The winners of the 2017 World Series were found guilty of illegally using electronic devices to steal the signs of their opponents. Many but not all sport fans negatively reacted to this cheating incident. We relied on the model of excellencism and perfectionism to determine if perfection strivers are less unfavorable toward electronic sign stealing (cheating) compared with excellence strivers. Sport fans (N = 321) completed a measure of excellencism and perfectionism. We used three different approaches to measure attitudes toward electronic sign stealing in baseball. Results of a multivariate multiple regression showed that sport fans who are perfection strivers held more favorable attitudes toward electronic sign stealing compared with excellence strivers. Perfection strivers also reported higher moral disengagement and winning-at-all-cost mentality. These findings are insightful because they indicate that perfectionistic standards significantly relate to sport cheating-related attitudes once we separate excellencism from perfectionism.

体育迷对美国职业棒球大联盟电子标志窃取丑闻的态度：完美主义和卓越主义的不同关联。

2017 年世界大赛的获胜者被判犯有非法使用电子设备窃取对手标志的罪行。许多但不是所有的体育迷都对这起作弊事件做出了负面反应。我们依靠精益求精和完美主义的模型来确定与精益求精者相比，精益求精者对电子签名盗窃（作弊）的不利影响是否较小。体育迷（N = 321）完成了卓越主义和完美主义的测量。我们使用三种不同的方法来衡量对棒球中电子标志盗窃的态度。多元多元回归结果表明，追求完美的体育迷对电子标牌盗窃的态度比追求卓越的体育迷更积极。追求完美的人也报告了更高的道德脱节和不惜一切代价取胜的心态。这些发现很有见地，因为它们表明，一旦我们将卓越主义与完美主义区分开来，完美主义标准与体育作弊相关的态度显着相关。
