Abstract
Feelings of competence play a key role in youth athletes' sport experiences and behaviors. Although competence is affected by both contextual and personal characteristics, most studies have focused on the role of either context or athletes' personality in competence. To study competence from a Person-x-Context perspective, the current experimental field study examined the unique and interactive role of self-critical perfectionism and normative feedback in youth competitive tennis players' (N = 59, M-age = 15.47, SD = 1.63) competence need satisfaction and subsequent tension and enjoyment. Participants first filled out a measure of self-critical perfectionism and then performed a series of tennis exercises, presented as a competition in which their results were compared to an interpersonal standard. Positive, compared to negative, normative feedback enhanced competence need satisfaction, while self-critical perfectionism yielded a negative relation. Both predictors interacted such that self-critical perfectionism exacerbated the impact of negative normative feedback on competence. In turn, competence played an intervening role in the association between normative feedback and self-critical perfectionism on the one hand, and players experienced enjoyment and tension on the other hand. Overall, the results testify to the importance of studying competence dynamics from a Person-x-Context perspective.
