Recent research found perfectionistic strivings to predict performance in a novel basketball task among novice basketball players. The current study builds on this research by examining whether this is also the case for performance in a familiar basketball training task among experienced basketball players, and whether achievement goals mediated any observed relationships. Perfectionistic strivings, perfectionistic concerns, and 3 × 2 achievement goals were assessed prior to basketball training performance in 90 basketball players (mean age 20.9 years). Regression analyses showed that perfectionistic strivings predicted better performance. Furthermore, mediation analyses showed that other-approach goals (e.g. beliefs that one should and can outperform others) accounted for this relationship. The findings suggest that perfectionistic strivings may predict better performance in both novel and familiar athletic contexts. In addition, beliefs about the importance and ability to outperform others may explain this relationship.
最近的研究发现，完美主义追求可以预测新手篮球运动员在一项新的篮球任务中的表现。本研究在此基础上进一步探讨了在经验丰富的篮球运动员进行熟悉的篮球训练任务时，这是否也是如此，以及成就目标是否在任何观察到的关系中起中介作用。在 90 名篮球运动员（平均年龄 20.9 岁）进行篮球训练表现之前，评估了完美主义追求、完美主义关注和 3×2 成就目标。回归分析表明，完美主义追求可以预测更好的表现。此外，中介分析表明，其他趋近目标（例如，认为自己应该并且可以胜过他人的信念）解释了这种关系。研究结果表明，在新颖和熟悉的运动环境中，完美主义追求都可能预测更好的表现。此外，关于超越他人的重要性和能力的信念可能解释了这种关系。
