Perceived group cohesion and multidimensional perfectionism in sport situations at Croatian table tennis recreational players

The aim of the study is to find differences in culturally adjusted facets of multidimensional perfectionism in sport situations (internalized and externalized perfectionism) and perceived group cohesion (pure friendship and mixed social- task orientation), addressed on recreational table tennis players. Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ) and Sport Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MSSP) are applied. The sample of 116 recreational table tennis players who play in Association of recreational table tennis players in Zagreb SOKAZ is examined. The results obtained show that married recreational table tennis players express higher internalized perfectionism, while mixed (social-task oriented) perceived cohesion is the highest at participants with the college degree. For other three independent variables (league category, playing experience and position on the ranking list), none statistically significant difference was found. The results are explained in terms of a nature of perfectionism and group cohesion at recreational athletes.
