Abstract
La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo principal analizar la relación entre las
dimensiones de perfeccionismo y las estrategias cognitivas de regulación emocional en una
muestra de 289 estudiantes de una universidad privada de Lima Metropolitana. Para ello, se
contó con la participación de 195 mujeres (67.5%) y 94 hombres (32.5%) con edades entre
los 18 y 30 años (M = 21.18; DE = 1.91), pertenecientes a las carreras de Psicología
(29.4%), Gestión y Alta Dirección (34.3%), y Derecho (36.3%). Los instrumentos
utilizados fueron la adaptación española de la Escala Multidimensional de Perfeccionismo
(MPS) (Rodríguez et al., 2009) y la adaptación peruana del Cuestionario de Regulación
Cognitiva de las Emociones (CERQ) (Domínguez & Medrano, 2016). Se encontró que las
dimensiones de perfeccionismo auto-orientado y perfeccionismo socialmente prescrito se
relacionaron de manera significativa y directa con las estrategias de autoculparse,
rumiación, catastrofización y culpar a otros, y de forma inversa con las estrategias de
reinterpretación positiva y focalización positiva. Además, solo la dimensión de
perfeccionismo socialmente prescrito se relacionó negativamente con la estrategia de
refocalización en planes. En cuanto a la dimensión de perfeccionismo orientado a los
demás, se halló una asociación significativa y directa con la estrategia de refocalización en
planes. Finalmente, se encontraron diferencias significativas según algunas variables
sociodemográficas y académicas consideradas. Se discuten los hallazgos, así como las
limitaciones del estudio y las futuras líneas de investigación a seguir.
The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between the dimensions of perfectionism and the cognitive emotion regulation strategies on a sample of 289 students from a private university in Lima. For this purpose, 195 women (67.5%) and 94 men (32.5%) between the ages of 18 and 30 (M = 21.18; DE = 1.91), who belonged to the faculties of Psychology (29.4%), Management (34.3%), and Law (36.3%), participated. The spanish version of the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS) (Rodríguez et al., 2009) and the peruvian adaptation of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) (Domínguez & Medrano, 2016) were used for the measurement. The dimensions of self-oriented perfectionism and socially prescribed perfectionism were significantly and positively related to the strategies of self-blaming, rumination, catastrophizing and blaming others, and negatively related to positive reappraisal and positive refocusing. In addition, only the socially prescribed perfectionism was negatively related to the refocus on planning strategy. Regarding the other-oriented perfectionism dimension, it was found a significant and positive relationship with the refocus on planning tendency. Finally, there were significant differences according to some sociodemographic and academic variables. The possible explanations of these findings are discussed, as well as the limitations of the present study and the future lines of research to follow.
