“…The results of the research by Chotpitayasunondh and Turner (2019), in which a Thai language iPBI was validated, are in line with the current paper too, because eight items were omitted, and a number of omitted items are consistent with those omitted in the iPBI-Persian. However, in another study that examined the Psychometric Properties of the Turkish iPBI-2 (20 items; Urfa & Asci, 2018), results confirmed the validity and reliability of the 20-item, 4-factor structure of iPBI-2, which is not entirely consistent with our results. In other words, in our results six items from the original iPBI; were omitted, with only two items in common with the eight omitted to form the iPBI-2 (Turner & Allen, 2018).…”

This paper reports the development and initial validation of the Persian language Irrational Performance Beliefs Inventory (iPBI-Persian). The original iPBI was developed to provide a validated measure of the four core irrational beliefs of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) within performance-based samples, such as athletes. Data retrieved from 334 athletes (169 men, 165 women, Mage = 21.52 ± 4.00 years) were analyses using SPSS and LISREL software packages. After the linguistic and cross-cultural adaptation processes, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) results showed that six items did not have acceptable factor loadings. After removal of problem items, a 22-item version was developed (CFI = 0.96). The iPBI-Persian demonstrated excellent levels of reliability, with internal consistency and test–retest reliability, as well as construct validity. This paper indicates that the 22-item iPBI-Persian can be used as a self-assessment instrument to evaluate irrational performance beliefs in Iranian athlete samples.

“…A first limitation of our study is that the CFI value in terms of model fit indices did not reach the recommended limit of 0.95 ( Hu and Bentler, 1999 ). However, this is not unusual compared to the already established translated versions of the iPBI, which have CFI values between 0.90 and 0.92 (see Urfa and Aşçı, 2018 ; Chotpitayasunondh and Turner, 2019 ; an exception is the CFI with a value of 0.96 in the study by Nejati et al, 2021 ). Beyond that, all other indices are in an acceptable range and correspond to the values of the original measures ( Turner and Allen, 2018 : SRMR = 0.07, RMSEA = 0.07; Turner et al, 2018a : SRMR = 0.06, RMSEA = 0.07) and the already translated versions (Thai version: Chotpitayasunondh and Turner, 2019 : SRMR = 0.07, RMSEA = 0.07; Persian version: Nejati et al, 2021 : SRMR = 0.06, RMSEA = 0.06; Turkish version: Urfa and Aşçı, 2018 : RMR = 0.06, RMSEA = 0.07).…”

“…In the interest of measuring athlete IBs cross-culturally, several translations of the iPBI have been developed and tested for validity: Persian ( Nejati et al, 2021 ), Thai ( Chotpitayasunondh and Turner, 2019 ), and Turkish ( Urfa and Aşçı, 2018 ). However, to date, an assessment of IBs in German athletes has not been achieved, in part because no measure of IBs in German language has been developed and robustly tested.…”

In this article, we conducted the first meaningful study of irrational beliefs (IBs) in a German sample of athletes. Moreover, we investigated associations between IBs and potential general as well as sport-specific markers of mental health in German athletes. As general markers, we considered psychological distress and wellbeing in addition to IBs, and as sport-specific markers, we considered anxiety, perfectionism, and athletic identity. To achieve this, our first step was to translate and validate a specific measure of irrational beliefs, namely the Irrational Performance Beliefs Inventory (iPBI). The iPBI is a performance-relevant measure that captures specific IB, taking into account the situational circumstances of the target population, namely operators in different performance context (academia, sports, business, medicine, etc.). Its theoretical basis is largely Ellis’ work on rational and irrational beliefs. We developed a short and a long version of the iPBI, which both capture four core IBs (i.e., demandingness, awfulization, low frustration tolerance, and depreciation). Factorial validity was confirmed by a confirmatory factor analysis (comparative fit index = 0.92) with data from 234 athletes. Both versions of the newly developed iPBI showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.77) and retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficients >0.71). Results of the correlational analyses indicated low positive relationships between IBs and athletes’ psychological distress, and low negative relations between IBs and wellbeing. In terms of sport-specific markers, there were low to moderate correlations with IBs. This study also examined the differences in IBs between females and males, individual and team sport athletes, and across three different performance levels. Implications of these findings are discussed along with approaches for future research and applied work.

“…[8][9][10] Additionally, factors such as the desire of athletes to perform at a high level, the pressure of being liked by coaches and the environment, the influence of spectators, and material expectations are among the significant factors that affect athletes in the sports environment. 11 Along with irrational beliefs, athletes can display dysfunctional emotions and maladaptive behaviors. 12 Fundamentally, rational beliefs about negative events (e.g., failure, mistreatment, rejection) trigger adaptable emotional and behavioral responses to these adversities and are considered "protective factors".…”

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between irrational performance beliefs and anxiety levels in elite athletes. The research was conducted with the voluntary participation of 285 male and female elite athletes between the ages of 15 and 55, During the research process, athletes' irrational performance beliefs and anxiety levels in sports were investigated. For this purpose, the Irrational Performance Beliefs inventory-2 and the Sport Anxiety Scale-2 were used. Athletes' anxiety levels and irrational performance beliefs were examined considering gender and sport type variables. One-way ANOVA test was used for comparative analysis, and Pearson Correlation analysis was employed for relational examinations. The findings revealed that female athletes were more anxious. Furthermore, in the examination conducted based on sports disciplines, it was found that the differences between athletes' anxiety levels and irrational performance beliefs varied depending on the sport type. in the overall examination, significant relationships were found between athletes' anxiety levels and irrational performance beliefs. in conclusion, athletes' anxiety levels affect their irrational performance beliefs, and this relationship differs among genders and sports disciplines.
