Book Emotion Regulation and Coping as Mediators of the Association Between Perfectionism and Self esteem in Athletes Compared to Non athletes and Honors Students

Download or read book Emotion Regulation and Coping as Mediators of the Association Between Perfectionism and Self esteem in Athletes Compared to Non athletes and Honors Students written by Hollie Minichiello and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased levels of perfectionism have been shown to be associated with increased levels of burnout, feelings of depression, heightened levels of anxiety, decreased self-esteem, and hindered overall performance. The current study aimed to investigate whether coping mechanisms and emotion regulation mediate the association between perfectionism and self-esteem in athletes compared to non-athletes and honors students. Four hundred ninety-three primarily white (n = 60.0 %), female (n = 83.0 %), psychology major, participants aged 18-49, completed a series of questionnaires including: the Self-Esteem Implicit Association Test (Greenwald et al., 2002), the Self-liking and Self-Competence Scale (Tafarodi & Swann Jr, 1995), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006), the Coping Function Questionnaire (Kowalski & Crocker, 2001), and the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (Hewitt et al., 1991). If participants engaged in competitive athletics, they answered questions from the Sport Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (Dunn et al., 2006). An ANOVA examined mean differences in all scales between groups, which indicated significant differences in self-oriented perfectionism, socially prescribed perfectionism, and adaptive coping mechanisms. Athletes scored significantly lower than honors students in self-oriented perfectionism (p = .019, d = .30). Additionally, non-athletes scored significantly lower than honors students in self-oriented perfectionism (p = .030, d = .31). Athletes scored significantly lower than honors students in socially prescribed perfectionism (p = .014, d = .29). Further, athletes scored significantly higher than both non-athletes (p = .040, d =.24), and honors students (p = .015, d = .32) in adaptive coping. There were no other significant group differences. Model 4 mediation in PROCESS macro for SPSS was used to examine the relationship between perfectionism and self-esteem. Greater self-oriented perfectionism predicted lower self-liking and self-competence through maladaptive emotion regulation techniques, -.145, 95% CI [-.031, -.012], -.008, 95% CI [-.011, -.004]. Greater socially prescribed perfectionism also predicted lower self-liking and self-competence through maladaptive and adaptive emotion regulation techniques, -.021, 95% CI [-.029, -.013], -.-.008, 95% CI [-.011, -.005], -.004, 95% CI [-.007, -.001], -.001, 95% CI [-.003, -.000]. No other pathways from socially prescribed or self-oriented perfectionism to implicit self-esteem were significant. Given that many individuals have participated in high-stress activities like athletics or academics, the lasting impacts of prolonged pressure can lead to negative self-views and should be further researched.

Book Relationships Between Mental Skills and Competitive Anxiety Interpretation in Open Skill and Close Skill Athletes

Download or read book Relationships Between Mental Skills and Competitive Anxiety Interpretation in Open Skill and Close Skill Athletes written by Sharyn J. Aufenanger and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers have garnered interest in the directional component of anxiety in addition to the intensity level, where athletes may view anxiety symptoms as facilitative or debilitative towards performance. Further, athletes in different types of sport may utilize specific mental skills in order to assist in their interpretation of anxiety symptoms. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between mental skills and interpretation of anxiety in athletes participating in open versus close skill sport. Eighty-eight open skill athletes and 40 close skill athletes completed the modified CSAI-2 and OMSAT-3. The results indicated that open and close skill athletes differed in intensity, but not interpretation, of somatic anxiety and self-confidence. Several mental skills were predictive of athletes' interpretation of anxiety and self-confidence as facilitative to their performance. Also, open and close skill athletes differed in how their mental skills related to intensity of anxiety and self-confidence.

After calculating means and standard deviations for each measure, a multiple regression was run. A two-way ANOVA was used to determine differences between sport and gender. The results of the study indicated there was no effect of gender for trait anxiety, cognitive and somatic state anxiety or gender. A significant main effect was found between gender and self-confidence. There was no effect of gender for life stress. There was no effect of sport for cognitive state anxiety, somatic state anxiety, self-confidence, or life stress. The CSAI-2 self-confidence showed no significant difference between sport. No significant relationships were noted between injury score and any of the independent variables.
