The Relationship between Perfectionism and Burnout in Junior-Elite Athletes

Abstract

The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the relationship between multidimensional perfectionism and athlete burnout. The target population of research consisted of 168 elite handball players who participate in National Junior Championships. 123 athletes were selected randomly as the sample. We used a multi-section inventory to collect data, contained measures of multidimensional perfectionism, dispositional achievement goals, athlete burnout, perceived satisfaction with goal attainment and perceived coach satisfaction with goal attainment. In this study was used Pierson correlation and Hierarchical regression for the analysis of collected data. Regression analyses revealed that socially prescribed perfectionism demonstrated a significant positive association, and self-oriented perfectionism a significant negative association with burnout dimensions. In conclusion, in this study were not supported the hypotheses of the moderating influence of Perceived satisfaction with goal attainment and achievement goal orientations on the relationship between multidimensional perfectionism and athlete burnout.

Social-Ecological Determinants of Elite Student Athletes’ Dual Career Development in Hong Kong and Taiwan

“…The ESAs had a strong personal motivation to strive for perfection. This could be a prominent determinant in their dual career development (Aghdasi, 2014).

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Burnout Owing to Perfectionism in Elite Athletes Based on the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS) and Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ)

“…Hill (2011) [32] (Team) 202 male rugby players aged 16-24 in the UK Correlation (r) MPS-H [5] ABQ [17] Article Hill (2010) [33] (Team) 150 male and female canoe/kayak athletes aged 13-55 in the UK Correlation (r) MPS [5] ABQ [17] Article Aghdasi (2014) [24] (Team) 123 male and female youth handball players in Turkey Correlation (r) MPS [5] ABQ [17] Article…”

“…These scales show conflicting results for the sub-factors. For example, Ho et al [23] and Aghdasi [24], who used the MPS and ABQ, found negative results in the relationship between SOP and burnout; conversely, positive results were found in the relationship between SPP and burnout. Regarding OOP, which is the third factor of the MPS, Olsson et al [25] and Park [26] found a positive relationship between OOP and burnout, whereas Zhang [27] and Kim et al [28] found negative relationships, indicating that the results vary greatly among studies.…”
