Description: Different theoretical accounts assume that perfectionistic concerns involve an avoidance orientation (Slade & Owens, 1998) and hypervigilant monitoring of possible errors during work and performance (e.g., Shafran, Cooper, & Fairburn, 2002). From a self-control perspective, constant hypervigilance with respect to making mistakes should drain those resources of the self that are needed for self-regulation (Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Muraven, & Tice, 1998). Focusing on procrastination, considered as a break-down of self-control (Tangney, Baumeister, & Boone, 2004), the present project examines whether perfectionistic concerns are related to reduced daily self-control considering also conflicting desires (temptations) and control (resistance to temptations). Additionally, two opposing predictions about the moderating effect of perfectionistic strivings on the relation between self-control and perfectionistic concerns based on the tripartite (Stoeber & Otto, 2006) respectively 2x2 model of perfectionism (Gaudreau & Thompson, 2010; Stoeber, 2012) will be tested.
This project is part of a larger project ("Perfectionism in an achievement context: The role of self-regulation processes"). Detailed information on the design and the measures can be found at the entry for the larger project, see osf.io/t8bn9
