The purpose of this study was to examine relations among reinvestment, self-regulation, and perception of choking under pressure in skilled tennis players. Participants were 160 collegiate players from the NCAA Division I in the U.S. and the 1st League in Japan. Participants completed questionnaires assessing reinvestment (conscious motor processing and movement self-consciousness), self-regulation, and perception of choking under pressure. Results of correlation analysis indicated self-regulatory factors were positively related to reinvestment conscious motor processing, but not with reinvestment movement self-consciousness. Self-efficacy and movement self-consciousness of reinvestment were found to predict one's perception of choking under pressure. Results of simultaneous entry multiple regression revealed that tennis players who had low self-efficacy and were concerned about making a good impression with their movements were more likely to perceive that they choked during tennis matches. Additionally, Japanese players reported less self-regulation skills and a higher perception of choking under pressure than American players, suggesting the need for additional research on cross-cultural differences. Overall, these results suggest that self-efficacy may protect athletes from choking, but movement self-consciousness may lead athletes to choke during tennis games.
本研究的目的是考察高水平网球运动员在压力下的再投资、自我调节与窒息感认知之间的关系。参与者包括来自美国NCAA一级联赛和日本甲级联赛的160名大学生球员。参与者完成了评估再投资(有意识的运动加工和运动自我意识)、自我调节以及压力下窒息感认知的问卷。相关分析结果表明,自我调节因素与再投资有意识运动加工呈正相关,但与再投资运动自我意识无关。研究发现,再投资的自我效能感和运动自我意识能够预测个体在压力下的窒息感认知。同时进入多元回归分析的结果显示,自我效能感低且担心自己的动作给人留下好印象的网球运动员,在网球比赛中更有可能感觉到自己发挥失常。此外,日本球员报告的自我调节技能较少,且在压力下的窒息感认知高于美国球员,这表明需要对跨文化差异进行更多研究。总体而言,这些结果表明自我效能感可能会保护运动员避免发挥失常,但运动自我意识可能会导致运动员在网球比赛中发挥失常。
