• Review of the Theoretical, Empirical, and Clinical Status of Adaptive and Maladaptive Perfectionism (2013, background): “…perfectionistic cognitions are purported as being more likely to experience negative affect in the form of depression about perceived failure to have met expected standards in the past, and in the form of anxiety about fear of failing to meet expected standards in the future (Flett et al., 2002).”
• The Perfectionism Cognitions Inventory: Psychometric Properties and Associations with Distress and Deficits in Cognitive Self-management (2007, unknown): “More recently, Flett, Madorsky, Hewitt, and Heisel (2002) administered the PCI to a sample of 65 university students and showed that perfectionism cognitions were associated with the experience of intrusive cognitions following a stressful event and with the ruminative response style that contribu”
• Adaptive and Maladaptive Aspects of Self-Oriented versus Socially Prescribed Perfectionism (2005, methodology): “Variables were chosen in order to both map onto existing literature (Chang, 1998; Dean et al., 1996; Fee & Tangney, 2000; Flett et al., 1991, 1992, 1995, 1998; Hewitt et al., 1996; Hewitt & Flett, 1991a, 1993; Mills & Blankstein, 2000) and to extend what is known about the two types of…”
• Perfectionism and psychological distress: evidence of the mediating effects of rumination (2007, background): “These latter findings are unsurprising and are similar to Flett et al.

• Rethinking Rumination (2008, background): “…over and above its relationship to negative cognitive styles and continues to be related to depression after statistically controlling for neuroticism, pessimism, perfectionism, and several other negative cognitive styles (Flett et al., 2002; Nolen-Hoeksema et al., 1994; Spasojevic & Alloy, 2001).”
• Perfectionism and burnout in junior elite soccer players: The mediating influence of unconditional self-acceptance (2008, methodology): “Research conducted by Frost and Henderson (1991), and later by Hall et al. (1998) has demonstrated that a combination of external standards and a preoccupation with self-definition amongst perfectionists underpins the development of maladaptive achievement-related cognitions and elevated levels of c”
• Perfectionism and Deficits in Cognitive Emotion Regulation (2007, background): “Furthermore, an association has been found between the frequency of automatic perfectionistic thoughts and indices of depression and anxiety (Flett et al., 1998; Flett, Madorsky, Hewitt, & Heisel, 2002 ).”
• Perfectionism, Cognition, and Affect in Response to Performance Failure vs. Success (2004, background): “Given that perfectionism is also linked with the ruminative response style identified by Nolen-Hoeksema (1991) as central to the persistence of depression (see Flett, Madorsky, Hewitt, & Heisel, 2002 ), it follows that perfectionists who experience failure feedback and attempt a difficult task shou”
