Abstract

The aim of this research is the analysis of the influences of dimensions such as perfectionism and expression anger on self-esteem, pillar on which personality is built. 229 athletes, male, football (N = 130) and basketball players (N = 99), aged between 13 and 17 years (M = 14.43; DS = 1.367), took part in this research. Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS), State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI-NA), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) and socio-demographic questionnaires were distributed. The results of correlational analyses show how the dimensions of maladaptive perfectionism are associated with lower self-esteem; in contrast, some dimensions of maladaptive perfectionism were found. Anger feature dimension is correlated in reverse order to self-esteem. Moreover, the indicators of adaptative perfectionism –Organization and Personal Standards- associate a higher sense of self-steem; as opposed to maladaptive perfectionist tendencies. The evaluation of such variables in sports allows to design prevention programs health and/or stimulation of adaptive behaviors for team sports.
