“…(Hays & Brown, 2004, p. 190) Th us, although much remains to be researched in regard to the correlates and outcomes of perfectionism, there is reason to believe that it is meaningfully related to variables commonly addressed in sport (e.g., anxiety) and more artistic ones (e.g., dramatic intent). How perfectionism is conceptualized and measured also matters greatly; as such, some studies appear to fi nd perfectionism to have mainly negative correlates (e.g., Carr & Wyon, 2003;Kenny et al, 2004;Mor et al, 1995;Nordin-Bates, Cumming, et al, 2011;Wilson & Roland, 2002), whereas others have also identifi ed some positive ones (e.g., intrinsic motivation; Stoeber & Eismann, 2007). Care is required in interpreting the fi ndings from any given study, because there is no consensus as to what perfectionism actually is.…”
