AbstractObjectiveMethodsResultsConclusionsPerfectionism is associated with psychopathology and a wide array of negative outcomes. Individuals high in perfectionism have difficulty with motivation to change. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of motivational enhancement therapy (MET) for perfectionism and to pilot the feasibility of a brief, structured intervention.Using a wait-list-control design, 31 undergraduate and graduate students with elevated levels of perfectionism (self-oriented, other-oriented, or socially prescribed) were randomly assigned to immediate or wait-list control groups. Intervention included two individual sessions of MET aimed at decreasing perfectionism levels, as measured by the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. Qualitative analyses were performed on follow-up questions.Pre- and post- treatment analyses indicated significant decreases in self-oriented perfectionism and other-oriented perfectionism from baseline to post-treatment, with a non-significant downward trend in socially prescribed perfectionism.Findings provide preliminary support for MET as a feasible treatment for perfectionism in the college population.
