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” (OR = 1.12), and negatively “morality and values” (OR = 0.90). Age was the only demographic variable that predicted resilience (OR = 1.03 - 1.06). Based on these findings, the complex role of perfectionism in predicting resilience is highlighted, certain clinical implications are discussed, and some recommendations are put forward.
