This study prospectively followed the experiences of skilled athletes who were involved in an innovative reflexive self-talk online intervention targeting goal-directed self-talk. Four experienced female athletes between the ages of 20 and 40 years were invited to an initial interview, a 4-week intervention, and two post-intervention interviews. Two applied sport psychologists used an online Socratic questioning approach to encourage their athletes to describe challenging scenarios, think about their use of self-talk and its effectiveness, and explore alternative self-statements that could be used in future situations. Data were multi-sourced stemming from the psychologists, athletes, and third parties (e.g., coach). Three athletes completed the intervention, whereas one athlete withdrew prematurely, mainly because the Socratic questioning approach and the online mode of delivery did not meet her preferences. From the three athlete who had completed the intervention, there was endorsement and constructive criticism of the intervention and its online delivery mode. The intervention, largely due to the accompanying raised awareness of self-talk use and refined content, seemingly benefited a range of variables including emotions, motivation, and confidence, both inside and outside of the athletes' sports life domain. Accordingly, this new type of online intervention warrants further consideration in the literature.
本研究前瞻性地跟踪了参与一项针对目标导向性自我对话的创新性反思性自我对话在线干预的优秀运动员的经历。邀请了4名年龄在20至40岁之间的经验丰富的女运动员参加一次初始访谈、为期4周的干预以及两次干预后访谈。两名应用运动心理学家采用在线苏格拉底式提问方法，鼓励她们的运动员描述具有挑战性的场景，思考她们对自我对话的使用及其有效性，并探索可用于未来情况的替代自我陈述。数据来源多样，来自心理学家、运动员和第三方（如教练）。3名运动员完成了干预，而1名运动员提前退出，主要是因为苏格拉底式提问方法和在线交付方式不符合她的偏好。在完成干预的3名运动员中，对干预及其在线交付方式既有认可也有建设性批评。该干预措施，很大程度上由于随之而来的对自我对话使用的认识提高和内容细化，似乎使包括情绪、动机和信心在内的一系列变量受益，无论是在运动员的运动生活领域之内还是之外。因此，这种新型的在线干预措施值得在文献中进一步探讨。
