The Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (PFAI) was developed to address the need for a multidimensional measure of worries associated with fear of failure (FF). Eighty-nine items were written to sample 10 domains of potentially aversive consequences of failure identified in a qualitative study of emotional responses to failure and success. High school and college-aged students and athletes (<italic>N</italic> = 408) completed the PFAI, and measures of trait anxiety, achievement goals, and social desirability. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to generate and cross-validate a 41-item, internally-consistent, correlated, five-factor model of PFAI scores comprising fears of (a) experiencing shame and embarrassment, (b) having an uncertain future, (c) losing social influence, (d) upsetting important others, and (e) devaluing one's self-estimate. Individual scales demonstrated exceptional factorial validity and collectively the scales provided a close to reasonable fit to the complete covariance matrix. Evidence was provided for convergent and discriminant validity of PFAI score interpretations in relation to measures of trait anxiety, achievement goal orientations, and social desirability. Based on a discriminant function analysis, PFAI scores correctly classified 76.5% of participants based on their perceptions of whether they were underachieving or not. Developmental hypotheses were tested using Benjamin's Structural Analysis of Social Behavior system. Participants rated (a) their relationships with their mother and father figures between ages 5–10, (b) their relationship with their most significant coach or teacher after they failed, (c) their introject during failure, (d) the introject they wished for during failure, and (e) the introject they feared during failure. In parent-child and significant instructor-participant relationships FF was significantly associated with the presence of hostile communications and the absence of friendly, attachment-group communications (although the effects were not as strong as the effects in the parent-child relationship). FF was most strongly related to hostile introjects during failure. FF also was correlated with (a) fears of not being self-affirming, self-loving, or self-protecting, and (b) both to wishes and fears of being self-blaming, self-attacking, and self-neglecting. Results supported an attachment-based theory of FF.
