Abstract
We examined relational victimization as an explanatory pathway from perfectionism to anxiety in a high-risk sample of youth. Findings from path analysis indicated that adolescents’ perfectionistic concerns was associated with greater self-reported and mother-reported anxiety via greater relational victimization. These findings support the Perfectionism Social Disconnection Model in youth.
