This study examined differences among types of perfectionism, investigated psychological characteristics of each perfectionism group, and examined the role of attribution and coping styles in the relation between adaptive perfectionism(maladaptive perfectionism) and positive affect( negative affect). 606 undergraduate students completed Hewitt’s Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, Frost’s Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, CES-D (Center For Epidemological Studies Depression Scale), MAACL (The Multiple Affect Adjective Check List), and measures of attributional styles and coping styles. The results showed that first, factor analysis of Hewitt’s Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale and Frost’s Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale yielded two factors, adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism. Second, using by factor score, four groups were divided: adaptive perfectionism, maladaptive perfectionism, mixed perfectionism(adaptive mixed with maladaptive), non-perfectionism group. Maladaptive perfectionists and mixed perfectionists were inclined to attribute negative events to internal*uncontrollable, stable, global attributions (negative attribution) and to have more passive coping styles, negative affect than adaptive and non-perfectionists. Adaptive and non-perfectionists were inclined highly to make internal*controllable attribution for negative events, and to have more active coping styles, positive affect than maladaptive and mixed perfectionists. Lastly, path analysis revealed that adaptive perfectionism was mediated with positive affect by internality*controllable attributional style and active coping styles, maladaptive perfectionism was mediated with negative affect by internal*uncontrollable, stable, global attributional styles and passive coping styles.
