Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of the personality traits and perfectionism
in predicting core self-evaluations of women with trichotillomania and healthy women.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 50 women affected with trichotillomania
(age-matched with 50 normal women) were selected by convenience sampling method from
counseling centers of Tabriz City, Iran. The participants completed the NEO Five Factor
Inventory, perfectionism, and core self-evaluation scales. Data were analyzed by the stepwise
multiple regression using SPSS16.
Results: The results indicated that the neuroticism and conscientiousness traits predict core
self-evaluations in the normal women. Moreover, the neuroticism and openness to experience
also predicted the core self-evaluation in those with trichotillomania, while the perfectionism
could not predict core self-evaluation.
Conclusion: In this study, findings showed that personality traits contribute to predict core
self-evaluations of women with trichotillomania and healthy women.

These findings are supported by previous studies that showed higher association of core self-evaluation with well- being, life satisfaction, and lower possibility of mental disorder, (Danna & Griffin, 1999; Schat, Kelloway, & Desmarais, 2005), while higher perfectionism is related to many psychological disorders (Gámez, Chmielewski, Kotov, Ruggero, & Watson."
