The article explores two issues – perfectionism and attitudes toward doping in sport. The study was aimed at verifying the thesis that perfectionism in its adaptive and maladaptive forms may have an effect on athletes’ attitudes toward doping. The study sample consisted of 110 athletes (43 females and 67 males). To test perfectionism the Adaptive and Maladaptive Perfectionism Questionnaire developed by Szczucka was used and to measure attitudes toward doping-free sport and anti-doping policies a questionnaire worked out by one of the authors. The effect of perfectionism on doping attitudes was measured. There were significant differences in attitudes toward controls and sanctions between men and women with men showing a more positive attitude. All regression models were significant, explaining from 7% to 12% of variance in the attitudes. In all cases adaptive perfectionism was a positive predictor of attitudes to doping. On the contrary, maladaptive perfectionism was negatively correlated with attitudes; only in the case of attitude toward controls the relationship was significant. With the rise of adaptive perfectionism, i.e. the tendency to set oneself high personal standards and strive for superb athletic performance, the probability of positive attitudes toward anti-doping policy also rises.
