The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the motivational climate created by the coach and perceived by a group of young, high-performance handball players on their fear of failure and precompetitive anxiety. The study participants were 479 young handball players. The age range was 16-17 years old. Players were administered a battery composed of a Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire, a Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory, and Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2R, to measure the aforementioned theoretical constructs. Using structural equation modelling (SEM), the results showed that the handball players experienced high levels task-involving climate and moderate values of self-confidence. In contrast, players experienced lower levels of ego-involving climate, fear of failure, and cognitive and somatic anxiety. The obtained model shows that fear of failure positively mediates the association between an ego-involving climate with both cognitive and somatic anxiety, and negatively in terms of self-confidence. In contrast, fear of failure does not mediate the associations between a task-involving climate and both somatic and cognitive anxiety and self-confidence.
本研究旨在探讨教练所营造的动机氛围以及一群年轻的高水平手球运动员对失败恐惧和赛前焦虑的感知对他们的影响。研究参与者为 479 名年轻的手球运动员，年龄在 16-17 岁之间。参与者接受了一套由运动感知动机氛围问卷、表现失败评估量表和竞赛状态焦虑量表-2R 组成的测试，以测量上述理论结构。使用结构方程模型（SEM），结果表明，手球运动员经历了高水平的任务卷入型氛围和适度的自信水平。相比之下，运动员经历了较低水平的自我卷入型氛围、失败恐惧以及认知和躯体焦虑。所得模型表明，失败恐惧对自我卷入型氛围与认知和躯体焦虑之间的关联具有正向中介作用，对自信具有负向中介作用。相比之下，失败恐惧不能中介任务卷入型氛围与认知和躯体焦虑以及自信之间的关联。
