This article explores the multifaceted nature of the individual motivations behind engaging in competition. In doing so, we investigate the theoretical and empirical links between general trait competitiveness and the three competitive attitudes: personal development, hypercompetition, and competition avoidant, as moderated by core self-evaluation. Findings indicate that it is not merely the level of general trait competitiveness that influences an individuals attitude towards competing, but heightened levels of core self-evaluation decrease the neurotic and unhealthy competitive attitudes of hypercompetitive and competition avoidant individuals. We discuss the implications for these relationships.
本文探讨了参与竞争背后个体动机的多面性。在此过程中，我们研究了一般特质竞争力与三种竞争态度（个人发展、过度竞争和回避竞争）之间的理论和实证联系，并以核心自我评价作为调节变量。研究结果表明，影响个体竞争态度的不仅仅是一般特质竞争力的水平，而且核心自我评价水平的提高会降低过度竞争和回避竞争个体的神经质和不健康的竞争态度。我们讨论了这些关系的意义。
