Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare self-esteem, locus of control and perfectionism among athlete female and male students of athletes with non-athlete male and female students. The research method was comparative. The statistical population was all male and female athlete students in the 12th Olympiad of Sport Games in Tehran in August 2014, of which 92 were selected randomly and were matched by 92 non-athlete female and male students from Tehran, Shahid Beheshti, Allame Tabataba’i and Qom universities in terms of demographic variables including age, gender, level of education and marital status. To collect the data, Cooper Smith's self-esteem questionnaire and Nowicki-Strickland locus of control questionnaire and positive and negative perfectionism tests of Terry-Short et al were used. Two-factor multivariate variance analysis showed that there is a significant difference between athlete and non-athlete subjects in their locus of control and self-esteem variables. But in gender comparisons, women and men have only a significant difference in the variable of the locus of control. The analysis of gender-based interactions with group showed that there is a significant difference between male and female athletes compared to non-athlete men and women only in variable of locus of control. There was no significant difference between athletes and non-athletes and women and men as well as athletic interaction and gender regarding the perfectionism variable (P <0.05(.
