Vigor plays an important role in mental health, and it is closely related to sporting performance. Neuroticism can affect individual vigor, but its internal mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to examine the relationship between neuroticism and vigor, and the role of anxiety and mind wandering between the two.
A total of 591 athletes completed questionnaires on neuroticism, pre-competition anxiety, mind wandering and vigor. The survey data were tested for common method biases, Pearson's correlation, and structural equation model via SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 7.0.
Results showed that neuroticism had a predictive effect on athletes' vigor 4 ( = -0.511, < 0.001). Pre-competition anxiety ( = -0.056, BC 95% CI = [-0.091, -0.028]) and mind wandering ( = -0.030, BC 95% CI = [-0.054, -0.014]) mediate neuroticism effects on vigor separately. There was a significant serial mediation effect from "neuroticism→Pre-competition anxiety→mind wandering→energy" ( = -0.010, BC 95% CI = [-0.023, -0.002]).
This study provides a reference for the systematic investigation of the relationship between neuroticism and vigor, and specific intervention methods for ensuring athletes' vigor and improving sports performance.
活力在心理健康中起着重要作用，并且与运动表现密切相关。神经质会影响个体活力，但其内在机制尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨神经质与活力之间的关系，以及焦虑和走神在二者之间所起的作用。
共有591名运动员完成了关于神经质、赛前焦虑、走神和活力的问卷调查。通过SPSS 25.0和Mplus 7.0对调查数据进行共同方法偏差检验、Pearson相关性分析和结构方程模型分析。
结果显示，神经质对运动员的活力有预测作用（β = -0.511，p < 0.001）。赛前焦虑（β = -0.056，BC 95% CI = [-0.091, -0.028]）和走神（β = -0.030，BC 95% CI = [-0.054, -0.014]）分别在神经质对活力的影响中起中介作用。存在从“神经质→赛前焦虑→走神→活力”的显著链式中介效应（β = -0.010，BC 95% CI = [-0.023, -0.002]）。
本研究为系统探究神经质与活力之间的关系提供了参考，也为确保运动员活力和提高运动表现提供了具体的干预方法。
