Have been developed in recent years. however, no vali- dated german aps-r and saps versions exist, although the german population has been commonly associated with heightened perfectionistic tendencies (haller et al., 2019 ; schroll-machl, 2016 ). a second notable gap in the empirical literature is that previous work into the aps-r and saps nomological networks (i.e., the system of rela- tions with other constructs needed to establish construct validity; cronbach & meehl 1955 ) has been limited to trait-level measures, such as the big five personality traits (for meta-analyses, see smith et al., ; stricker et al., 2019a ). although the five factor model (ffm) generally provides a suitable framework for describing other person- ality traits (e.g., ozer & reise 1994 ), facet-level analyses are required to understand maladaptive personality charac- teristics adequately (e.g., samuel & widiger 2008 ). insights into the relations of the aps-r and saps subscales with narrower personality facets are needed to reveal which spe- cific behavioral, emotional, and cognitive tendencies these scales assess (for previous work on facet-level relations of other perfectionism measures, see dunkley et al., 2012 ). to address the aforementioned research gaps, the present study added to the validation of the aps-r and saps in two ways. first, we evaluated the factor structure and validity of perfectionism is a multidimensional personality disposi- tion characterized by excessively high standards for oneself coupled with harsh self-evaluations (flett & hewitt, 2002 the almost perfect scale-revised (aps-r; slaney et al., 2001 ) and its short form, the short almost perfect scale (saps, rice et al., 2014 ), are among the best-established perfectionism measures. both scales have been used in vari- ous populations to investigate the nature and consequences of multidimensional perfectionism (see, e.g., smith et al., , 2021 ). however, to date, research using the aps-r and saps is limited in at least two significant ways. first, most research using the aps-r and saps has been con- ducted in english-speaking, predominantly north american populations. to increase the generalizability of perfection- ism research, different translations of the aps-r and saps
