“…The discrepancies that may exist between an athlete's desired goal and actual performance outcome can be a cause of significant psychological distress [31]. While perfectionism is an incredibly complex topic with many different dimensions affecting athletes in both positive and negative ways [32], certain perfectionist tendencies-such as excessive worrying about mistakes-have been shown to be related to lower self-esteem and performance satisfaction in athletes [33]. When combined with the poor coping techniques often exhibited by college athletes [13,17], perfectionism has also been shown to increase vulnerability to depression following athletic failure [34].…”

This study aimed to determine an overall prevalence rate for depression symptoms among National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I collegiate athletes while also assessing various risk factors that may increase an athlete's vulnerability to depression. Using a sample of 950 NCAA Division I athletes, it was found that 33.2% of athletes experienced symptoms of depression, contradicting findings from previous studies that have suggested a prevalence rate lower than the general college population. Female athletes (P = 0.00), underclassmen (P = 0.01), recently injured athletes (P = 0.05), and in-season athletes (P = 0.05), were all found to experience higher rates of depression symptoms than other athletes. It was found that 25.7% of athletes did not know how or where to access mental health treatment at their university, and 44.5% had received no mental health education from their athletic department. The results from this study suggest that depression is a more significant issue in college athletics than previously thought, and they highlight the need for continued improvements to be made in both the understanding of mental health issues in college athletics and the services that are provided to athletes.

“…Therefore, we do not know how certain the participants were when they classified their responses. Since the different types of perfectionists presumably differ in their confidence related to performance (e.g., Koivula, Hassmén, & Fallby, 2002), this could also have differentially affected the neural correlates (the error negativity as well as the error positivity). To investigate the influence of uncertainty more accurately, this binary evaluation could be replaced by confidence ratings in further studies.…”

Error detection is required in order to correct or avoid imperfect behavior. Although error detection is beneficial for some people, for others it might be disturbing. We investigated Gaudreau and Thompson's (Personality and Individual Differences, 48, 532−537, 2010) model, which combines personal standards perfectionism (PSP) and evaluative concerns perfectionism (ECP). In our electrophysiological study, 43 participants performed a combination of a modified Simon task, an error awareness paradigm, and a masking task with a variation of stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA; 33, 67, and 100 ms). Interestingly, relative to low-ECP participants, high-ECP participants showed a better post-error accuracy (despite a worse classification accuracy) in the highvisibility SOA 100 condition than in the two low-visibility conditions (SOA 33 and SOA 67). Regarding the electrophysiological results, first, we found a positive correlation between ECP and the amplitude of the error positivity (Pe) under conditions of low stimulus visibility. Second, under the condition of high stimulus visibility, we observed a higher Pe amplitude for high-ECP-low-PSP participants than for high-ECP-high-PSP participants. These findings are discussed within the framework of the error-processing avoidance hypothesis of perfectionism (Stahl, Acharki, Kresimon, Völler, & Gibbons, International Journal of Psychophysiology, 97, 153-162, 2015).

ResumenEl objetivo de este trabajo fue validar la adaptación al español de la versión corta del Inventario de Perfeccionismo Multidimensional en el Deporte (MIPS) en competición, analizando su estructura factorial, invarianza factorial en función del sexo y del tipo de deporte (individual vs. colectivo), y la validez basada en la relación con otras variables. Participaron 295 deportistas de alto rendimiento de ambos sexos quienes respondieron al instrumento. Los resultados confirmaron la estructura bifactorial (esfuerzo por la perfección, y reacciones negativas ante la imperfección), donde cada factor se relaciona de forma independiente con las dimensiones de ansiedad precompetitiva. También se evidencia la equivalencia estructural e invarianza parcial de las saturaciones factoriales del instrumento a través del sexo y del tipo de deporte, más no la invarianza de los interceptos. En conclusión se apoya la validez de esta adaptación para medir el perfeccionismo durante la competición deportiva.Palabras clave: perfeccionismo, validez, fiabilidad, estudio psicométrico, deporte de competición AbstractThe aim of this study was to validate the adaptation to Spanish of the short version of the Multidimensional Inventory of Perfectionism in Sport (MIPS) in competitive situation, by analyzing the factorial structure, factorial invariance by gender and type of sport (individual vs. collective), and the validity based on the relationship with other variables. 295 elite athletes of both genders responded to the instrument. The results confirmed the two-factor structure (striving for perfection, and negative reactions to imperfection), and that each factor is independently associated with the dimensions of precompetitive anxiety. They also showed structural equivalence and partial invariance of factor loadings of the inventory across sex and type of sport, but not invariance of intercepts. In conclusion, the validity of this adaptation is supported to measure perfectionism during sport competition.Keywords: perfectionism, validity, reliability, psychometric study, competitive sport Agradecimientos: Este trabajo se ha realizado, en parte, gracias a la subvención 149/4/N/7/1
