Relationship between Perfectionism, Self-determination and Contrastive Methods between Sport Teams

The research is to investigate the relationship between perfectionism, selfdetermination and contrastive methods between sport teams. Research sample was the same as population (232 persons) and were consisted of all of the athletic students. The data was collected by three questionnaires: perfectionism multidimensional (1990), (α=0/87), Behavioral Regulation in Sport (2008), (α=0/8) and Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (1995), (α=0/896). The data was analyzed by mean, standard deviation, Kolmogorov– Smirnov, Pearson and regression by SPSS (20). There was a positive significant relationship between perfectionism (P=0/00, r=0/38) and Concern over mistakes (P =0/00, r=0/26), suspect about performance (P =0/00, r=0/17), parental expectations (P =0/00, r=0/35), parental criticism (P =0/00, r=0/35), personal standards (P =0/00, r=0/17), and organization (P =0/00, r=0/06) and contrastive methods. Also, parental expectations (β= 0/26) and parental criticism (β= 0/15) were significant predications for contrastive methods. There was a positive significant relationship between self-determination (P=0/04, r=0/13) and internal reasons (P=0/01, r=0/15), coordination's reasons (P=0/00, r=0/17), identification (P=0/04, r=0/13), adjustment avoidance reasons (P=0/00, r=0/21) external avoidance reasons (P=0/00, r=0/24). The external avoidance reasons (β= 0/20) was the only significant predication for contrastive methods. According to the results, perfectionism and self-determination were the contrastive methods for athletes.
