This study aimed to assess the relationship between marital adjustment and the interpersonal nature of perfectionism. After controlling for depression and trait-anxiety, which were predicted to be linked with both marital adjustment and perfectionism, the relationship between marital adjustment / the dimensions of perfectionism (i.e. self-oriented perfectionism, other-oriented perfectionism, and socially prescribed perfectionism) / a specific aspect of perfectionism, perceived criticism (i.e. criticalness toward the spouse, and criticalness of the spouse) / and the related demographic variables (i.e., age, education level, length of marriage, and whether having child) were covered in a sample of 210 (105 female and 105 male) Turkish married individuals who are in their first marriage. The participants completed inventories on dyadic adjustment (Dyadic Adjustment Scale &ndash / DAS), perfectionism (Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale &ndash / MPS-H), perceived criticism (Perceived Criticism Measures &ndash / PCM), depression (Beck Depression Inventory &ndash / BDI), trait-anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - Trait Anxiety Form &ndash / STAI-T), and also a demographic information form. In order to analyze the data, hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted for females and males separately. Altogether, the results for females revealed that higher levels of socially prescribed perfectionism, higher levels of depression and trait-anxiety, and having child were associated with lower levels of marital adjustment. Besides, if the woman thinks her husband is critical of she, then her marital adjustment score decreases. Moreover, the results for males showed that higher levels of socially prescribed perfectionism, and higher levels of depression were found to be associated with lower levels of marital adjustment. Furthermore, if the man thinks he is critical of his wife, then his marital adjustment decreases. The findings, and their implications with suggestions for future research and practice, were discussed in the light of relevant literature.

本研究的目的是初步探索Wang等人(2012)的模式中各因子的生理基礎，在該模式當中，社會焦慮疾患與憂鬱疾患間的結構關係，可透過高負向情感因子、低正向情感因子、害怕負向評價因子與害怕正向評價因子良好說明，然目前主要研究發現多來自問卷法研究，本研究以靜息態磁振造影做為生理方面的初探工具，以功能聯結網絡找出與因子對應的生理佐證。本研究邀請共邀請50位大學生，其中有25位是高社會焦慮傾向者，另外25位則是低社會焦慮傾向者，每位參與者都須填寫問卷與接受約15分鐘的磁振造影掃描。本研究分別以杏仁核、腦島、依核與眶額葉皮質為種子區域形成的功能聯結網絡，結果發現高社會焦慮傾向組與低社會焦慮傾向組在四組功能聯結網絡均有顯著差異；進一步分析具差異的功能聯結與量表的關係，可觀察到與負向情感因子有關的聯結同時和社會焦慮傾向及憂鬱傾向達顯著正相關，與正向情感因子有關的聯結則同時和社會焦慮傾向及憂鬱傾向達顯著負相關；分別排除社會焦慮傾向與憂鬱傾向的影響後，仍可發現和害怕正向評價因子與害怕負向評價因子具顯著相關的功能聯結。本研究的發現顯示Wang等人(2012)的模式中各因子的確有對應的腦部功能聯結，可見該模式具有生理實質性，且可良好論述與釐清心理疾患間關係，然本研究受限於種子與參與者的選擇，無法呈現該模式中因子間的關係，未來可進一步採用作業態等方法，以利更加確立腦部功能聯結與模式中各因子的關係。
