Conclusions
• Competitions are emotionally intense experiences
• Participants tend to see competitions as a test of skill
rather than a calculated bet
• Competitions may influence well-being and future
choices of participants
• The PERMA model helps identify possible tweaks to
produce a more positive experience
Recommendations
• Aim for a reasonable success rate in your format
• Ensure a scrupulously fair assessment procedure
• Explain the rules of assessment
• Don’t keep them in the dark – hold a feedback
session, no matter how rudimentary
• Explain how failure is partly a matter of bad luck and
small details
