Abstract

Perfectionism is a personality trait characterized by the self-imposition of unrealistic standards of performance, the motivation to be a perfectionist and the perception of the environment as too demanding and critical. The aim of this study was to analyze the scientific literature on perfectionism in children and adolescents. The documents were collected from 4 databases (Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO and Education Resources Information Center), limiting the period between 2004 and 2014. These 325 documents were analyzed with different bibliometric indicators such as the analysis of the temporal productivity, the most productive journals and authors, and the co-authored index, as well as an examination and discussion of the population characteristic, the main instruments used, and the issues identified. It was found a tendency to develop collaborative work and a considerable number of big producers (Gordon L. Flett, Paul L. Hewitt, Andrew P. Hill y Bart Soenens). The Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale and the Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale were the most used instruments to assess perfectionism in children and adolescents. Likewise, there were more studies in adolescents than in children. It was observed that most of the documents analyzed focused on examine the relationship between perfectionism and psychopathology. Finally, the main identified issues are discussed, found limitations and consolidated areas, serving as a reference for future studies on the field of perfectionism during childhood and adolescence.
