Perfectionism is considered to be a significant personality factor within the sport and exercise field. However, very little is known about the reasons why individuals with different perfectionistic tendencies engage or not in physical activity. This study aims, from a person-oriented approach, to analyze if participation motives and barriers may differ among four perfectionistic profiles: (low perfectionistic strivings, PS, and perfectionistic concerns, PC), (high PS and low PC), (high PS and PC), and (moderate PS and PC). A sample composed of 597 ( = 22.08, = 3.33) undergraduates enrolled in a sport science degree from Ecuador participated in this study. reported lower levels of motives, whereas and reported higher scores on all participation motives. Significant and positive correlations were found between PS and both autonomous and controlled motives, whereas PC was positively correlated with controlled reasons and only significantly correlated with some autonomous reasons by the effect of PS. In terms of barriers, reported significantly higher scores on all barriers analyzed in comparison with the other three profiles, with moderate and large effect sizes. The results of the bivariate and partial correlations suggest that these inter-profile differences were explained by PC. Considering the results, it is advised to develop strategies to identify in order to increase their intrinsic reasons for practicing physical exercise, and to minimize their perceived barriers.
完美主义被认为是运动和锻炼领域的一个重要人格因素。然而，对于具有不同完美主义倾向的个体为什么参与或不参与体育活动的原因，人们知之甚少。本研究旨在从个体取向的角度分析，在四个完美主义特征群体中（低完美主义追求、PS 和完美主义关注、PC），参与动机和障碍是否存在差异：（高 PS 和低 PC），（高 PS 和 PC）和（中等 PS 和 PC）。来自厄瓜多尔体育科学学位的 597 名本科生（ = 22.08， = 3.33）参与了这项研究。 报告的动机水平较低，而 和 报告的所有参与动机得分都较高。PS 与自主和控制动机呈显著正相关，而 PC 与控制原因呈正相关，仅通过 PS 的影响与一些自主原因显著相关。在障碍方面， 报告的所有分析障碍的得分均显著高于其他三个特征群体，具有中等和较大的效应量。二元和偏相关的结果表明，这些特征群体之间的差异可以用 PC 来解释。考虑到这些结果，建议制定策略来识别 ，以增加他们进行体育锻炼的内在动机，并最大限度地减少他们感知到的障碍。
