Different views on perfectionism, and different approaches about achievement goals, have led to studies on rela-tionships between perfectionism and achievement goals. Stoeber et al. (2009) (Elliot & Conroy, 2005;Spray & Keegan, 2005). Thus, we examined the theoretical model by Stoeber et al. (2009)
, to investigate relationships between perfectionism and achievement goals in adult elite athletes. For this purpose, 134 adult elite athletes completed questionnaires of MIPS (Stoeber, Otto & Stoll, English version, 2006), sport -MPS -2 (Gotwals & Dunn, 2009), and AGQ -S (Conroy et al., 2003). On the assumption of the final theoretical model as based on a few significant indices, perfectionistic strivings was associated with mastery-approach and performance-approach goals
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
