Rasquinha, Allison, John G. H. Dunn, and Janice Causgrove Dunn. "Relationships Between Perfectionistic Strivings, Perfectionistic Concerns, And Competitive Sport Level." Psychology Of Sport And Exercise 15.6 (2014): 659-667. PsycINFO. Web. 22 Oct. 2015.

This article talks about the comparison of levels of competitive sports to levels of perfectionistic strivings of each individual student/dancer. There was an experiment done to try and figure out if there was a relationship between competitive sports and children being more of a perfectionist when it came to that sport. Each person explained what competitive sport they were involved in and what level of perfectionism they would categorize themselves in. Each person was an undergraduate student and half were female and half were male. The results concluded were that the level of competitive sport does have a relationship with the level of perfectionistic strivings for each student. When the level of competitive sport was more serious or vigorous, the level of perfectionism increased. This article will help with my documentary because it talks about some downfalls to competitive dance. Even though my issue is saying that competitive dance is good for children, I think that being able to state some opinions of downfalls will help. I think that sometimes being a little bit of a perfectionist can be a good thing in dance because it allows for the lines of dance look more clean and together. This helps the dance look more organized and better practiced. Therefore, this article will be a great addition to my documentary as well as my research speech.
