The present study examined relationships between golfers' self-perceived emotions (e.g., irritability, nervousness, tension), task-oriented coping, perceived control, and performance during a golf competition. We implemented a process-oriented golf analysis in which competitors rated these variables hole-by-hole in a competitive golf round. Within a two-level Bayesian multivariate autoregressive model, we showed that (a) within persons, emotions and task-oriented coping were that stemmed from performance on the previous hole; and (b) between persons, player predicted both better scores and the ability to limit the influence of negative affect on performance. These findings highlight the complex nature of the relationship between emotions and performance. Future studies might use a similarly ecologically valid research design to more precisely measure aspects of time and potentially moderating effects of player skill level and personality. An increased understanding of the dynamic relationship between emotions and performance can promote the development of effective psychological interventions for optimal performance outcomes.
本研究考察了高尔夫球手自我感知情绪（如易怒、紧张、紧张）、任务导向应对、感知控制与高尔夫比赛表现之间的关系。我们实施了一种面向过程的高尔夫球分析，其中竞争者在一场竞争激烈的高尔夫球比赛中逐洞评估这些变量。在一个两级贝叶斯多元自回归模型中，我们表明：（a）在个体内部，情绪和任务导向应对受到前一洞表现的影响；（b）在个体之间，球员表现预测了更好的成绩和限制负面情绪对表现影响的能力。这些发现突出了情绪和表现之间关系的复杂性。未来的研究可能会使用类似的生态有效研究设计来更精确地测量时间的各个方面，并可能调节球员技能水平和个性的影响。对情绪和表现之间动态关系的深入了解可以促进制定有效的心理干预措施，以实现最佳表现结果。
