Studies taking a person-centred statistical approach when examining young peoples` psychological experiences in sport is scarce. The main aim of the present study was to examine the relationships between young football players' psychological health resources and the psychological quality of their football-specific experiences. Data for this cross-sectional study was collected as part of the [BLINDED] arm of the larger Promoting Adolescence Physical Activity (PAPA) multi-centre project [1]. The sample consisted of young [BLINDED] male (n = 814), female (n = 576), grassroots football players between the ages of 10 and 15 years (M = 12.5 years, SD = 1.1 years). We performed a latent profile analysis using Mplus 8.4 using a robust maximum likelihood estimator (MLR). Players with the most resourceful psychological health profile experienced more coach social support (mean = 4.38) than did those with a less well-off resourceful profile (mean = 3.79) and those with the least well-off profile (mean = 3.28). Players with the most resourceful profile also felt a stronger sense of unity among their teammates and they enjoyed football more than those least well off (mean = 4.43 vrs. mean = 3.12 and mean = 4.74 vrs 3.50. respectively). Parallel between-profile differences were also found for the players' general health resources including perceived life satisfaction, general health and family affluence as covariates. Findings suggest that variations in young players' psychological health profiles and their general health resources play a role in the quality of their football-specific psychological experiences.
研究采用以人为中心的统计方法来考察年轻人在运动中的心理体验的情况还很少见。本研究的主要目的是考察青少年足球运动员的心理健康资源与足球特定体验的心理素质之间的关系。这项横断面研究的数据是作为更大的促进青少年体育活动（PAPA）多中心项目[1]的[BLINDED]部分收集的。样本包括年龄在 10 至 15 岁之间的年轻[BLINDED]男性（n = 814）、女性（n = 576）草根足球运动员（M = 12.5 岁，SD = 1.1 岁）。我们使用 Mplus 8.4 采用稳健最大似然估计（MLR）进行潜在剖面分析。心理健康资源最丰富的运动员经历了更多的教练社会支持（平均值= 4.38），而心理健康资源较差的运动员（平均值= 3.79）和心理健康资源最差的运动员（平均值= 3.28）则较少。心理健康资源最丰富的运动员也感受到了队友之间更强的团结感，并且比资源最匮乏的运动员更喜欢足球（平均值= 4.43 vrs. 平均值= 3.12 和平均值= 4.74 vrs 3.50. 分别）。当将感知生活满意度、一般健康和家庭富裕程度等协变量纳入考虑后，也发现了运动员一般健康资源的平行组间差异。研究结果表明，年轻运动员心理健康状况的差异及其一般健康资源在其足球特定心理体验的质量中起着重要作用。
