| Sumario: | Perfectionism plays a pivotal role in shaping an athlete's personality and enhancing their motivation to achieve peak performance. However, if not managed properly, perfectionism can become a source of psychological pressure, leading to excessive stress and fear of failure. Therefore, maintaining a balance between ambition and self-acceptance is essential for enhancing athletic performance without negatively impacting the athlete's mental well-being. The study aimed to identify the degree of positive perfectionism among professional football and volleyball players in Palestine, as well as to determine the differences in positive perfectionism between these two groups. The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach. The study was conducted on a stratified random sample of 79 professional volleyball players and 43 professional football players in Palestine. To collect data, the Positive Perfectionism Scale was used. The results showed that the degree of positive perfectionism among professional football and volleyball players in Palestine was high, with a mean score of 4.03±0.44. Furthermore, the results indicated that the t-value was statistically significant at the α≤0.05 level for positive perfectionism and its dimensions, favoring professional football players over volleyball players. The study found that professional athletes in Palestine have high positive perfectionism, with football players scoring higher than volleyball players. |
