Perfectionism and Burnout Within Intercollegiate Sport: A Person-Oriented Approach

Abstract: This study investigates the functional nature of perfectionism in sport through a person-oriented comparison of healthy and unhealthy perfectionist athletes’ levels of burnout. A sample of 117 intercollegiate varsity student-athletes (M age = 21.28 years, SD = 2.05) completed measures that assessed multidimensional sport-based perfectionism and athlete burnout indices (i.e., reduced accomplishment, sport devaluation, and emotional/physical exhaustion). Cluster analysis revealed that the sample could be represe… Show more

“…Research on correlates of perfectionism in sport suggests that it can be related to indicators of burnout in athletes [18,19] and coaches [20], competitive anxiety [21], self-esteem [22], or eating disorders [23]. The nature of these relationships is dependent on the dimension of perfectionism we are presented with.…”

“…En las últimas décadas, se han desarrollado diferentes modelos explicativos con objeto de comprender este trastorno en deportistas (Gustafsson et al, 2014), a partir de los cuales se han confirmado las relaciones que éste presenta respecto a las diferentes variables previamente expuestas (DeFreese & Smith, 2013;Gotwals, 2011;Isoard-Gautheur, Guillet-Descas, & Lemyre, 2012).…”

“…This research has advanced understanding of the perfectionism-burnout relationship by comparing the contribution of subdimensions of perfectionism to symptoms of burnout, as well as identifying some of the divergent psychological processes that explain their relationships (e.g., Hill, Hall, & Appleton, 2010;Hill et al, 2008). However, as recently argued by Gotwals (2011), this approach may offer limited insight into perfectionism as a multidimensional trait because it ignores the potential interplay between dimensions in determining their effects. Consequently, to test the assertions of early theorists fully, research is required that focuses on the interactive rather than independent effects of perfectionism dimensions.…”
