In this study, we examined the relationships between dysmorphobia tendency and praise seeking, rejection avoidance, and self-oriented perfectionism. Subjects were 311 female university students. We created a model in which self-oriented perfectionism mediates the effect of praise seeking and rejection avoidance in dysmorphobia tendency. The results showed that subjects with a stronger desire for praise seeking and rejection avoidance showed more appearance evaluation apprehension and obsessive concentration on appearance. The results also show that praise seeking enhances self-oriented perfectionism, which in turn reduces appearance evaluation apprehension.
