A prevalence of negative psychological and physical effects (e.g., anxiety, depression, eating disorders; see Conroy, 2001; Sagar et al., 2007) have been associated with high fear of failure. Limited sport-related research has associated fear of failure with anxiety, worry (cognitive and somatic; Conroy et al., 2002), avoidance goals (Conroy & Elliot, 2004), impaired interpersonal behavior and sporting performance (Sagar et al., 2009), drug abuse (Anshel, 1991), and dropout from sport (Orlick, 1974). Together, these studies indicate the negative consequences of fear of failure.
