“…These findings align with those of several studies that have reported more adaptive relations between features of PS (and more maladaptive relations between features of PC) and autonomous forms of motivation. 15,51 While residual PSP has a favourable effect on athletes' self-determined motives, residual CMP is accompanied by less desirable, non-self-determined motives. There was also evidence of an indirect effect linking residual PSP with SDM via MT, providing preliminary support for the partial mediating mechanism of MT.…”

An extensive body of research has been done on the links between perfectionism and motivation, yet the underlying mechanisms linking these psychological characteristics have been underexplored. In this study, we used an integrative modelling approach to examine associations between dimensions of perfectionism (i.e. personal standards [PSP] and concerns over mistakes [CMP]), mental toughness (MT) and motivational orientations (i.e. self-determined motivation [SDM] and non-self-determined motivation [NSDM]). Based on a sample of 318 male (n=218) and female (n=100) tennis players (M age =17.61, SD age =2.41), fit indices derived from structural equation modelling supported a partially mediated model. Residual PSP associated positively with MT (β=0.74) and SDM (β=0.40), and negatively with NSDM (β=-0.22). Conversely, residual CMP associated negatively with MT (β=-0.14) and SDM (β=-0.19), and positively with NSDM (β=0.73). Mental toughness was positively associated with SDM (β=0.28), but was unrelated to NSDM (β=0.07). The relationship between residual PSP and SDM was partially mediated by MT (standardised indirect effect: 95% CI=0.19, 0.46). The findings of this study support research linking dimensions of perfectionism with motivational orientations and offer preliminary evidence on the mediating role of MT in the association between these psychological constructs. With emerging research supporting the capacity to develop MT through targeted interventions, the findings are discussed alongside salient implications.

“…This is relevant to the context of the re-sults presented insofar that the higher the level of positive perfectionism in a person, the higher is his/her desire to give their best performance and the higher is the possibility of elite performance in sports (Gould, Dieffenbach, & Moffett, 2002). Some athletes, however, show detrimental perfectionistic tendencies in exercise performance and in disordered eating (Hill, Mallinson-Howard, & Jowett, 2018). One study found that a striving for perfectionism combined with narcissism predicted a greater degree of exercise dependence (Miller & Mesagno, 2014).…”

“…Há também um grande risco de comportamentos obsessivos e transtornos alimentares entre artistas, por conta de uma estrutura corporal muito específica que deve ser alcançada e mantida em determinadas ocupações (Hays, 2002). É importante enfatizar que, ao contrário do que pode se pensar no senso comum, o perfeccionismo e a obsessão não são necessariamente adaptativos em contextos de alta performance, uma vez que a inflexibilidade e comportamentos autodestrutivos estão associados a esses traços (Hill, Mallinson--Howard, & Jowett, 2018;Hill, Witcher, Gotwals, & Leyland, 2015).…”

Resumo Historicamente, a Psicologia do Esporte e do Exercício esteve majoritariamente direcionada aos esportes organizados. No entanto, há psicólogos do esporte que adaptam as técnicas e conceitos desta área a demais contextos da performance humana, o que exige uma melhor compreensão sobre as implicações teórico-práticas destas iniciativas. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma análise crítica sobre esta tendência, baseada em estudos teóricos e empíricos sobre Psicologia da Performance. O conceito de Psicologia da Performance pode representar uma unidade existente entre as pesquisas e intervenções direcionadas a diversas atividades humanas. Ao expandir seu escopo, a Psicologia do Esporte dá origem a uma Psicologia da Performance, auxiliando diferentes * Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul -UFRGS. grupos de pessoas que atuam rotineiramente na busca por níveis máximos de desempenho. Através de uma análise temática de documentos-semente sobre o tema, identificou-se que os principais setores para estas aplicações são: (1) o desenvolvimento pessoal; (2) o mundo empresarial; (3) o mundo artístico; e (4) as forças armadas. Compreender como essa área está se constituindo e os contextos de sua aplicação pode contribuir para a ampliação do campo de trabalho do psicólogo do esporte e para a expansão da psicologia do esporte, especialmente no contexto brasileiro. Palavras-chave: Psicologia do esporte; Psicologia da Performance; Prática profissional; Inovação. AbstractHistorically, the Sport and Exercise Psychology has been mostly oriented to organized sports. However, there are sports psychologists who adapt concepts and techniques of this area to several contexts of human performance, which requires a better understanding of the theoretical and practical implications of these enterprises. The purpose of this article is to present a critical analysis of this trend, based on theoretical and empirical studies about Performance Psychology. The concept of Performance Psychology may represent an existing unity between research and interventions on different human activities. By expanding its scope, Sport Psychology gives rise to Performance Psychology, which makes it possible to assist several groups of people that routinely seek maximum levels of performance. Through a thematic analysis of seed documents on the subject, it was identified that the main sectors for these applications are: (1) personal development; (2) the business world; (3) the artistic world; and (4) the military. Understanding the contexts of application and how this area is being constituted may contribute to the expansion of Sport Psychology field, as well as the expansion of work possibilities of sports psychologists, especially in the Brazilian context.
