Abstract:
Connecting desires for achievement, the satisfaction of basic psychological needs and the perception of fear of failure is one of the most relevant questions in the understanding of negative mental responses in youth athletes. How to act with less fear is what every athlete seeks to feel to enhance their performance actions. This paper aims to shed light on a sample of 681 members of sports teams belonging to different Spanish clubs (391 boys and 290 girls), with a mean age of 16.2 years, and a high sports dedication (75.5% > 5 years of experience; 96.3% > two training sessions/week; 90.3% > 3 hours of training/week). The collected data used self-reports based on the tenets of achievement motivation, Self-Determination Theory, and fear of failure. Those aspects linked to task involvement were positively close to Basic Psychological Needs (BPNs), while those related to ego involvement moved away from task involvement and BPNs. Fear was associated positively and significantly only with ego, and negatively with the rest of the constructs. In the standardized direct effect, positive and significant associations were observed among all constructs except between an ego-involving climate and basic psychological needs satisfaction. The association between a task-involving climate and BPNs was significant in fostering relationships among group members, as well as in improving interpersonal cohesion, empathic understanding processes, and reducing fear of failure in youth athletes.
摘要:
连接对成就的渴望,基本心理需求的满足和对失败的恐惧是理解青少年运动员负面心理反应的最相关问题之一。如何以更少的恐惧行事是每个运动员都希望感受到的,以提高他们的表现。本文旨在阐明属于不同西班牙俱乐部的681名运动队成员(391名男孩和290名女孩)的样本,平均年龄为16.2岁,和高运动奉献精神(75.5%>5年经验;96.3%>两次训练/周;90.3%>3小时训练/周)。收集的数据使用基于成就动机的原则的自我报告,自决理论,对失败的恐惧。与任务参与相关的这些方面与基本心理需求(BPN)正接近,而那些与自我参与有关的远离任务参与和BPN。恐惧仅与自我呈正相关且显著相关,与其余的结构是负面的。在标准化的直接效应中,除了在涉及自我的气候和基本心理需求满意度之间,在所有结构中都观察到了正相关和显着相关。涉及任务的气候与BPN之间的关联在促进组成员之间的关系方面具有重要意义,以及提高人际凝聚力,移情理解过程,减少青少年运动员对失败的恐惧。
