Sažetak
Perfectionism is commonly viewed as precondition for significant sport achievement. However, depending on the underlying motivation, perfectionistic tendencies might have beneficial or detrimental effect on both athletes’ well-being and sporting performance (Sagar & Stoeber, 2009). The purpose of the study was to explore whether different aspects of coach-created motivational climate are distinctly related to athletes’ adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism. A total of 161 athletes (69% male) from a variety of sports, who ranged in age from 20 to 25 years (M=20.6 years, SD = 0.95) completed the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire (Newton, Duda & Yin, 2000) and Multidimensional Inventory of Perfectionism in Sport (Stoeber et al., 2007). The results showed that adaptive form of athletes’ perfectionism is positively correlated with mastery (or task-oriented) motivational climate subscales namely, cooperative learning (r=.24, p<.01), important role (r=.18, p<.05), and effort/improvement (r=.28, p<.01). In contrast, maladaptive form of athletes’ perfectionism is positively correlated with performance (or ego-oriented) motivational climate subscales i.e., punishment for mistakes(r=.30, p<.01), unequal recognition (r=.28, p<.01), and intra-team member rivalry (r=.27, p<.05). A median split on perfectionism scores was used to further explore the differences in perceived coach-created motivational climate among athletes who obtained lower and those who obtained higher scores on adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism, respectively. Athletes with higher results on adaptive perfectionism obtained higher results on cooperative learning (t(157)= -2.10, p<.05) and effort/improvement (t(158)= -2.62, p<.01)scales, while athletes with higher results on maladaptive perfectionism achieved higher results on punishment for mistakes (t(158)= -3.00, p<.01) and unequal recognition (t(157)= -2.22, p<.05) scales. A solid body of empirical evidence has confirmed that parental behaviour is one of the key factors in the development of perfectionism. The results of this study provide additional knowledge about potential origins of different forms of perfectionism indicating that sport coaches may also have an important role in shaping adaptive and maladaptive perfectionistic tendencies among athletes.
