Swaha Bhattacharya, Shubha Lihala
Abstract :
The aim of the present investigation is to study the self–esteem, intrinsic motivation and perfectionism
of a group of Indian classical dancer. Accordingly, a group of 35 students and 35 professionals engaged
in dance were selected as sample in this investigation. A General Information Schedule, Rosenberg Self–esteem Scale,
Intrinsic Motivation Inventory and Perfectionism Inventory were used as tools. The findings reveal that comparatively
higher level of self–esteem and perceived competence was observed among the professional dancers than that of the
students. Not only this, professionals also showed higher levels of organization, striving for excellence and conscientious perfectionism than that of the students. The findings of the present work may help the dance institute to realize
that there is a need to develop an awareness of the positive impact of exercise upon the body and mind and also to
inspire the students to pursue and increase the levels of involvement in dance and how this can be achieved through
efficient and effective instruction techniques.
