    Author: Anshel MH, Seipel SJ.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 2007 Jun; 104(3 Pt 1):913-22. PubMed ID: 17688147.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between two constructs, social physique anxiety and perfectionism, both conceptually linked to exercise behavior. A secondary purpose was to examine sex differences. Men (n = 80) and women (n = 106) university students who exercised regularly at the campus fitness center completed the Brief Multiple Perfectionism Scale and the Social Physique Anxiety Scale immediately prior to their exercise session. A small but significant correlation was found between the two measures through the Brief Multiple Perfectionism Scale Doubts about Actions. It was concluded that the overall relationship between social physique anxiety and perfectionism is weak.
