However, there are two caveats. First, self-oriented perfectionism as measured with the MPS and CAPS, which is an indicator of perfectionistic strivings, has been associated with disordered eating in adolescents, even when the influence of perfectionistic concerns is controlled for (McVey, Pepler, Davis, Flett, & Abdolell, 2002; Miller-Day & Marks, 2006). Moreover, the MPS and CAPS scale measuring self-oriented perfectionism not only contains items that capture perfectionistic strivings, but also items that capture beliefs that it is important to be perfect (Campbell & Di Paula, 2002; Stoeber & Childs, in press) and items that capture self-criticism (McCreary, Joiner, Schmith, & Ialongo, 2004; O’Connor, Dixon, & Rasmussen, in press). Because only perfectionistic strivings are associated with subjective well-being and psychological adjustment (whereas importance of being perfect is not) and because self-criticism is associated psychological maladjustment and disorder, some studies have found that self-oriented perfectionism was associated with psychological maladjustment and disorder in adolescents (e.g., Einstein et al., 2000; Hewitt et al., 2002)
