This article describes the development of the Adaptive/Maldaptive Perfectionism Scale (AMPS) for children. Expert reviewers and 3 samples of 4th-and 5th-grade students were used to develop items and evaluate the internal structure and reliability of scores for the resulting instrument. The results supported 4 dimensions of perfectionism that could be reliably assessed by the AMPS: Sensitivity to Mistakes, Contingent Self-Esteem, Compulsiveness, and Need for Admiration.
