| Abstract: | The present study assessed the effectiveness of a web-based psycho-educational intervention protocol for decreasing levels
of perfectionism and psychological distress. Different levels of therapeutic intervention (no treatment, general stress management
intervention, general stress management intervention plus cognitive behavioral intervention) were provided to perfectionistic
participants over a 10-week period. It was found via a longitudinal structural equation model that higher levels of therapeutic
intervention predicted greater improvements in perfectionism and psychological distress. Further, amount of improvement in
trait perfectionism and perfectionistic automatic thoughts was highly related to amount of improvement in psychological distress.
The findings attest to the potential usefulness of a web-based intervention that combines a general stress management intervention
with a cognitive behavioral intervention. |
