This research aimed to investigate the relationship between perfectionism,self-esteem,and competitive anxiety among university athletes. More specifically,the study examined the relationship between perceived coach pressure,self-esteem,and competitive anxiety. Additionally,it examined the relationship between specific personality traits,and self-esteem in university athletes. Ninety-nine 99) university athletes participated in this study and completed a series of measures. The measures included the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale RSES),Sport State Self-Esteem Scale Sport-SSES),Sport Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale Sport-MPS),Sport Competitive Anxiety Test SCAT) and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory NEO-FFI). The results of Pearson r correlations evidenced no statistically significant correlations between perceived coach pressure,self-esteem and competitive anxiety in the population sample. When perfectionism subscales were further examined,a statistically significant correlation was found between low self-esteem and maladaptive perfectionism,specifically the concern over mistakes and personal standards. A statistically significant correlation was also found between high sport competitive anxiety and low sport state self-esteem. There was no statistically significant correlation between sport competitive anxiety and global self-esteem. As well,there was no statistically significant correlation between sport competitive anxiety and overall perfectionism. In this present study,the athletes who were high in extroversion were high in perfectionistic tendencies as well as high in global and state self-esteem. Furthermore the athletes scoring high in neuroticism also scored high in overall perfectionism and low in self-esteem. The agreeableness personality trait was found to be correlated with high global self-esteem,however statistically significant correlations were not found between the conscientiousness and openness personality factors and the other variables investigated in this study.
