Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test a 2×2 model of perfectionism among dancers. Methods: Dancers(N=538, male=95, female=443) completed measures of multidimensional perfectionism(self oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism), cognitive appraisals(challenge and threat), emotion regulations(reappraisal and suppression). Results: Moderated hierarchical regression and simple slope analysis indicated that dance majors with pure self oriented perfectionism were related to higher emotion regulation(reappraisal and suppression) than dance majors with non perfectionism. Dance majors of mixed perfectionism were related to higher challenge(cognitive evaluation), emotion regulation(reappraisal and suppression) than dance majors of pure socially prescribed perfectionism. Furthermore, dance majors of were associated with higher levels of threat(cognitive evaluation) than dance majors with pure self oriented perfectionism. Conclusion: The results of this study partially support the predictions of the 2×2 model of perfectionism in dance.
