Discussing that meeting with Gore, Christopher says he was "impressed by his intellectual equipment and his high personal standards".
The tortured appearance is a result of the high personal standards he sets for himself – a bar he does not lower gently for team-mates – but behind the menacing glare lies an emotionally vulnerable player with a not-unrelated past of underwhelming displays at vital junctures.
Forty-one healthy women were randomly assigned either to a high personal standards condition (n= 18) or to a low personal standards condition for 24 h (n= 23).
University students (N = 100; M age = 20.6 years; SD = 2.24) were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions, that is, a high Personal Standards condition, a condition combining Personal Standards perfectionism and Evaluative Concerns perfectionism, and a non-perfectionist condition.
After the manipulation, participants in the high personal standards condition ate fewer high calorie foods, made more attempts to restrict the overall amount of food eaten, and had significantly more regret after eating than those in the low personal standards condition.
Again, 37% of respondents in a favorable poll extolling a "commanding lead," do not feel Hillary Clinton has "high personal standards" or will set the right "moral tone" for the country.
First, the literature indicates that people with eating disorders have higher personal standards than psychiatric controls (Cockell et al., 2002).
Those in the low personal standards condition behaved with low standards and those who agreed to act according to extremely high personal standards also met their obligations.
