Mood profiling has a long history in the field of sport and exercise. Several novel mood profile clusters were identified and described in the literature recently (Parsons-Smith et al., 2017). In the present study, we investigated whether the same clusters were evident in an Italian-language, sport and exercise context. The Italian Mood Scale (ITAMS; Quartiroli et al., 2017) was administered to 950 Italian-speaking sport participants (659 females, 284 males, 7 unspecified; age range = 16-63 year, = 25.03, = 7.62) and seeded -means clustering methodology applied to the responses. Six distinct mood profiles were identified, termed the iceberg, inverse iceberg, inverse Everest, shark fin, surface, and submerged profiles, which closely resembled those reported among English-speaking participants (Parsons-Smith et al., 2017). Significant differences were found in the distribution of specific mood profiles across gender and age groups. Findings supported the cross-cultural generalizability of the six mood profiles and offer new research avenues into their antecedents, correlates and behavioral consequences in Italian-language contexts.
情绪剖析在体育与运动领域有着悠久的历史。最近文献中确定并描述了几个新的情绪剖析集群（帕森斯 - 史密斯等人，2017年）。在本研究中，我们调查了在意大利语的体育与运动背景下是否也存在同样的集群。我们对950名讲意大利语的体育参与者（659名女性，284名男性，7名未明确性别；年龄范围 = 16 - 63岁，平均年龄 = 25.03岁，标准差 = 7.62）进行了意大利语情绪量表（ITAMS；夸蒂罗利等人，2017年）测试，并将K均值聚类方法应用于测试结果。我们识别出了六种不同的情绪剖析类型，分别称为冰山型、倒置冰山型、倒置珠穆朗玛峰型、鲨鱼鳍型、表面型和淹没型，它们与英语参与者中报告的类型非常相似（帕森斯 - 史密斯等人，2017年）。我们发现特定情绪剖析类型在性别和年龄组中的分布存在显著差异。研究结果支持了这六种情绪剖析类型的跨文化普遍性，并为在意大利语背景下研究它们的前因、相关性和行为后果提供了新的研究途径。
