本研究旨在探讨外语学习焦虑与完美主义之间的关系。焦虑和非焦虑的语言学习者的评论是录音，因为他们看到自己在一个录像的口头采访互动。通过考察语言学习者对他们实际口语表现的反应，并分析录音中完美主义的例子，收集到的证据表明，焦虑和非焦虑的学习者在他们的个人表现标准，拖延，害怕评估，和担心错误方面存在差异。由于这项研究的结果表明，语言焦虑和完美主义之间的联系，文章结束时讨论的程序，已被用来克服完美主义，也可能有助于焦虑的外语学习者。
This interview study sought to clarify the relationship between foreign language anxiety and perfectionism. The comments of anxious and non-anxious language learners were audiorecorded as they watched themselves interact in a videotaped oral interview. By examining the reactions of the language learners to their actual oral performance and analyzing the audio-tapes for instances of perfectionism, evidence was gathered suggesting that anxious and non-anxious learners differ in their personal performance standards, procrastination, fear of evaluation, and concern over errors. Because the results of this study indicated a link between language anxiety and perfectionism, the article ends with a discussion of procedures that have been used to overcome perfectionism and that may also be helpful to anxious foreign language learners.
