Every year, many university athletes find themselves experiencing sports injuries while practicing their sport. Not all athletes are equal to each other, and some get injured more often. Individual differences in personality could explain these differences. This study focuses on how within-person combinations of perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns are associated with the risk of traumatic injury in university athletes. Two most prominent person-oriented approaches of perfectionism (the tripartite and 2x2 models) were tested in a retrospective (N=143) and a prospective (N=98) sample. Cluster analyses identified perfectionism profiles consistent with the two theoretical models in both samples. Furthermore, the profile with high levels of perfectionistic strivings and concerns was found to be the most at risk of experiencing a traumatic injury using both designs. This study supports the tripartite model of perfectionism in recognizing the exacerbating role of perfectionistic strivings on the maladaptive effect of perfectionistic concerns. Coaches and sports specialists will need to consider monitoring athletes' levels of PC, especially in conjunction with high PS levels, to reduce the risk of injury in athletes.
每年，许多大学生运动员在练习运动时都会遭遇运动损伤。并非所有运动员都是平等的，有些运动员受伤的频率更高。人格的个体差异可以解释这些差异。本研究关注的是个体内部的完美主义追求和完美主义担忧的组合如何与大学生运动员创伤性损伤的风险相关。在回顾性（N=143）和前瞻性（N=98）样本中测试了两种最突出的个体导向的完美主义方法（三分模型和 2x2 模型）。聚类分析在两个样本中都发现了与两种理论模型一致的完美主义模式。此外，在使用两种设计时，发现具有较高水平的完美主义追求和担忧的模式最容易经历创伤性损伤。这项研究支持完美主义的三分模型，认识到完美主义追求对完美主义担忧的适应不良效应的加剧作用。教练和运动专家将需要考虑监测运动员的 PC 水平，特别是与高 PS 水平一起，以降低运动员受伤的风险。
