Adaptation of the Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory PFAI into Turkish
Abstract
The present study aimed atevaluate the psychometric properties of the 25-item Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory PFAI , developed by Conroy, 2001, for Turkish middle school students to assess their fear of failure. The Turkish version of the PFAI was administered to two independent samples. Sample 1 consisted of 211 and sample 2 consisted of 977 middle school students. Confirmatory factor analyses supported fivefactor structure of Turkish version of the PFAI. Reliabilities were deemed acceptable. In addition, the five-factor PFAI was found to be invariant across gender. MANOVA results revealed small to no significant gender differences with respect to the PFAI sub-scale scores. Besides that, the canonical correlation analysis suggests that mastery avoidance, performance avoidance and performance approach goals are positively related to all dimensions of fear of failure. Although, mastery approach goals have a relationship between fear of shame and embarrassment and fear of having uncertain future, the strength of the relationship was small
