The primary purpose of this article is to review the literature on para sport athletic identity and provide avenues for future research direction. First, the authors briefly describe the existing quantitative and qualitative research on para sport athletic identity and, thereby, illustrate the complexities para sport athletes experience regarding the way they describe their participation in competitive sport. Next, the authors describe how para sport athletes with acquired permanent disabilities and congenital disabilities face similar, yet unique, identity-related challenges. Finally, the authors argue that future researchers should consider examining para sport athletes' identity through narrative identity.
本文的主要目的是回顾关于残奥运动运动员身份认同的文献,并为未来的研究方向提供途径。首先,作者简要描述了关于残奥运动运动员身份认同的现有定量和定性研究,从而说明了残奥运动运动员在描述他们参与竞技运动的方式时所经历的复杂性。接下来,作者描述了后天永久性残疾和先天性残疾的残奥运动运动员如何面临相似但又独特的与身份认同相关的挑战。最后,作者认为未来的研究人员应该考虑通过叙事身份来研究残奥运动运动员的身份认同。
