Background
Previous research has indicated that perfectionism traits demonstrate close associations with EFs, and their association patterns differ among individuals. However, there is a lack of research examining these from the perspective of heterogeneity and examined different aspects of EFs.
Aims
Based on the heterogeneity of perfectionism, we examined the individual differences of rating-based Executive Functions (EFs) in typical daily life and task-based EFs in optimal situation after performance-feedback.
Sample(s) and methods
In Study 1, 1230 college students completed self-reported rating scales of perfectionism and rating-based EFs. In Study 2, we manipulated multiple success and failure feedback in the laboratory and then recorded performance of task-based EFs of 196 participants.
Results
Latent profile analysis identified four distinct perfectionism profiles, named non-perfectionism, concerned-perfectionism, strived-perfectionism, and mixed-perfectionism. And they exhibit individual differences in rating-based EFs. Additionally, results indicated significant individual differences in task-based inhibitory control (IC) and cognitive flexibility (CF), whereas no significant individual differences existed in working memory (WM). Repeated failure feedback enhanced IC of concerned-perfectionists and strived-perfectionists, both repeated success feedback and failure feedback enhanced the CF of four perfectionism profiles.
Conclusions
These results reveal individual differences in different aspects of EFs across perfectionism profiles, as well as the potential of performance feedback in facilitating EFs.
