Achievement goal orientation (AGO) has been identified as an important determinant of Perceived Performance (PP) in athletes. However, there is limited research analyzing this relationship through multiple mediation models.
In this study, data from 377 competitive swimmers (45.1% female, 54.9% male, aged 18-22 years old) from Tianjin and Beijing universities were collected through questionnaires, and structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyze the relationship between AGO, Sports Enthusiasm (SE), Sports Commitment (SC), and Grit and PP.
AGO significantly elevated PP ( = 0.116, ≤ 0.001), explaining 76.6% of the total effect of AGO on PP through the chain-mediated effects of SE ( = 0.472, ≤ 0.001), SC ( = 0.448, ≤ 0.001) and Grit ( = 0.165, ≤ 0.001).
The chain mediation model of this study suggests that AGO enhances swimmers 'PP through SE, SC, and Grit, guiding coaches' goal setting, swimmers 'progress tracking, and psychologists' reassessment strategies.
成就目标定向(AGO)已被确定为运动员感知表现(PP)的重要决定因素。然而,通过多重中介模型分析这种关系的研究有限。
在本研究中,通过问卷调查收集了来自天津和北京高校的377名竞技游泳运动员(女性45.1%,男性54.9%,年龄18 - 22岁)的数据,并使用结构方程模型(SEM)分析AGO、运动热情(SE)、运动承诺(SC)、毅力与PP之间的关系。
AGO显著提高了PP(β = 0.116,p ≤ 0.001),通过SE(β = 0.472,p ≤ 0.001)、SC(β = 0.448,p ≤ 0.001)和毅力(β = 0.165,p ≤ 0.001)的链式中介效应解释了AGO对PP总效应的76.6%。
本研究的链式中介模型表明,AGO通过SE、SC和毅力提高游泳运动员的PP,为教练的目标设定、游泳运动员的进步跟踪以及心理学家的重新评估策略提供指导。
