Enquadramento: Num mundo que valoriza a excelência e a autossuperação, o perfecionismo emerge como um traço de personalidade ambíguo, na sua relação com a saúde mental. Neste
contexto, surge a premissa de um possível papel mediador da Inteligência Emocional, capaz de explicar a dinâmica existente entre as tendências perfecionistas e a Saúde Mental. Objetivos:
Numa amostra portuguesa, avaliar a relação entre o Perfecionismo [Esforços Perfecionistas (EP) e Preocupações Perfecionistas (PP)] e a Saúde Mental [composta pelo Índice de Saúde Mental (ISM) e a Sintomatologia Obsessivo-compulsiva (SOC)], a moderação das
Preocupações Perfecionistas na relação entre os Esforços perfecionistas e a Saúde Mental e a mediação da Inteligência Emocional (IE) e das suas subdimenções, na relação entre o
Perfecionismo e a Saúde Mental. Método: A amostra foi constituída por 1535 participantes, com idades compreendidas entre 18 e 64 anos. De forma a avaliar as variáveis em estudo, utilizou-se a Almost Perfect Scale – Revised, a Versão Portuguesa da Escala de Inteligência Emocional de Wong e Law, o Inventário de Saúde Mental – 38 e o Obssessive-Compulsive Inventory – Revised. Resultados: Foram encontradas associações negativas entre os Esforços Perfecionistas e as Preocupações Perfecionistas e a Saúde Mental (ISM e SOC), com as
Preocupações Perfecionistas a mostraram-se a variável preditora mais significativa. As Preocupações Perfecionistas não se mostraram como moderadoras da relação entre os Esforços Perfecionistas e o Índice de Saúde Mental, mas moderaram, em níveis mais altos de Preocupações Perfecionistas, a relação entre os Esforços Perfecionistas e a Sintomatologia Obsessivo-compulsiva. A Inteligência Emocional e as suas subdimenções mostraram-se como variáveis mediadoras robustas na relação entre o Perfecionismo e a Saúde Mental. Conclusão: O Perfecionismo tem efeitos negativos na Saúde Mental e uma parte deste efeito pode ser mediado pela Inteligência Emocional.
Background: In a world that values excellence and self-improvement, perfectionism emerges as an ambiguous personality trait in its relationship with mental health. In this context, the premise arises of a possible mediating role for Emotional Intelligence, capable of explaining the dynamics that exist between perfectionist tendencies and Mental Health. Objectives: In a Portuguese sample, to evaluate the relationship between Perfectionism [Perfectionist Efforts (PE) and Perfectionist Concerns (PC)] and Mental Health [composed of the Mental Health Index (MHI) and Obsessive-Compulsive Symptomatology (OCS)], the moderation of Perfectionistic Concerns in the relationship between Perfectionistic Efforts and Mental Health, and the mediation of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and its sub-dimensions in the relationship between Perfectionism and Mental Health. Method: The sample consisted of 1535 participants aged between 18 and 64. The Almost Perfect Scale - Revised, the Portuguese version of Wong and Law's Emotional Intelligence Scale, the Mental Health Inventory - 38 and the ObsessiveCompulsive Inventory - Revised were used to assess the variables under study. Results: Negative associations were found between Perfectionistic Efforts and Perfectionistic Concerns in Mental Health (MHI and OCS) and Perfectionistic Concerns proved to be the most significant predictor variable in Mental Health (MHI and OCS). Perfectionistic Concerns were not shown to moderate the relationship between Perfectionistic Efforts and the Mental Health Index, but they did moderate, at higher levels of Perfectionistic Concerns, the relationship between Perfectionistic Efforts and Obsessive-Compulsive Symptomatology. Emotional Intelligence and its subdimensions proved to be robust mediating variables in the relationship between Perfectionism and Mental Health. Conclusion: Perfectionism has negative effects on Mental Health and part of this effect can be mediated by Emotional Intelligence
