“…This is because the only statistically significant cross-lagged effect was depressive symptoms to SPP. This is a finding that directly replicates another study testing a reciprocal relations model between SPP and depression (Asseraf & Vaillancourt, 2015). On the basis of our findings, we tentatively suggest that the current study provides the first evidence of a complication/scar model to explain the relationship between perfectionism and depression in youth soccer players.…”

“…These issues notwithstanding, support for a complication/scar model has been provided recently by others and suggests that this model is worthy of further examination (e.g., Asseraf & Vaillancourt, 2015). In speculating on why depressive symptoms might precede increases in SPP, Asseraf and Vaillancourt argued that depression may increase prominence of negative schemas and attitudes (e.g., negative thoughts about self and others)…”

“…This is a relatively short period of time to capture this relationship. Examining perfectionism, burnout, and depression over longer periods seems warranted especially given that relationships may change across the lifespan (Asseraf & Vaillancourt, 2015).

The relationship between perfectionism, burnout and depression among youth soccer players is of interest due to the stressful academy environments that must be navigated in order to become a professional soccer player. Three alternative theoretical models have been proposed to explain the relationship between perfectionism, burnout and depression. These models state that perfectionism is (a) a vulnerability factor for burnout and depression (vulnerability Researchers have recently begun to examine the negative experiences of junior athletes within in youth soccer academies. This is in part because youth soccer academies have the potential to be stressful. Boys can join development centres in soccer academies of professional clubs in the UK from 5 years old. They are formally registered to the club at the age of 9 and, thereafter, undergo an ongoing registration process where they are released on a yearly basis if they do not play to the requisite standard. The next key point in the process is the age of 16, when boys will need to secure a scholarship to continue at the academy. Again, thereafter, the selection process can continue up until the age of 23 when it must be decided whether they are to join the professional first team squad or be released (See Premier League:Elite Player Performance Plan, 2011). Of the minority of players that do secure a scholarship at the age of 16, approximately 98% are no longer playing by the age of 21 and, in total, it is estimated that less than 1% of youth players reach the professional ranks (Gernon, 2016;Green, 2009). For these reasons, the soccer academy environment is intense, fiercely competitive, and for some it can be experienced as unsupportive and marginalizing (Roderick, 2006).In the hope of better safeguarding junior athletes from the potential negative consequences of pursuing a career in soccer, the current study examined burnout and depressive symptoms among junior athletes attending youth soccer academies. It also examined how, in this context, burnout and depression might be related to perfectionism among junior athletes. We first define and describe athlete burnout, depressive symptoms, and perfectionism, as well as review research examining them in sport. We then discuss research that has examined the relationships between them and offer three alternative PERFECTIONISM, BURNOUT AND DEPRESSION 4 theoretical models that might explain their inter-relationships over time (vulnerability model, complication/scar model, and reciprocal relations model). Athlete BurnoutAthlete burnout is one possible outcome of competing within a soccer academy.Athlete burnout is characterised by three core symptoms: a reduced sense of accomplishment, physical and emotional exhaustion, and sport devaluation (Raedeke & Smith, 2001). A reduced sense of accomplishment is an athlete's perception of inadequate sporting abilities and achievement. Athletes come to believe that they are unable to reach their goals or are consistently performing below their capabilities, regardless of ...

Validación de una escala de perfeccionismo en niños peruanosResumen. Este artículo validó la Escala de Perfeccionismo Infantil (EPI) de Oros en una población infantil peruana. Se contó con la participación de 1084 niños con edades comprendidas entre los 7 y 12 años (M = 9.75; DE = 1.23) de siete instituciones educativas, privadas y públicas. El Análisis Factorial Exploratorio reveló una escala bidimensional oblicua (Reacción ante el fracaso y Autodemandas); no obstante, tres ítems tuvieron una carga < .30. El Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio corroboró la estructura bidimensional oblicua con la salvedad de errores correlacionados. La fiabilidad fue estimada mediante el coeficiente Omega (ω = .810). Se concluye que la EPI cuenta con evidencia de validez y fiabilidad de las puntuaciones. Palabras clave. Perfeccionismo, niños, validación, fiabilidad.Abstract. This article discusses the validation of the Oros' Child Perfectionism Scale (EPI) in a Peruvian child population. A total of 1084 children aged 7 to 12 years (M = 9.75, SD = 1.23) from seven private and public educational institutions participated. Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed an oblique two-dimensional scale (Reaction to failure and Self-orders); however, three items had a load <. 30. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis corroborated the bidimensional oblique structure with the exception of correlated errors. Reliability was estimated using the Omega coefficient (ω = .810). It is concluded that the EPI has evidence of validity and reliability of the scores.

Imperfectly perfect: Examining psychosocial safety climate's influence on the physical and psychological impact of perfectionism in the practice of law

Existing evidence suggests that perfectionism is related to depressive symptoms, burnout, and clinical disorders and that socially prescribed, rather than self-oriented, perfectionism is the most maladaptive. Thus, social expectations of perfection can have detrimental effects on workers that may result in negative organizational outcomes. Using a sample of 176 Arizona attorneys, this two-wave longitudinal study examined whether psychosocial safety climate (PSC) may reduce perfectionist ideals and, in turn, improve employee well-being. Expectedly, PSC negatively influenced physical and psychological distress 2 months later directly and indirectly via socially prescribed perfectionism, suggesting that the beneficial impacts of positive PSCs may manifest over a relatively short period of time. Contrarily, self-oriented perfectionism was not related to PSC, suggesting a demand-resource mismatch, and positively related to physical symptoms only. These results suggest a more complex relationship between self-oriented perfectionism and employee well-being, perhaps depending on other variables.
