Abstract
The goal of this study is to explore the effects of both negative and positive perfectionism on musicians’ motivation, self-evaluation, and performance using the 2x2 Model of Perfectionism. The hypothesis posits that positive perfectionism boosts musicians’ motivation, performance, and self-evaluation, while negative perfectionism could influence the connection between perfectionism and the studied variables. A cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling consisting of 38 musicians, with 58% males and 42% females. The mean age of the participants was approximately 30.4 years, with a standard deviation of about 11.1 years. Data was gathered through a survey incorporating the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale and a music pitch game. The data analysis did not reveal any impacts of perfectionism on the outcomes examined. This might have been due to the operationalization of the variable performance. The average game duration of 10 minutes did possibly not suffice to improve their performance significantly.
