The Model of Excellencism and Perfectionism has been proposed to differentiate the pursuit of high but realistic standards (excellencism) from the pursuit of perfectionistic standards. In a recent study, perfectionistic standards were positively linked to bottom-line mentality, moral disengagement, and tolerance toward electronic sign stealing (cheating) in professional baseball. In this follow-up study, we investigated the reactions of sports fans when the Houston Astros qualified for the 2021 World Series of Baseball 2 years after being found guilty of cheating. We found that fans of the Astros (n = 202) displayed a higher tolerance toward cheating than those of the Atlanta Braves (n = 265). Results of multiple regression (controlling for in-group vs. out-group status) showed higher tolerance toward cheating and doping in perfection strivers compared with excellence strivers. A winning-at-all-cost mentality and moral disengagement mediated the relationships between perfectionism and cheating attitudes.

卓越主义和完美主义模型已被提出，以区分追求高但现实的标准 （卓越主义） 与追求完美主义标准。在最近的一项研究中，完美主义标准与职业棒球中的底线心态、道德脱离和对电子标牌窃取（作弊）的容忍度呈正相关。在这项后续研究中，我们调查了当休斯顿太空人队在被判作弊 2 年后获得 2021 年世界棒球大赛资格时体育迷的反应。我们发现，太空人队的球迷 （n = 202） 比亚特兰大勇士队的球迷 （n = 265） 对作弊的容忍度更高。多元回归的结果（控制组内与组外状态）显示，与卓越奋斗者相比，完美奋斗者对作弊和兴奋剂的容忍度更高。不惜一切代价获胜的心态和道德上的脱离调解了完美主义和欺骗态度之间的关系。
