To collect data "Attitudes toward Physical Education Scale", "Sport Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale" and "Checklist of Facilities for Games and Sports in School" were administered on the sample. A multiple regression equation to predict the attitude towards physical education was formulated and the equation is:Attitude = 80.869 + 0.690 Personal Standards + 0.060 Concern Over Mistakes - 0.161 Perceived Parental Pressure -0.056 Perceived Coach Pressure Personal Standards (PS) and Perceived Parental Pressure (PPP) were observed to have much contribution to the development of attitude towards physical education.
