Perfectionism in sports has been shown to be associated with burnout athletes. Whether perfectionism predicts longitudinal changes athlete burnout, however, is still unclear. Using a two-wave cross-lagged panel design, the current study examined perfectionistic strivings, concerns, and 101 junior athletes (mean age 17.7 years) over 3 months of active training. When structural equation modeling was employed test series competing models, best-fitting model showed opposite patterns for...
Recent theory and research suggest that perfectionism is a personal factor contributing to athletes’ vulnerability doping (using banned substances/drugs enhance sporting performance). So far, however, no study has examined what aspects of in junior athletes. Employing cross-sectional design, this attitudes towards 129 male athletes (mean age 17.3 years) differentiating four perfectionism: perfectionistic strivings, concerns, parental pressure be perfect, coach perfect. In the bivariate...
Perfectionism in sports has been shown to predict longitudinal changes athlete burnout. What mediates these over time, however, is still unclear. Adopting a self-determination theory perspective and using three-wave design, the current study examined perfectionistic strivings, concerns, autonomous motivation, controlled burnout 141 junior athletes (mean age = 17.3 years) 6 months of active training. When multilevel structural equation modeling was employed test mediational model,...
There has been an exponential growth in research examining the neurological basis of human cognition and learning. Little is known, however, about extent to which sports coaches are aware these advances. Consequently, aim present study was examine prevalence pseudoscientific ideas among British Irish coaches. In total, 545 from United Kingdom Ireland completed a measure that included questions how evidence-based theories brain might enhance coaching learning, they were exposed different...
Perfectionistic athletes may train harder and for longer than non-perfectionistic athletes, leaving them susceptible to elevated levels of training distress. So far, however, no study has investigated the relationships between perfectionism distress, a key indicator overtraining syndrome. Furthermore, determined psychological predictors Using two-wave design, present examined perfectionistic strivings, concerns distress in 141 junior (mean age = 17.3 years, range 16–19 years) over 3 months...
Perfectionism is a multidimensional personality trait with two higher-order dimensions; perfectionistic strivings and concerns. The purpose of the present study was to explore evaluate two-factor model for first time using three instruments developed measure perfectionism in sport. In doing so, we (i) assessed fit models when including excluding various contentious subscales (other-oriented perfectionism, parental pressure, coach organisation, negative reactions imperfection) (ii) compared...
Abstract: Introduction: Concern about mental health is an increasingly relevant topic in high-performance sport. In this regard, because burnout can be harmful to both the and performance of athletes, it particular importance. Although a great deal time effort has been dedicated study athlete burnout, there are still issues that require further work. Therefore, present paper, we aim highlight what, our perspective, most important unsolved regarding athletes. Methods: We brought together...
The Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) is the gold standard measure for burnout in athletes. However, previous assessments of factorial validity have: (a) tested overly restrictive measurement models; (b) provided mixed support validity; and (c) not been applied to assess invariance across gender, sport type, or age. To address these issues, we used ABQ data by 914 athletes (Mage = 21.75 years, SD 8.79) examined using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) exploratory structural equation...
Perfectionism is a multidimensional personality characteristic associated with mental health problems. However, its features are commonly misunderstood, and many people unaware of the risks it can pose. This study aimed to develop first self-report measure perfectionism literacy. That is, degree knowledge someone has about perfectionism, consequences, when where seek help if needed. The Literacy Questionnaire (PLQ) was validated over four stages using samples community adults ( N = 1078...
