This research is a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group. In this study, 60 students who met the criteria of social anxiety were randomly divided into three groups of 20, including two experimental groups and a control group. All three groups were assessed with Social Anxiety Questionnaire of Connor (2000), Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale-Brief Form of Leary (1983), Focus of Attention Questionnaire of Woody & et al (1997) and Levels of Self-Criticism Scale of Thompson & Zuroff (2004). After 12 sessions of 2 hours of cognitive-behavioral group therapy and psychodrama intervention separately in the experimental groups and nonintervention in the control group, Cognitive variables were assessed again.

In this cross-sectional study, 258 elite athletes (M= 22.05 years, SD= 3.08; 148 male) participated and completed scales of multidimensional perfectionism, athlete burnout and coaching style. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics by structural equation modeling. The results indicate that direct paths perfectionism to burnout, perfectionism to coaching style, coaching style to burnout, and indirect pathways to perfectionism to burnout were mediating by coaching style, significant. The results indicate that during the COVID 19, athletes who are less able to organize performance standards and expectations of themselves and others, and who are more committed to meeting external demands, are at higher risk of burnout. One could develop coach-education programmes that challenge beliefs regarding the effectiveness of controlling coaching behaviors to reduce perfectionist tendencies and expectations in athletes. In doing so, one might curtail the risk of burnout in athlete during the COVID 19. Manuscript profile
