Abstract
Tests of measurement invariance for the Short Almost Perfect Scale between Hungarian (N=590) and American (N=560) adolescents supported scalar invariance for Discrepancy (self-critical perfectionistic concerns) but only metric invariance for Standards (strivings). American adolescents were more self-critical than Hungarians. The perfectionism factors were more strongly linked for Hungarians than Americans.
