Abstract: (899 Views)

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the moderating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on the relationship between perfectionism dimensions and mental health indices. A total of 510 individuals (381 men, 126 women) participated in the study. Participants were asked to complete the Mental Health Inventory-28 (Veit & Ware, 1983), Tehran Multiple Perfectionism Scale (Besharat, 2007), and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006). Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Hierarchical Linear Regression were used to analyze the data. The result showed that perfectionism in all dimensions (self-oriented, other-oriented, socially-prescribed) had a significant negative association with mental well-being and a significant positive association with mental distress (p<0.01). In addition to this, adaptive emotion regulation strategies had a significant positive association with mental well-being and a significant negative association with mental distress but for maladaptive emotion regulation strategies, this relation was reversed (p<0.01). Results also revealed that the relationship between dimensions of perfectionism with mental health indices was merely moderated by maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (p<0.05). According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the relationship between perfectionism dimensions and mental health indices is not a simple linear one, but this relationship can be moderated by other variables such as maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies.
