The relationship between perfectionism – perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns – and athleticperformance is contested and inconsistent. The present study explored the possibility that one explanation forthis inconsistency is the assumption that the relationship is linear. In two samples, we tested alternative non-linear relationships between perfectionism and real-world competitive athletic performance. Sample onecomprised 165 Swedish track and field athletes (57 % competing in female category, 42 % in male category;Mage = 16.93 years) and sample two comprised 157 British track and field athletes (55 % competing in femalecategory, 43 % in male category; Mage = 18.42 years). Testing for linear and non-linear relationships, we found aquadratic effect whereby higher perfectionistic strivings had both positive increasing (i.e., U-shape; sample 1)and positive decreasing (i.e., inverted U-shape; sample 2) relationships with performance. We conclude thatthere may be circumstances when perfectionistic strivings contribute to better and worse sport performance, andthat this relationship can be curvilinear.

1. Rice and colleagues in the Journal of the National Medical Association (2023) reported on a study examining the experience of impostor syndrome among students who are underrepresented in their discipline. Impostor syndrome is a common experience, referring to a feeling of intellectual inadequacy and worries that one may be discovered as an intellectual fraud. These concerns are typically unwarranted and can get in the way of students reaching their potential. Let’s imagine a study similar to Rice and colleagues where students from the School of Medicine and the School of Psychological Sciences were assessed on their level of impostor syndrome using the Harvey Impostor Phenomenon Scale. In both Schools, a group of first year and a group of fourth year students took part in the study. Every participant was also asked as to whether they felt that they were part of a cultural group that was underrepresented in their particular discipline, and they were categorised as being from a well-represented group or an under-represented group. ii.
