This study investigated differences in perfectionist traits and commitment between professional and amateur golfers, as well as correlations among perfectionist traits, commitment, and golf handicap. Using simple random sampling, 486 professional golfers (mean age = 22.1 ± 3.0, 52.1% female) and 233 amateur golfers (mean age = 44.8 ± 10.2, 55.8% female) were recruited and assessed using the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS) and Expansion of Sports Commitment Model (ESCM). An ANCOVA, controlling for age, golf career length, and training time, revealed lower MPS self-oriented scores (10.3%; = 8.9, < 0.01; effect size [ES] = 0.498) and higher ESCM-Cognition (12.6%; = 9.4, < 0.01; ES = 0.691) and ESCM-Behavior (9.4%; = 4.6, = 0.03; ES = 0.479) scores in professional golfers than in amateur golfers. In partial correlations controlling for age, golf career length, and training time, professional golfers' MPS scores were negatively associated with ESCM-Cognition scores ( = -0.30, < 0.001). Professional golfers' mean golf handicap was positively correlated with MPS total ( = 0.33, < 0.01). Altogether, golfers seeking to attain high levels of performance must consider the mental aspect of golfing and find ways to maximize commitment levels while minimizing perfectionist traits.
本研究调查了职业高尔夫球手和业余高尔夫球手在完美主义特征和投入方面的差异，以及完美主义特征、投入和高尔夫差点之间的相关性。采用简单随机抽样，招募了 486 名职业高尔夫球手（平均年龄=22.1±3.0，52.1%为女性）和 233 名业余高尔夫球手（平均年龄=44.8±10.2，55.8%为女性），并使用多维完美主义量表（MPS）和运动投入模型扩展版（ESCM）进行评估。协方差分析（ANCOVA），控制年龄、高尔夫球职业生涯长度和训练时间，显示职业高尔夫球手的 MPS 自我导向得分较低（10.3%； = 8.9， < 0.01；效应量[ES] = 0.498），而 ESCM-认知（12.6%； = 9.4， < 0.01；ES = 0.691）和 ESCM-行为（9.4%； = 4.6， = 0.03；ES = 0.479）得分较高。在控制年龄、高尔夫球职业生涯长度和训练时间的偏相关分析中，职业高尔夫球手的 MPS 得分与 ESCM-认知得分呈负相关（ = -0.30， < 0.001）。职业高尔夫球手的平均高尔夫差点与 MPS 总分呈正相关（ = 0.33， < 0.01）。总的来说，寻求达到高水平表现的高尔夫球手必须考虑高尔夫的心理方面，并找到最大限度地提高投入水平同时最小化完美主义特征的方法。
