Abstract	Although studies examining multidimensional perfectionism among adolescents have increased over the past two decades, most continue to focus on psychological outcomes such as anxiety or depression. The purpose of this study was to examine two social outcomes that may differ among perfectionistic subtypes: "social perspective taking" (i.e., the ability to judge a situation from the perspective of another person) and "social agency" (i.e., the motivation to connect with others). Latent profile analysis was used to classify more than 700 high school adolescents into adaptive perfectionists (high standards, low self-criticism), maladaptive perfectionists (high standards, high self-criticism), and nonperfectionists (comparatively low standards). Results revealed significant mean score differences with respect to social perspective taking, with higher scores among both adaptive and maladaptive perfectionists than nonperfectionists. No mean score differences were found with respect to social agency. Implications of these findings, as well suggestions for future research, conclude the article. (As Provided).
