The purposes of this study were to examine the association between controlling coach behaviours and athlete experiences of thriving and test the buffering effect of mental toughness on this relation.
A cross-sectional survey.
In total, 232 female netballers aged 11 to 17 years (14.97+1.52) with between 1 and 15 years of experience in their sport (7.50+2.28) completed measures of controlling coach interpersonal style, mental toughness and thriving.
Latent moderated structural models indicated that (i) controlling coach behaviours were inversely related with experiences of vitality and learning; (ii) mental toughness was positively associated with psychological experiences of both dimensions of thriving; and (iii) mental toughness moderated the effect of coach's controlling interpersonal style on learning but not vitality experiences, such that the effect was weaker for individuals who reported higher levels of mental toughness.
This study extends past work and theory to show that mental toughness may enable athletes to counteract the potentially deleterious effect of controlling coach interpersonal styles.
本研究旨在探讨控制性教练行为与运动员蓬勃发展体验之间的关联,并检验心理韧性对这种关系的缓冲作用。
横断面调查。
共有232名年龄在11至17岁(平均14.97岁,标准差1.52)、从事该项运动1至15年(平均7.50年,标准差2.28)的女子无挡板篮球运动员完成了关于控制性教练人际风格、心理韧性和蓬勃发展的测量。
潜在调节结构模型表明:(i)控制性教练行为与活力和学习体验呈负相关;(ii)心理韧性与蓬勃发展两个维度的心理体验呈正相关;(iii)心理韧性调节了教练控制性人际风格对学习的影响,但对活力体验没有调节作用,即对于心理韧性水平较高的个体,这种影响较弱。
本研究扩展了以往的研究和理论,表明心理韧性可能使运动员能够抵消控制性教练人际风格的潜在有害影响。
