Abstract
Perfectionism and mood states are psychological constructs which according to the results of recent studies, have substantial role in sport performance. The purpose of this research was to determine and compare therelationship between sport perfectionism and mood states inteam and idiviual sports athletes. The Research method used is descriptive with a correlative approach. Based on random sampling, 70 athletes in individual fields and 70 in team fields have selected from national super league. for data collection, two questionnaires of sport perfectionism, Dunn,et al (2006) and Brums, Terry et.al (2003) were used and for data analysis took Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test and Z Fischer. The results indicated that in team and individual fields, there was a positively significant relationship between concern over mistakes as a negative aspect of perfectionism and scores obtained on negative mood before competition, while such relationship was negative for vigor. There was no significant relationship between perfectionism of athletes of team and individual but depression and fatigueof team athletes significantly was better than individual athletes. Finally the results of Z Fischer test showed no significant difference between perfectionism correlation coefficients and mood states before competition in team and individual athletes. Negative performance via negative reaction mechanism regarding to error and mistake causes negative mood while positive perfectionism due to motivational effects results in improving positive mood.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of Persian version of exercise dependence scale, prevalence of exercise dependence and some related factors in male and female athletes clubs of Urmia. Subjects of this research were 325 athletes in the sample (206 males; 119 females, mean age 28.06±8 years) various team and individual sports (team sports N= 195, individual sports N=130) in the form of voluntary and available attend in this study. Hausenblas and Downs (2002) exercise dependence scale 21 with seven subscale was the instruments of the study. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine validity of questionnaire, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to determine internal consistency. The results showed that the validity of exercise dependence scale 21 is desirable. Also the results showed that in this study the prevalence of exercise dependence between men and women population is not very different from each other and exercise dependence in individual sports is twice to team sports. Since exercise dependence may exist among a wide range of athletes, therefore, in order to address the adverse effects of this factor, it is necessary to examine the underlying causes and trying to modify it.
