This study documents how cultural sport narratives influence athletic team member sensemaking during concussion events. Analysis of macro-level sport culture narratives and interviews ( = 93) with collegiate athletes and athletic trainers from eleven large universities within the United States revealed that participants utilized five cultural sport narratives when making sense of a concussion event (i.e., , and ). These narratives functioned in two specific ways as athletic team members made sense of concussion events (i.e., as extracted cues and identity defenses). The study presents the concept of labeling avoidance (e.g., avoiding a formal concussion diagnosis) to describe how athletes retrospectively rationalized their non-disclosure of a severe head impact. Theoretical and practical implications of the study findings are discussed.
本研究记录了文化体育叙事如何影响运动员在脑震荡事件中的意义建构。对美国 11 所大型大学的大学生运动员和运动训练师的宏观体育文化叙事分析和访谈（=93）表明，参与者在理解脑震荡事件时使用了五种文化体育叙事（即，，和）。当运动员团队成员理解脑震荡事件时，这些叙事以两种特定的方式发挥作用（即，作为提取线索和身份防御）。该研究提出了“避免标记”的概念（例如，避免正式的脑震荡诊断）来描述运动员如何回溯性地合理化他们对严重头部撞击的隐瞒。讨论了研究结果的理论和实践意义。
