Abstract

We evaluated the psychometric equivalency of two perfectionism scales (SAPS and MPS) across U.S. and Italian samples. Results generally supported measurement invariance between countries for both scales. Additionally there was no evidence of gender- or age-related bias in responses. Only a small subset of items may function uniquely between countries.
