Abstract

Since 1989, perfectionists and mental disorders have increased simultaneously. With the development of the internet, they have easy access to more dimensions of information, which leads to more aspects of themselves that people can criticize and criticize by others in a rigorous evaluation. The present review organizes that each type of perfectionism that appears in the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale is specifically associated with a mental disorder, and how other factors that integrate with perfectionism traits can negatively promote mental disorders. For instance, self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism promote depression and eating disorder by either focusing on or criticizing only flawed parts of oneself. Also, the other-oriented perfection is particularly related to narcissistic personality disorder because of the similarity such that both traits lead to focus more on themselves. For the limitation, previous research has frequently mentioned the study population’s choice. Most research examines experiments on a sample with the following characteristics: Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (W.E.I.R.D.), which did not illustrate the cultural generality and human universals. A comprehensive and diverse sample is needed for future research to avoid one-sidedness.
