Whether athletes' self-compassion predicts their emotional resilience to failure has yet to be empirically tested. Moreover, as an important physiological process of stress regulation, vagal reactivity is a plausible physiological mechanism for this relationship. Through a laboratory-based observational study of 90 college athletes, this research explores the influence of athletes' trait self-compassion on their emotional resilience when recalling failure, and examines whether vagal reactivity plays a mediating role. The results show that self-compassion did not significantly predict athletes' positive emotions but did significantly predict better recovery from negative emotions after recalling failure events. Furthermore, vagal reactivity was a significant mediator between self-compassion and recovery from negative emotions.
运动员的自我同情是否能预测他们对失败的情绪恢复力，还有待实证检验。此外，作为压力调节的一个重要生理过程，迷走神经反应性是这种关系中一个合理的生理机制。通过对90名大学生运动员进行的一项基于实验室的观察性研究，本研究探讨了运动员的特质自我同情在回忆失败时对其情绪恢复力的影响，并检验了迷走神经反应性是否起中介作用。结果表明，自我同情并没有显著预测运动员的积极情绪，但在回忆失败事件后，确实显著预测了从消极情绪中更好地恢复。此外，迷走神经反应性是自我同情和从消极情绪中恢复之间的一个重要中介。
