ATIENZA, F et al. Validation of the Spanish version of multidimensional inventory of perfectionism in young footballers. CPD [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.1, pp.118-129.  Epub 29-Jun-2020. ISSN 1989-5879.

The Multidimensional Inventory of Perfectionism in Sport (MIPS) is one sport specific measure of perfectionism developed on the basis of a combination of different multidimensional models. This study assesses the psychometrics of the MIPS in a Spanish sample of young footballers. Participants were 429 Spanish football players with ages ranging from 9 to 13 years. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that a two-dimensional model obtained adequate fit indices and Cronbach's alpha coefficients showed acceptable levels of internal reliability. The criterion and convergent validity of the Spanish MIPS analysed in young footballers was also confirmed via its association with measures of sport anxiety, contingent self-worth and additional perfectionism dimensions. The results of this study suggest that the Spanish version of the MIPS to be used with young footballers is a well-adapted and adequate, reliable and valid sport specific instrument.
