Aslı Uz Baş; Diğdem Müge SİYEZ

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to adapt the Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale in Turkish and to investigate the validity and the reliability of the scale in a sample of 459 children and adolescents. The results of the principal component analysis, consistent with the original factor structure, yielded two-factor solution: Self-oriented perfectionism and socially prescribed perfectionism. This factor structure was supported by the confirmatory factor analysis. As evidence of convergent validity, socially prescribed perfectionism was positively correlated with depression. In addition, both subscales were significantly correlated with the subscales of the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. The findings of reliability analysis were indicated that the Turkish version of the Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale was a reliable instrument to measure perfectionism among children and adolescennts.

Key words: perfectionism, validtiy, reliability, Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale
