Abstract in brief
- The study investigates whether perfectionism leads to depression, results from depression, or both, by analyzing 67 longitudinal studies and finding that perfectionistic concerns and depressive symptoms influence each other reciprocally, while perfectionistic strivings mainly serve as a vulnerability factor.
- The research highlights that perfectionistic concerns predict future depressive symptoms and vice versa, whereas perfectionistic strivings primarily increase vulnerability to depression without being affected by depressive symptoms, suggesting different roles for these perfectionism components.
- Clinicians should consider the complex, reciprocal relationship between perfectionistic concerns and depression when diagnosing and treating patients, and distinguish perfectionistic strivings as a potential personality vulnerability that may contribute to depression risk.
