Sažetak
Using the Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (Gray, 1982) as a starting point,the aim
of the study was to test the hypothesis about differential association of behavioural inhibition
and behavioural activation systems with different forms of perfectionism among gifted athletes
enrolled in a secondary grammar school program. A total of 130 male and 88 female students
from the Zagreb Sports-Oriented Grammar School (Sportska gimnazija) participated in the study
(Mage = 16.62, SD = 1.16). Participants completed the Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale
(Terry-Short et al., 1995) and the BIS/BAS Scale (Carver and White, 1994) which measures
the sensitivity of behavioural inhibition (BIS subscale) and behavioural activation systems
(BAS – drive, BAS – fun seeking, and BAS – reward sensitivity subscales). According to the
obtained results, the specific aspects of adaptive perfectionism are related to the sensitivity of
the behavioural activation, while the specific aspects of maladaptive perfectionism are related to
the sensitivity of the behavioural inhibition system. The findings confirmed the initial hypothesis
based on the Dual Process Model of Perfectionism (Slade and Owens, 1998) and Reinforcement
Sensitivity Theory (Gray, 1982; Pickering and Gray, 1999). The results are discussed in the context
of contemporary operationalisations of perfectionism and the methodological shortcomings of
earlier empirical studies.
