许多音乐家在表演时会感到焦虑和痛苦，这与完美主义有关。然而，最近的研究结果表明，完美主义的某些方面与焦虑和痛苦有关，而其他方面则与积极的特征和结果有关，如动机和成就。为了研究完美主义的不同方面与音乐家的动机、努力、成就和痛苦之间的关系，146名年轻音乐家完成了完美主义（追求完美、对不完美的负面反应和完美的感知压力）、内在和外在动机、努力、成就和痛苦的测量。结果表明，追求完美与内在动机（内在/确定的原因），更高的努力，更高的成就。而音乐教师的压力也与内在动机（确定的原因），不完美的负面反应与外在动机和更高的痛苦。研究结果表明，音乐家的完美主义既有积极的一面，也有消极的一面。虽然对不完美的负面反应显然是不健康的，但追求完美可能被视为对卓越的健康追求。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Many musicians experience anxiety and distress when performing, which has been related to perfectionism. Recent findings, however, show that only some facets of perfectionism are associated with anxiety and distress, whereas other facets are associated with positive characteristics and outcomes such as motivation and achievement. To investigate how different facets of perfectionism are related to motivation, effort, achievement, and distress in musicians, 146 young musicians completed measures of perfectionism (striving for perfection, negative reactions to imperfection, and perceived pressure to be perfect), intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, effort, achievement, and distress. Results showed that striving for perfection was associated with intrinsic motivation (intrinsic/identified reasons), higher effort, and higher achievement. Whereas perceived pressure from music teachers was also associated with intrinsic motivation (identified reasons only), negative reactions to imperfection were associated with extrinsic motivation and higher distress. The findings demonstrate that perfectionism in musicians has both positive and negative sides. While negative reactions to imperfection are clearly unhealthy, striving for perfection may be regarded as a healthy pursuit of excellence. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
