“…For this particular reason, researchers, sports psychologists and coaches should use the PFAI, since it is a valuable instrument that gives a specific attention to the existence of different situational threats that might reside within the competitive environment being studied (Correia et al, 2016;Fisher & Zwart, 1982).…”

“…The Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (PFAI; Conroy et al, 2002), translated and adapted by Correia et al (2016) is a multidimensional measure of threat appraisals associated with fear of failure. Participants were asked to rate how strongly they believed each of the 14 aversive consequences of failure were likely to occur to them after failing.…”

“…Even though, general fear of failure scores has shown themselves to be related, but empirically distinct, from more general trait anxiety constructs such as trait anxiety and sport competitive anxiety (Conroy, 2001;Conroy et al, 2002;Correia, Rosado, & Serpa, 2016).…”

Sport represents an important achievement domain, where fear of failure and anxiety are permanently present. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between fear of failure and anxiety in sport contexts. A total of 405 athletes completed the Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory and the Sport Anxiety Scale-2. In this study, a structural equation modelling was used to test this relationship. The results gathered, provided evidence that fear of failure construct has a direct and positive influence on sport anxiety. Furthermore, and consistent with previous studies, a relationship between fear of failure and anxiety was found, indicating that athletes with higher levels of fear of failure displayed a tendency of having greater anxiety levels. These findings highlights the importance of fear of failure in sport contexts, especially as a predictor of sport anxiety in athletes.

Perfectionism is defined as the desire to achieve the highest standards of performance, in combination with unduly critical evaluations of one's performance. This study was designed to analyse the psychometric proprieties of the Portuguese version of the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale through confirmatory factor analysis in two different samples (calibration with 350 adolescent athletes and validation with 206 adolescent athletes). The confirmatory factor analysis suggested that after dropping items with low factor loadings, the six-factor model showed good fit (χ 2 = 292.83, B-S p < 0.001; χ 2 /d f = 1.693, PCFI = 0.79, PGFI = 0.70, CFI = 0.96, GFI = 0.93, RMSEA = 0.045). All constructs presented good internal consistency, convergent and discriminant validity. A multi-group analysis exposed the cross validity of the model. The correlations between perfectionism, fear of failure and sport anxiety measures revealed evidence of its concurrent validity, providing evidence for the proposed model. Overall, the results of the present study provided evidence for these instruments' validity and reliability, however further investigations are required. Resumen El perfeccionismo se define como el deseo de alcanzar altos modelos de rentabilidad asociado a evaluaciones críticas relativas a su rentabilidad. Este estudio tuvo por objetivo realizar un análisis psicométrico de la versión Portuguesa de la Escala Multidimensional de Perfeccionismo de Frost, en dos muestras diferentes (calibración con 350 atletas adolescentes y validación con 206 atletas adolescentes). El análisis factorial confirmatorio sugierió que después de dejar caer artículos con cargas bajas de factores, el modelo de seis factores mostró un buen ajuste (χ 2 = 292.83, B-S p < 0.001; χ 2 /d f = 1.693, PCFI = 0.79, PGFI = 0.70, CFI = 0.96, GFI = 0.93, RMSEA = 0.045). Las propiedades psicométricas del nuevo modelo han demostrado una buena consistencia interna, validad convergente y discriminante. El análisis multigrupos realizado ha comprobado la validad cruzada del modelo. Las correlaciones entre el perfeccionismo, el miedo a fallar y la ansiedad deportiva han revelado su validéz concurrente, proveyendo así evidencias de que el modelo propuesto es una herramienta válida para acceder al perfeccionismo en el contexto deportivo Portugués, sin embargo futuras investigaciones son necesarias.

“…Since it has been realized, there has been a growing interest in its use by various sports researchers. Thus, we identified studies whose objective was the validation of Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory in other languages or countries, such as Turkey (Kahraman & Sungur, 2016), Portugal (Correia, Rosado & Serpa, 2016) and UK (Sagar & Jowett, 2010). In these studies, we identified that the factorial structure of the inventory was retained by exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyzes, and each scale of the questionnaire obtained a satisfactory internal consistency.…”
