Perfectionistic tipping points: Re-probing interactive effects of perfectionism.

Researchers have recently turned their attention to examining interactive effects of dimensions perfectionism in sport and exercise. This is typified by research testing the 2 × model (Gaudreau & Thompson, 2010) use simple slopes analysis probe statistically significant interactions. The aim this study illustrate a different approach interactions, Johnson-Neyman (J-N) technique, how it can identify specific level evaluative concerns at which effect personal standards changes (termed perfectionistic tipping point). To meet aim, secondary was undertaken three samples that previously provided evidence interactions between predicting devaluation, dedication, enthusiasm, expressive suppression. Using J-N points were identified whereby conditional PSP became for each outcome low-to-moderate levels ECP. In case, ECP outside tested making useful complementary information. Based on findings, recommended researchers report when probing perfectionism, generally.
