Abstract
This study was launched to construct a scale for the measurement of perfecticinism. Using factor analyis, a scale entitled Ahvaz Perfectionism Scale (APS) was constructed, and its test-retest and internal consistency reliability coefficients were found to be statistically significant: Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale, Type A Questionnaire (TAQ; a scale tapping type A behavioral pattern) and physical complaints subscale of SCL9O-R. The results sho that female subjects score significantly higher than male subjects on APS. According to the present findings, APS appears to be a reliable and valid instrument which could be widely used in the future psychological studies and research projects.
