Résumé
Le perfectionnisme est conceptualisé à l’aide de deux dimensions, la recherche de hauts standards et les préoccupations perfectionnistes. Il est encore difficile de statuer clairement si la recherche de hauts standards est associée à un meilleur fonctionnement que les préoccupations perfectionnistes. Une faible flexibilité cognitive est associée au perfectionnisme ainsi qu’à un moins bon fonctionnement. Cette étude examine le rôle médiateur de la flexibilité dans la relation entre le perfectionnisme et le fonctionnement psychologique. Les résultats suggèrent que la flexibilité joue un rôle différent dans le fonctionnement psychologique des personnes selon leurs tendances sur les deux dimensions perfectionnistes.

Abstract
Perfectionism is conceptualized by considering two dimensions, perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns. It is still difficult to clearly determine if perfectionistic strivings are associated to a better psychological functioning than perfectionistic concerns. Low cognitive flexibility is associated with perfectionism and lower functioning. This study investigates the role that flexibility plays in the relationship between perfectionism and psychological functioning. The results suggest that flexibility plays a different role in the psychological functioning of people depending on their perfectionistic tendencies along the two dimensions.
