“…Choking-affected athletes in the current study had a less healthy perfectionism profile than those who were not affected. Collectively, these findings support the previous proposal that unhealthy perfectionists experience higher levels of FNE, anxiety, and anxiety sensitivity than healthy perfectionists (Kawamura et al, 2001;Koivula et al, 2002).…”

Personality Predictors of Yips and Choking Susceptibility

The ability to perform under heightened levels of pressures is one of the largest discriminators of those who achieve success in competition and those who do not. There are several phenomena associated with breakdowns in an athlete's performance in a high-pressure environment, collectively known as paradoxical performances. The two most prevalent and researched forms of paradoxical performance are the yips and choking. The aim of the current study is to investigate a range of psychological traits (fear of negative evaluation, individual differences, anxiety sensitivity, self-consciousness, perfectionistic self-presentation, and perfectionism) and their ability to predict susceptibility to choking and the yips in an experienced athlete sample. 155 athletes (Golfers n = 86; Archers n = 69) completed six trait measures and a selfreport measure of yips or choking experience. The prevalence rate for choking and yips in both archers and golfers was 67.7 and 39.4%, respectively. A 2 × 2 × 2 MANOVA and discriminant function analysis revealed that a combination of 11 variables correctly classified 71% of choking and non-choking participants. Furthermore, analysis confirmed that a combination of four variables correctly classified 69% of the yips and non-yips affected participants. In this first study to examine both paradoxical performances simultaneously, these findings revealed that for the yips, all predictors stemmed from social sources (i.e., perfectionistic self-presentation), whereas choking was associated with anxiety and perfectionism, as well as social traits. This important distinction identified here should now be tested to understand the role of these traits as development or consequential factors of choking and the yips.

“…Evaluative concern consistently maintains a robust positive association with general trait or state anxiety (cf., Flett, Hewitt, Endler, & Tassone, 1994-1995Frost et al, 1990;Kawamura et al, 2001). The mechanisms for this association are likely numerous, transactional, and range across a variety of intra-and interpersonal domains such as patterns of cognitions, behaviors, and social interactions.…”

“…The association of evaluative concerns dimensions with these other forms of psychopathology (e.g., depression, eating disorders) suggests that evaluative concerns may function as a transdiagnostic risk factor (Egan, Wade, & Shafran, 2011). Although there is also some evidence to suggest that dimensions of perfectionism are associated with both post-traumatic stress disorder (e.g., Kawamura, Hunt, Frost, & DiBartolo, 2001) and panic disorder (e.g., Antony et al, 1998), the literature in these areas remains comparatively underdeveloped and therefore will not be discussed in the present chapter.…”

“…Perfectionistic tendencies including concern over mistakes, doubts about action and socially prescribed perfectionism have been independently associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression (Kawamura, Hunt, Frost, & DiBartolo, 2001); and symptoms of anxiety and depression commonly co-occur with insomnia (Ford & Kamerow, 1989). It is thus conceivable that the psychological factors mediating the link between perfectionism and insomnia may include anxiety and depression.…”

Individuals with insomnia often report aspects of perfectionism alongside symptoms of anxiety and depression. However, there has been limited examination of these factors together. The current study investigated whether individuals with insomnia report increased perfectionism compared to normal-sleepers. Further, the mediating role of anxiety and depression was examined. Participants were 39 individuals with DSM-5 defined Insomnia Disorder, and 39 normal-sleepers, who completed two measures of multidimensional perfectionism and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.Results demonstrated that, compared to normal-sleepers, individuals with insomnia display increased perfectionistic traits of: concern over mistakes, doubts about action, and parental criticism. In addition, these differences were partiality mediated by symptoms of anxiety, but not depression. Our findings highlight the significance of treating symptoms of anxiety with the prospect of alleviating negative thoughts concerning one's mistakes, doubts about action, and perception of parental criticism, which may contribute to insomnia.
