Abstract

The study examines the relationship between secondary school students’ sportspersonship and perfectionism levels. The study group of the research consisted of 237 secondary school students. A personal Information Form was used to determine the demographic characteristics of the participants. While the Physical Education Lesson Sportspersonhip Behavior Scale was used to determine the sportsmanship levels, the Perfectionism Scale was used to determine the perfectionism levels. According to the results obtained, a positive and significant relationship was found between students' positive behavior scores and positive perfectionism scores. While there is a significant relationship between sportspersonship and gender, participation in sports, and age, the relationship between gender and perfectionism is not significant. Students who play sports have a higher level of positive perfectionism and a lower level of negative perfectionism. As a result, students with positive perfectionistic attitudes tend to exhibit positive behaviors in sports.
