“…Conroy and colleagues view fear of failure as the tendency to appraise threat to the achievement of personally meaningful goals when one fails in the performance. They suggest that failure is perceived as threatening, and feared, by individuals who associate it with aversive consequences (Conroy et al, 2002; see also Sagar, Lavallee, & Spray, 2007). Their model proposes five beliefs about the consequences of failure that are associated with threat appraisal and feared.…”

positive affect after success, whereas perfectionistic concern over mistakes and perceived parental pressure showed a positive relationship with fear of experiencing shame and embarrassment and with negative affect after failure. Moreover, fear of experiencing shame and embarrassment fully mediated the relationship between perfectionistic concern and negative affect and between coach pressure and negative affect. The findings demonstrate that fear of experiencing shame and embarrassment is central in the perfectionism-fear of failure relationship and that perfectionistic concern about mistakes and perceived coach pressure are aspects of perfectionism that predict fear of experiencing shame and embarrassment and negative affect after failure.

“…De esta forma, incluso aquellos que desempeñan esta actividad de forma más exitosa, sufren en algún momento de su carrera algún episodio de consecuencias traumáticas, entre los cuales se encuentra la prácticamente inevitable experiencia de la derrota (Sagar, Lavallee, & Spray, 2007;Wilson & Kerr, 1999) o la lesión deportiva (Podlog, Dimmock, & Miller, 2011;Salim, Wadey, & Diss, 2015).…”

RESUMEN:Los deportistas a lo largo de su vida deportiva se pueden ver expuestos a situaciones que les son estresantes en mayor o menor medida, es precisamente esa capacidad para superarlos lo que se denomina resiliencia. En este estudio se pretende validar y adaptar la The Resilience Scale de Wagnild y Young (1993) a partir de la versión portuguesa desarrollada por Vigário et al., compuesto por 25 ítems. La muestra está conformada por 278 voleibolistas con una edad media de 20.9 años. El análisis factorial confirmatorio reveló unos índices de ajuste adecuados para el modelo de dos factores correlacionados y del modelo de orden superior de la ERCD, mostrándose la estructura invariante respecto al sexo. Los dos factores que integran la escala obtuvieron una alta consistencia interna. La ERCD se mostró como un instrumento psicométrico robusto y adecuado para medir en España la resiliencia en el contexto deportivo y de la actividad física. Palabras Clave: Resiliencia, actividad física, deporte, análisis factorial. Spanish validation and adaptation of the resilience scale in the sport context (ERCD)ABSTRACT: Athletes throughout their sports life can be exposed to situations that are stressful to a greater or lesser extent, it is precisely that ability to overcome what is called resilience. This study aims to validate and adapt Wagnild and Young's The Resilience Scale (1993) based on the Portuguese version developed by Vigário et al., composed of 25 items. The sample is made up of 278 volleyball players with a mean age of 20.9 years. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed adequate adjustment indices for the correlated two-factor model and the higher-order model of the ERCD, showing the invariant structure with respect to sex. The two factors that make up the scale obtained a high internal consistency. The ERCD was shown as a robust and adequate psychometric instrument to measure resilience in Spain in the context of sport and physical activity.

“…Failure (the inability to satisfy standards of goalrelated performance) can be a stressor that evokes strong cognitive, emotional, and social responses in youth (Shepherd, 2009). Failure is generally appraised as threatening to one's goals and associated with aversive consequences, which can result in negative emotions or psychological stress (e.g., Sagar, Lavallee, & Spray, 2007). Negative emotions prompt individuals to employ coping strategies to deal with the stressor (Smith & Kirby, 2009).…”

The Developmental Importance of Success and Failure Experiences at Summer Camp

Young people can learn from success and failure. Such experiences are useful in developing skills (e.g., perseverance and coping), and remain essential facets of youth programming. However, success and failure can also impede development. Appraisal theory has been used widely to examine youths' experiences with success and failure in school and sport, yet summer camps represent an important setting where success and failure may look and feel different. In camp settings success or failure are often more subjective and less dependent on objective performance indicators such as grades, wins, or losses. Because of these contextual differences, little is known about youth experiences with success and failure at summer camp. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to use summer camp as a context to describe youths' appraisals of success and failure experiences and the associated development. Findings explain how success and failure at camp can contribute to the positive development of selfefficacy, effective coping, and perseverance. Furthermore, some youth exhibit unproductive responses to failure at camp which may obstruct opportunities for growth. Implications for practice are recommended to help camp staff support young people through failure experiences and to maximize the positive developmental potential of both failure and success at camp.
