Structure and factorial invariance of a child perfectionism scale adapted for adolescents

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to obtain the psychometric properties of the Child perfectionism scale (Oros, 2003) adapted for adolescents, in 917 Peruvian adolescents, aged 13 to 18 years (M = 15.241, DT = 1.020). It was analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis, showing that the three-factor model had best parsimony with optimal fit indices (S-Bχ2/gl = 0.51; CFI =.95, SRMR =.056, RMSEA [IC 90%] =.055 [.049-.061]). Measurement invariance across sex was also evaluated. There was evidence of reliability and evidence of convergent validity regarding the Reynold Adolescent Depression Scale by means of Pearson's correlation and network analysis.
