Multidimensional perfectionism — Dyadic coping — Relational coping — Perfectionism in a couple — Other-oriented perfectionism — Socially prescribed perfectionism — Self-oriented perfectionismAbstract
The objective of this review was to learn about studies of perfectionism and dyadic coping in adults and to analyze whether there is research that associates multidimensional perfectionism with dyadic coping in adults who are in a relationship.
This review included literature reviews that used psychometric instruments in experimental and quasi-experimental studies. Research conducted with samples of participants ranging in age from 18 to 78 years was also considered. The results suggest
that dimensions of perfectionism play a critical role in how couples cope with stress
and resolve conflicts. This provides evidence that depending on the dimension of
perfectionism that is highest, it can have mostly negative effects on dyadic coping.
Couples opt for negative strategies, increasing conflictive behaviors and not achieving adequate and positive coping in response to the difficulties. Understanding these
dynamics is essential to promoting healthy and satisfying relationships.
