The big three perfectionism scales: A psychometric characterization of a Chinese music student population.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPerfectionism as a multidimensional personality trait, is closely related to many important factors affecting mental, emotional, and daily life, and thus has received extensive attention from researchers around the world. The Big Three Perfectionism Scale (BTPS) is a widely recognized tool in global research, providing a comprehensive framework for assessing perfectionism through three higher-order factors and ten dimensions.
objectivesThis study aims to translate and validate the BTPS in the context of music student population in mainland China, assessing its cross-cultural reliability and psychometric properties to ensure its applicability within this specific population.
methodsThis study evaluated the factor structure, convergent validity, predictive validity, and overall validity of the Chinese version of the BTPS. The methodology involved translating the BTPS into Chinese and conducting cross-cultural validation through experiments with a substantial sample of musical expertise from Chinese mainland (n ≥ 442).
resultsThe results aimed to support the hypothesis that the three-factor structural model of the BTPS demonstrates invariance within this population. Preliminary experimental results indicated that the Chinese version of the BTPS has good validity in the musical expertise population in Chinese mainland (Cronbach's alpha coefficients of 0.86, 0.95 and 0.94 for the three dimensions, respectively), and the significance of the data (KMO > 0.6, p < 0.05) suggests that it can be further analyzed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and validation factor analysis (CFA).
conclusionsOur preliminary results show the feasibility of cross-cultural research on the findings of psychometric instruments from other countries, and the authors' pioneering work is also of practical significance in enriching the psychometric instruments on perfectionism in China, which will provide a valid basis for a series of future studies on perfectionism related to music psychology.
