This study aimed to examine the impact of moral perfectionism and moral identity on desirable social behavior and athletic success among student-athletes in the City of Karaj. The research methodology was applied developmental and of the structural equation modeling type, with the study population consisting of students in the city of Karaj. The Cohen method was used to determine the sample size. With a test power of 0.80 and an effect size of 0.25, the sample size was calculated to be 181 participants. An additional 10% was added to the sample size to account for the possibility of incomplete questionnaires, resulting in a final sample size of 199 participants. After accounting for incomplete questionnaires, 192 questionnaires were analyzed. The measurement tools were standardized questionnaires whose validity was confirmed. The reliability of these questionnaires was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient: 0.83 for the Moral Perfectionism Questionnaire, 0.88 for the Moral Identity Questionnaire, 0.76 for the Athletic Success Questionnaire, and 0.77 for the Desirable Social Behavior Questionnaire. The data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling with the software SPSS19 and AMOS24. The research findings showed that moral perfectionism has an impact of 0.36 on desirable behavior, moral perfectionism has an impact of 0.45 on athletic success, moral identity has an impact of 0.77 on desirable social behavior, and moral identity has an impact of 0.50 on athletic success. Therefore, it can be concluded that adhering to proper social behavior and achieving success in sports require effort, a strong personality, and an understanding and awareness of the principles of moral perfectionism and moral identity.
