In this study, we examined the role of confidence in relation to the cognitive, affective, and behavioural responses it elicits, and identified the factors responsible for debilitating confidence within the organizational subculture of world-class sport. Using Vealey's (2001) integrative model of sport confidence as a broad conceptual base, 14 athletes (7 males, 7 females) were interviewed in response to the research aims. Analysis indicated that high sport confidence facilitated performance through its positive effect on athletes' thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. However, the athletes participating in this study were susceptible to factors that served to debilitate their confidence. These factors appeared to be associated with the sources from which they derived their confidence and influenced to some extent by gender. Thus, the focus of interventions designed to enhance sport confidence must reflect the individual needs of the athlete, and might involve identifying an athlete's sources and types of confidence, and ensuring that these are intact during competition preparation phases.
在这项研究中，我们考察了信心在引发认知、情感和行为反应方面的作用，并确定了在世界级体育组织亚文化中导致信心减弱的因素。以 Vealey（2001）的运动信心综合模型为广泛的概念基础，我们对 14 名运动员（7 名男性，7 名女性）进行了访谈，以回应研究目的。分析表明，高运动信心通过对运动员的思想、感受和行为产生积极影响，从而促进表现。然而，参与这项研究的运动员容易受到削弱他们信心的因素的影响。这些因素似乎与他们获得信心的来源有关，并在一定程度上受到性别影响。因此，旨在增强运动信心的干预措施的重点必须反映运动员的个体需求，并且可能涉及确定运动员的信心来源和类型，并确保在比赛准备阶段保持信心完整。
