THE METACOGNITIONS ABOUT PERFECTIONISM SCALE (MAPS)

Developed by Eileen and her colleagues (Seah et al., manuscript in preparation), this questionnaire measures metacognitions about perfectionism. It can be utilised by researchers and clinicians to ascertain positive and negative metacognitive beliefs about perfectionism. A copy of the MAPS and scoring instructions will be made available when the article on the psychometric evaluation of the measure is published.
