On the measurement of achievement goals: critique, illustration, and application (2008, methodology): “The five-item short form of Conroy’s (2001) Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory was used as an indicator of fear of failure (sample item: “When I am failing, I worry about what others think about me”). Several studies have demonstrated the construct validity of this measure (see Conroy & Elliot,”
Cognitive Links Between Fear Of Failure And Perfectionism (2007, unknown): “shame and embarrassment, (b) devaluing one’s self-estimate, (c) having an uncertain future, (d) having important others lose interest, and (e) upsetting important others ( Conroy, 2001; Conroy, Poczwardowski, & Henschen, 2001; Conroy, Willow, & Metzler, 2002).”
Fear and Entrepreneurship: A Review and Research Agenda (2015, unknown): “(1969) and their elaboration of different worries or dimensions associated with the fear of failure (Conroy 2001b).”
Further Investigating Method Effects Associated With Negatively Worded Items on Self-Report Surveys (2006, background): “The notion that a response style operates across measures of distinct content traits has been supported by studies, for example, of social physique anxiety (Motl & Conroy, 2000; Motl et al., 2000), self-motivation (Motl, Dishman, Felton, & Pate, 2003), and fear of failure (Conroy, 2001).”
The Unique Psychological Meanings of Multidimensional Fears of Failing (2004, methodology): “Three previous studies revealed that PFAI scores have demonstrated acceptable factorial validity (including invariance across groups and time), temporal stability, and internal consistency (α ranges from .73 to .87 for the appraisal scales; Conroy, 2001; Conroy et al., 2002).”
Longitudinal Invariance of Self-Esteem and Method Effects Associated With Negatively Worded Items (2002, background): “The notion that a response style operates across measures of distinct content traits has been supported by previous studies of self-esteem (Tomás & Oliver, 1999), social physique anxiety (Motl et al., 2000), and fear of failure (Conroy, 2002).”
Advances in test anxiety research (2004, background): “Consequently, advances in test anxiety research may also come to light when exploring advances in research on fear of failure (e.g., Conroy, 2001).”
Multidimensional Fear of Failure Measurement: The Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (2002, methodology): “The relationships between the five factors used to summarize these items could be modeled with a single higher-order factor representing general FF.”
Fear of failure and achievement goals in sport: Addressing the issue of the chicken and the egg (2004, background): “It holds that FF results when beliefs or cognitive schemas about aversive consequences of failing are activated by situations in which failure is possible.”
