Description
Summary:A latent class analysis of dyadic perfectionism scores within a college sample (N = 369) identified four classes of participants. Controlling for gender and current dating status, class membership was associated with significant differences on several measures of relationship attitudes. Gender and class membership also significantly interacted in predicting gender role stress scores. Implications of the findings for the counseling of relationally perfectionistic college students are discussed.
