effects of Dimensions of Perfectionism on Anxiety Symptoms
Abstract:
Perfectionism as a multidimensional personality trait is related to anxiety symptoms. There are many factors that could affect the relationship between dimensions of perfectionism and anxiety symptoms. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of ego strength on the relationship between dimensions of perfectionism and anxiety symptoms. Two hundred and sixty eight students (144 females, 124 males) from the University of Tehran participated in this study. All Participants were asked to complete Tehran Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (TMPS), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), and Ego Strength Scale (ESS).The results revealed that there was significant positive and negative association between other-oriented/socially prescribed perfectionism and self-oriented perfectionism with anxiety symptoms, respectively. There was a significant negative association between ego strength and anxiety symptoms. The relationship between dimensions of perfectionism and anxiety symptoms was mediated by ego strength. According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that the relationship between dimensions of perfectionism and anxiety symptoms is not a linear and one dimensional correlation. Ego strength can play a meditational role between the two.
