Abstract

In the present research, the objective was to obtain the reliability and evidence of validity of the Abbreviated Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale in the Mexican population. To achieve this objective, an instrumental study was carried out through the application of the Abbreviated Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale to a population of 539 participants from the state of Durango, in Mexico. The results indicate an adequate level of reliability and a three-factor structure that coincides with the original and was derived from the Exploratory Factor Analysis; This structure, when subjected to Confirmatory Factor Analysis, shows eight adequate fit indices, with the exception of the ECVI, PNFI and p values of the chi square, which would generally indicate an adequate fit of the model. It is concluded that further studies are needed in this regard.
