To investigate the relationship between perfectionism and locus of control, the researchers administered measures of multidimensional perfectionism and locus of control to two hundred and sixty-two undergraduate students. The researchers found that adaptive perfectionists and maladaptive perfectionists had significantly higher internal locus of control scores than non-perfectionists and that maladaptive perfectionists had significantly higher external locus of control-powerful others than both adaptive perfectionists and non-perfectionists.
