This thesis aimed to contribute to a better understanding of
perfectionism in the exercise domain by examining maladaptive and
adaptive forms of perfectionism in relation to motivation,
self-presentation processes, and affective responses toward
exercise pursuits. The findings from three original studies suggest
that particular forms of perfectionism may predispose individuals
to engage in fundamentally different cognitive and behavioral
processes that may act to compromise or energize positive outcomes
in exercise behavior. Collectively, the findings here challenge the
conventional view of perfectionism in the exercise context as a
neurotic personality style that precipitates negative outcomes in
exercise and best corresponds to Hamacheck's (1978) original
conceptualization of normal or positive perfectionism and provides
support for Slade and Owens (1998) dual process model of
perfectionism.
