The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between self-confidence, mental toughness, coping functions, challenge and threat appraisals, and functional psychobiosocial experiences. This investigation was conducted within the framework of multi-states (MuSt) theory. The sample consisted of 76 elite male athletes, ranging in age from 19 to 33 years, representing the Italian rugby union national team participating in the 2024 edition of the Men's Six Nations Championship. Assessments took place during training camps in preparation for the Championship. The results from serial mediation analysis showed that problem-focused coping and challenge appraisal played a mediating role in the relationship between self-confidence, mental toughness, and functional psychobiosocial experiences. These findings support MuSt theory assumptions and have practical implications for the development of training programs aimed at enhancing athletes' wellbeing and performance.
本研究的目的是调查自信、心理韧性、应对功能、挑战与威胁评估以及功能性心理社会体验之间的关系。这项调查是在多状态（MuSt）理论的框架内进行的。样本包括76名精英男性运动员，年龄在19至33岁之间，代表参加2024年男子六国锦标赛的意大利橄榄球联盟国家队。评估在锦标赛备战训练营期间进行。系列中介分析的结果表明，以问题为中心的应对和挑战评估在自信、心理韧性和功能性心理社会体验之间的关系中起中介作用。这些发现支持了MuSt理论假设，并对旨在提高运动员幸福感和表现的训练计划的制定具有实际意义。
