“…In the only other longitudinal study to examine a similar relationship in sport, Madigan et al (2016a) found the relationship between PC and exhaustion to be non-significant. However, because the overall difference in the size of the relationship in the two studies is quite small (β = .12 vs .16), we tentatively suggest that the two relationships are comparable and indicative of the possibility that SPP, and PC generally, is likely to have a small positive influence on the development of exhaustion over time for youth athletes and youth soccer players.…”

“…The first study was the only study not to find perfectionism to predict burnout over time (Chen, Kee, & Tsai 2009). The three studies that followed all provided evidence that perfectionism predicts burnout over time (Madigan, Stoeber, & Passfield, 2015, 2016a, 2016b. In two of these studies, examining total burnout and controlling for the relationship between dimensions of perfectionism, PC predicted increases in total burnout and PS predicted PERFECTIONISM, BURNOUT AND DEPRESSION 9 decreases in total burnout across three months (Madigan et al, 2015(Madigan et al, , 2016b.…”

“…In the other study, examining burnout symptoms and controlling for the relationship between dimensions of perfectionism, PC predicted increases in reduced sense of accomplishment and PS predicted decreases in reduced sense of accomplishment and devaluation. Neither PS nor PC predicted changes in exhaustion (Madigan et al, 2016a).In comparison to burnout, there are few studies that have examined the relationship between perfectionism and depression in sport. However, findings are broadly similar with research outside of sport with dimensions of perfectionism similar to PC positively related to depression in athletes (e.g., Nixdorf et al, 2016).…”

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 ...

“…Ähnlich wie Sportler/innen (Madigan et al, 2016) könnten auch Sänger/innen durch das intensive Üben und die permanente Wettbewerbssituation besonders anfällig für Burnout sein. Ein Faktor, der immer wieder in Zusammenhang mit Burnout diskutiert wird, ist das Persönlichkeitsmerkmal Perfektionismus (Geuenich & Hagemann, 2014;Ortmann, 2016 (Spitzer, 2016, S. 26).…”

ZusammenfassungBislang existieren kaum (musik-)psychologische Studien, welche die gesundheitliche Situation von Berufssänger/innen adressieren. Mit N = 313 Teilnehmenden handelt es sich bei der hier vorgestellten Forschungsarbeit um eine der bislang größten Studien, in welcher gesundheitspsychologische Aspekte bei Profisänger/innen untersucht wurden. AbstractOnly few (music-)psychological studies have investigated the health of professional singers up to now. The presented study, with a sample of N = 313 participants, is currently one of the most extensive studies that examines aspects of psychological health in professional singers. The study shows that professional singers have lower values in 16 out of 27 burnout markers in comparison with a representative sample. The other eleven burnout variables did not show a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The predictors of the regression analysis explained up to 40 percent of the variance of the criterion burnout. The strongest predictors were recovery skills, optimism and pessimism. Perfectionism, which is strongly pronounced in musicians, could not be identified as a significant predictor. With regard to preventive or rehabilitative interventions, it seems to be more effective to concentrate on the resources (recovery skills, optimism) instead of the allegedly negative aspects (perfectionism) when it comes to (potential) burnouts of professional singers.

OverviewPerfect performance, flawlessness, and the perfect body are revered in sport, dance, and exercise. As such, sport, dance, and exercise provide ideal domains in which to study perfectionism. This chapter provides an overview of research that has examined multidimensional perfectionism in these domains. We place particular emphasis on the most recent research in this area and provide suggestions to guide future research. It will be argued that perfectionism is a complex characteristic with particular relevance in sport, dance, and exercise. In addition, in its various guises, perfectionism can be problematic, beneficial, and also ambivalent with regards to motivation, well-being, and performance. To better understand the effects of perfectionism in sport, dance, and exercise, we call for research that adopts longitudinal designs, examines moderating factors, develops and refines measurement tools, and focuses on the influence of perfectionism among exercisers.
