    El presente estudio se propuso conocer si el perfeccionismo infantil desadaptativo (en sus dimensiones Auto-Orientado, Socialmente Prescrito y Orientado a Otros) predice los sentimientos de soledad y la percepción de apoyo social, y si estos resultados varían según el sexo de los menores. Se seleccionó una muestra intencional compuesta por 364 niños y niñas argentinos de entre 9 y 12 años (M=10.26; DE=1.08), quienes completaron pruebas psicológicas creadas o adaptadas al país de origen. Análisis de regresión lineal múltiple indicaron que el perfeccionismo desadaptativo predice la soledad en relación con los pares, la afinidad por la soledad y el escaso apoyo social percibido. Asimismo, se hallaron variaciones en los patrones de predicción según el sexo. Se concluye que el perfeccionismo desadaptativo deteriora la vida social de niños y niñas, lo que podría aumentar la vulnerabilidad para el desarrollo de desenlaces negativos. Cómo citar este artículo: Chemisquy, S. & Oros, L.B.

    Este estudo avaliou o impacto do perfeccionismo mal-adaptativo na vida social das crianças, analisando suas contribuições sobre a solidão e o apoio social percebido. Regressões lineares múltiplas foram realizadas para avaliar as relações diferenciais das dimensões do perfeccionismo mal-adaptativo (autoritário, socialmente prescrito e orientado a outros) e, em seguida, a repercussão do sexo dos menores nessas relações foi avaliada. Constatou-se que o perfeccionismo mal-adaptativo prediz a solidão em relação aos pares, a afinidade pela solidão e o pouco apoio social percebido; Em geral, as dimensões sociais do perfeccionismo tiveram mais impacto. Padrões diferenciais de interação entre as variáveis foram encontrados de acordo com o sexo das crianças. Estes resultados indicam que o perfeccionismo mal-adaptativo deteriora a vida social de meninos e meninas, o que poderia aumentar a vulnerabilidade para o desenvolvimento de resultados negativos; A criação de estratégias de prevenção e intervenção é um desafio para clínicos, pesquisadores e outros profissionais dedicados à saúde das crianças.

    This study aims to know whether maladaptive child perfectionism (in its Self-Oriented, Socially Prescribed, and Other- Oriented dimensions) predicts feelings of loneliness and the perception of social support and if these results change according to the sex of the children. A sample of 364 Argentine boys and girls, with ages between 9 and 12 years old, was selected (m =10.26; sd=1.08). The children were evaluated using psychological tests created or adapted to Argentina. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that maladaptive perfectionism predicts peers-related loneliness, the affinity for being alone, and low perceived social support. In addition, variations were found in the prediction patterns according to sex. Concluding, maladaptive perfectionism deteriorates the social life of children that could augment their vulnerability for negative outcomes. How to cite: Chemisquy, S. & Oros, L.B. (2020).
