A great majority of research has extensively identified that maladaptive perfectionism is highly related to more negative emotions, anxiety, hostility and shame. In comparison to this kind of maladaptive perfectionism, religious/spiritual perfectionism is a new term which has recently been introduced as an adaptive type of perfectionism but its effects on mental health indices and depression/anxiety symptoms have only been explored in few studies.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the moderating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the relationship between spiritual/religious perfectionism with mental health indices and depression/anxiety symptoms.

A total of 510 individuals (381 men, 126 women) participated in the study. Participants were asked to complete an onlie questionnaire including the Mental Health Invetory-28 (Veit & Ware, 1983), Depression/Anxiety/Stress Scale (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995), (Spiritual/Religious Perfectionism Scale-14 (Besharat, 2019), and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006; Garnefski, Kraaij, & Spinhoven, 2001). Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Hierarchical Linear Regression were used to analyze the data.

Result showed that spiritual/religious perfectionism had a significant positive association with mental well-being and a significant negative association with mental distress and depression/anxiety symptoms (p<0.01). Result also revealed that although the relationship between spiritual/religious perfectionism with mental health indices and depression was not moderated by cognitive emotion regulation strategies, the relation between this kind of perfectionism and anxiety was moderated by maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (p<0.01).

Spiritual/religious perfectionism is an adaptive dimension of perfectionism and people who experience higher degrees of this type of perfectionism do not experience negative emotions, anxiety, and depression when they experience failure to achieve spiritual and religious perfection. Now, if some of these people use maladaptive emotion regulation strategies to regulate their unpleasant emotions, their anxiety will increase.

Examining the relationship between spiritual/religious perfectionism and indices of mental health including psychological well-being and psychological distress was the first objective of the present study. The second objective of the present study was to investigate the moderating role of spiritual health and ego-strength on the relationship between spiritual/religious perfectionism and mental health. Two hundred and sixty four volunteer students (122 boys, 142 girls) from the universities in Tehran participated in the present study. All participants were asked to complete Spiritual/Religious Perfectionism Scale, Spiritual Well-Being Scale, Ego-Strength Scale, and Mental Health Inventory. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between spiritual/religious perfectionism and measures of religious well-being, existential well-being, ego strenght, and psychological well-being, as well as a significant negative correlation between spiritual/religious perfectionism and psychological distress. Spiritual health as well as ego-strength showed a significant positive and negative correlation with psychological well-being and psychological distress, respectively. Results of path analysis showed that religious well-being, existential well-being, and ego strength plaid a moderating role on the relationship between spiritual/religious perfectionism and mental health. It can be concluded that spiritual/religious perfectionism is one of the determinants of mental health. Such determinant role is further supported by a positive correlation detected between spiritual/religious perfectionism and indices of spiritual health and ego-strength. Spiritual/religious perfectionism, as a new conceptualization of perfectionism separate from nonspiritual/nonreligious perfectionism, is confirmed by significant correlations between Spiritual/religious perfectionism and indices of mental health, spiritual health, and ego-strength in the present study.

A qualitative study using content analysis approach, was conducted. Deep-interviews were held with 18 divorced women. In this study a purposeful data sampling method was applied.
