The main aim of the present study was to examine the mediation effect of sport self-efficacy on the relationship between dimensions of perfectionism and competitive anxiety in a sample of Iranian athletes. 233 volunteer athletes (145 boys, 88 girls) from different sport fields participated in this study. All participants were required to complete the Competitive Perfectionism Scale (CPS), the Multidimensional Competitive Anxiety Questionnaire (MCAQ) and the Sport Self – Efficacy Scale (SSES). The results revealed that striving for perfection (positive perfectionism) was negatively associated with cognitive and somatic anxiety, and positively associated with self – confidence. The results also revealed that negative reaction to imperfection (negative perfectionism) was positively associated with cognitive and somatic anxiety, and negatively associated with self – confidence. Analysis of the data revealed that sport self – efficacy mediated the relationship between positive and negative dimensions of perfectionism and competitive anxiety.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate mental health status in physical education teachers (PET) and non-physical education teachers (NPET) based on demographic characteristics. 403 teachers consisting of 105 PETs and 298 NPETs from West Azerbaijan province were selected by multiphase cluster sampling method and completed mental health inventory (MHI). The results of the study revealed that PETs scored higher in psychological well-being than NPETs. Male teachers (PETs and NPETs) had higher scores in psychological well-being and lower scores in psychological distress than female teachers. Having a second job was negatively associated with psychological well-being in both PETs and NPETs. Married teachers showed lower psychological well-being than single teachers. Employed teachers had higher scores in psychological well-being than non-employed teachers. Male teachers who had an employed spouse showed lower psychological well-being than male teachers who had a non-employed spouse. No significant association was found between number of jobs, marital status, and employment status with psychological distress.
