This research studied the predictive power of perfectionism (from the perspective of Frost et al., 1990) and some demographic variables on the different stress coping styles (according to the model described by Roger et al., 1993) in adults from Venezuela. The design was cross-sectional predictive. Participants were 510 Venezuelans, 79.2 % women and 20.8 % men, with an average age of 42.76 years (+/− 12.73), mostly residents of the interior of the country (72.2 %), with university education (70.6 %), and paid work (75.7 %). The instruments used were adapted versions of the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale and the Coping Style Questionnaire. Rational coping (the most used by the participants) was predicted by personal standards, organization, parental expectations, low levels of fear of mistakes, and being male. Emotional coping (the least used) was predicted by fear of mistakes, a ...

The present research aimed to examine whether perfectionism and some demographic variables can predict levels of resilience (and their dimensions) in adults from Venezuela. The design was cross-sectional predictive, through logistic regression analysis. Participants were 313 Venezuelan mature adults (M = 46.44 years), mostly women (82.7%), residents of the interior of the country (70.9%), with higher education (64.2%), and paid employment (67.9%). An adapted version of the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (Frost et al., 1990) and the Resilience Scale for Adults (Hernández y Lezama, 2016) was applied via Google Forms. Organization was a positive predictor of resilience and two of its dimensions (OR = 1.13 - 1.27), while fear of mistakes was a negative predictor of resilience and “morality and values” (OR = 0.96). Personal standards positively predicted“perseverance and hope” ...
