Adaptive Perfectionism

This study explores the mediating effects of repetitive negative thinking in the relationship between perfectionism and adolescent sleep quality. A sample of 1664 Chinese adolescents with a mean age of 15.0 years was recruited, and they completed four measures relating to perfectionism, sleep quality, worry, and rumination. The results showed that maladaptive perfectionism was positively correlated with poor sleep quality in adolescents, which was mediated by both worry and rumination. However, adaptive perfectionism was not significantly associated with adolescent sleep quality, and this relationship was suppressed by rumination (but not worry). The implications of these results are also discussed.

The Relationship

Many high-functioning individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) also experience depression and anxiety, yet little is known about mechanisms underlying this comorbidity. Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) about self-referential information is a transdiagnostic cognitive vulnerability factor that may account for the relationship between these two classes of symptoms. We propose a model where negative self-referential processing and cognitive inflexibility interact to increase risk for RNT, leading to internalizing problems in ASD. Examination of interactions within and between two well-characterized large-scale brain networks, the default mode network and the salience network, may provide insights into neurobiological mechanisms underlying RNT in ASD. We summarize previous literature supporting this model, emphasizing moving toward understanding RNT as a factor accounting for the high rates of internalizing problems in ASD. Future research avenues include understanding heterogeneity in clinical presentation and treating cognitive flexibility and RNT to reduce comorbid internalizing problems in ASD.

The Relationship

Objectives: Study 1 investigated if the elderly’s perception of experiencing life problems moderates the effect of spousal living arrangements on their mental health, while study 2 first assessed loneliness as a mediator on the spousal living arrangements and mental health relationship, and then tested 2 moderated-mediation models whereby perceived problems moderates the mediation. Methods: Study 1 involved 135 participants aged 60 years and above (mean = 70.96; SD = 6.16); Study 2 involved 122 participants aged 65 years and above (mean = 74.85; SD = 6.91). Results: This study found simple moderation and mediation effects of perceived problems and loneliness, respectively, on the spousal living arrangements and mental health relationship. Furthermore, results showed that perceived problems moderate the loneliness and mental health link in a moderated-mediation model. Discussion: Findings inform potential interventions for elderly mental health. Interventions could focus on reducing loneliness and problems faced by the elderly, especially those with nonspousal living arrangements.
