Examining relations between dimensions of perfectionism and self-compassion in university athletes
Journal of Exercise, Movement, and Sport(2011)
摘要
Perfectionism in sport has various dimensions, including evaluative and excessive concerns and criticism, as well as excessively high personal standards (Flett & Hewitt, 2002). Self-compassion (SC) may influence aspects of perfectionism. This study explored relations between perfectionism and SC in 149 female (Mage = 20.0 years, SD = 1.7 years) and 125 male (Mage = 19.7 years, SD = 1.50 years) varsity athletes using the short version of the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS, Cox et al., 2002), the Sport MPS (SMPS, Gotwals & Dunn, 2009), and the Self-Compassion Scale (Neff, 2003). Males reported significantly higher scores for the perfectionism variables of personal standards [t(3.29) = 3.29] and perceived parental pressure [t(272)= 5.34], while females reported higher scores for the SC subscale of over-identification [t(272) = -3.84]. SC was significantly related to personal standards (r = -.26), concern over mistakes (r = -.33), perceived coach pressure (r = -.48), organization (r = -.21), and self-oriented perfectionism (r = -.22). The SMPS variables accounted for 27% of the variance in SC. SC was significantly predicted by the composite SMPS variables of personal standards perfectionism (r = -.26, ?= -.15) and evaluative concerns perfectionism (r = -.29, ? = -.22; R2 = .10). The MPS was a weak predictor of SC (R2 = .05). Since lower SC is associated with higher scores on perfectionism dimensions, implications during setbacks should be considered.
