Abstract

This article describes the development of the Almost Perfect Scale—Revised (APS—R). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and data exploring the reliability and construct validity of the subscales are provided. The results support the existence of 3 subscales with adequate internal consistencies and promising relationships with other relevant measures.
