Coach autonomy-supportive behaviors are a crucial factor in the communication effectiveness with athletes experiencing depressive moods. Therefore, clarifying the relationship between coach autonomy-supportive behaviors and the communication effectiveness with athletes experiencing depressive moods is of significant importance for promoting effective communication between coaches and athletes. This study employs in-depth interviews, questionnaires, and stepwise regression analysis, using purposive sampling to investigate coaches and athletes experiencing depressive moods from various regions, levels, genders, and sports in China. The study examines the impact of coach autonomy-supportive behaviors on their communication effectiveness, as well as the mediating role of intrinsic motivation variables, measuring and testing these variables.
The participants care about whether the coach's autonomous support behavior can promote communication between them and the coach.
The athletes participating in the test have a certain degree of depression.
For these athletes, coaches adopt autonomous support behavior in training practice to support their decision-making and meet their psychological needs.
Coach autonomous support behavior has a positive supportive effect on the communication effect between athletes with depressive emotions and coaches.
(1) Coach autonomy-supportive behaviors can positively predict the communication effectiveness between coaches and athletes experiencing depressive moods; (2) Intrinsic motivation partially mediates the relationship between coach autonomy-supportive behaviors and communication effectiveness between coaches and athletes experiencing depressive moods. The study concludes that coaches can promote athletes' intrinsic motivation by supporting and encouraging them to make their own choices and affirming the outcomes of those choices. This approach can alleviate athletes' depressive moods and foster their willingness to actively communicate and share their feelings with coaches, thereby enhancing communication effectiveness.
教练的自主支持行为是与情绪低落的运动员沟通效果的关键因素。因此，厘清教练自主支持行为与和情绪低落的运动员沟通效果之间的关系，对于促进教练与运动员之间的有效沟通至关重要。本研究采用深度访谈、问卷调查和逐步回归分析，通过目的抽样对来自中国不同地区、水平、性别和运动项目的教练和情绪低落的运动员进行调查。该研究考察教练自主支持行为对其沟通效果的影响，以及内在动机变量的中介作用，并对这些变量进行测量和检验。
参与者关心教练的自主支持行为是否能促进他们与教练之间的沟通。
参与测试的运动员有一定程度的抑郁。
对于这些运动员，教练在训练实践中采取自主支持行为，支持他们的决策并满足他们的心理需求。
教练自主支持行为对情绪低落的运动员与教练之间的沟通效果有积极的支持作用。
（1）教练自主支持行为能正向预测与情绪低落的运动员之间的沟通效果；（2）内在动机在教练自主支持行为与情绪低落的运动员和教练之间的沟通效果之间起部分中介作用。该研究得出结论，教练可以通过支持和鼓励运动员做出自己的选择并肯定这些选择的结果来促进运动员的内在动机。这种方法可以缓解运动员的抑郁情绪，培养他们积极与教练沟通和分享感受的意愿，从而提高沟通效果。
