    This study validated the internal, external, and reliability structures of the short, 8-item Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS-8) in 835 Portuguese students (aged 12–20, 53% girls). It also examined structural invariance by gender and age. Participants completed the CAPS-8 and measures related to school outcomes (teacher relationships, future expectations). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the two-factor model (selforiented, PAO; socially prescribed, PSP) with high internal consistency (Omega > .90) and invariant structure across groups. Correlations with school outcomes were small but significant: school ability was negatively associated with both dimensions, and school satisfaction and future expectations were positively associated with both. The CAPS-8 demonstrates adequate psychometric properties for the rapid assessment of perfectionism.

    O estudo objetivou validar a estrutura interna e externa e a confiabilidade de uma versão curta (CAPS-8) da Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS), investigando também sua invariância por gênero e idade em 835 estudantes portugueses (12 a 20 anos). A CAPS-8 e as medidas de desfechos escolares (relação com os professores, expectativa de futuro) foram aplicadas. Análises fatoriais confirmatórias (unigrupo e multigrupo) e correlações de Pearson indicaram elevada consistência interna (Ômega de McDonald > .90), bom ajuste ao modelo de dois fatores (PAO: perfeccionismo auto-orientado e PSP: perfeccionismo socialmente prescrito) e invariância por gênero e idade. As correlações entre perfeccionismo e desfechos escolares foram pequenas, mas significativas, destacando a associação negativa com a percepção de capacidade escolar e positiva com a satisfação com a escola e a expectativa de futuro. Conclui-se que a CAPS-8 possui propriedades psicométricas adequadas para avaliação rápida do perfeccionismo.
