Abstract

The winners of the 2017 World Series were found guilty of illegally using electronic devices to steal the signs of their opponents. Many but not all sport fans negatively reacted to this cheating incident. We relied on the model of excellencism and perfectionism to determine if perfection strivers are less unfavorable toward electronic sign stealing (cheating) compared with excellence strivers. Sport fans (N = 321) completed a measure of excellencism and perfectionism. We used three different approaches to measure attitudes toward electronic sign stealing in baseball. Results of a multivariate multiple regression showed that sport fans who are perfection strivers held more favorable attitudes toward electronic sign stealing compared with excellence strivers. Perfection strivers also reported higher moral disengagement and winning-at-all-cost mentality. These findings are insightful because they indicate that perfectionistic standards significantly relate to sport cheating-related attitudes once we separate excellencism from perfectionism.

体育迷对美国职棒大联盟电子招牌偷窃丑闻的态度:与完美主义和卓越主义的不同关联。
2017年世界职业棒球大赛的获胜者因非法使用电子设备窃取对手的标志而被判有罪。许多体育迷对这次作弊事件反应消极,但不是全部。我们依靠卓越主义和完美主义的模型来确定与卓越主义者相比,完美主义者是否更不喜欢窃取电子标志(作弊)。运动迷(N = 321)完成了卓越主义和完美主义的测量。我们使用了三种不同的方法来衡量人们对棒球中偷取电子标志的态度。多元回归结果显示,追求完美的体育迷对偷牌行为的态度比追求卓越的体育迷更有利。追求完美的人也有更高的道德脱离和不惜一切代价取胜的心态。这些发现很有见地,因为它们表明,一旦我们将卓越主义与完美主义分开,完美主义标准与体育作弊相关的态度显著相关。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology (JSEP) is a peer-reviewed publication designed to stimulate and communicate research theory in all areas of sport and exercise psychology. JSEP emphasizes original research reports that advance our understanding of human behavior as it relates to sport and exercise. Comprehensive reviews employing both qualitative and quantitative methods are also encouraged, as well as brief reports of soundly designed research studies that are of special interest or importance. Areas of interest include research in social, clinical, developmental, and experimental psychology, as well as psychobiology and personality. Moreover, the terms sport and exercise may pertain to either the independent or dependent variables. Generally speaking, work on motor control processes, studies of sport as a social institution, or broader social issues are beyond the scope of JSEP. A wide variety of methods are acceptable for studying sport and exercise psychology topics.
