Abstract:
This study examined coping and pain responses using a behavioural inhibition (BIS) - behavioural activation (BAS) framework in 489 student athletes (M(age) = 20, SD = 4; 69% female). Two samples of athletes (226 pain-free athletes and 232 athletes with current pain) completed surveys assessing BIS- and BAS-related cognitions, emotions, and behaviours. Distinct groupings of BAS-related variables were identified in both samples, evidenced by significant positive correlations within BAS-related variables (positive affect, pain openness, approach thoughts and behaviours). Most BIS-related variables (depression, anxiety, harm beliefs, pain catastrophizing and avoidance behaviours) were also correlated in the sample of athletes with pain; however, this was not observed in pain-free athletes. In athletes with pain, BIS-related variables were significantly associated with pain variables, with this association stronger than that found for BAS-related variables. Regression analyses highlighted the pivotal role of pain catastrophizing as a predictor of pain unpleasantness and intensity. Findings shed light on the factors shaping athletes\' coping, pain perception and decisions as to whether to pause or push through. Future investigations to explore these dynamics in more depth may aid in the development of targeted interventions that enhance athletes\' ability to cope and to manage pain more effectively.
摘要:
这项研究使用行为抑制(BIS)-行为激活(BAS)框架对489名学生运动员(M(年龄)=20,SD=4;69%女性)进行了应对和疼痛反应。两个运动员样本(226名无痛运动员和232名当前疼痛运动员)完成了评估BIS和BAS相关认知的调查,情感,和行为。在两个样本中都确定了BAS相关变量的不同分组,由BAS相关变量内的显著正相关证明(正影响,痛苦的开放,接近思想和行为)。大多数与BIS相关的变量(抑郁症,焦虑,伤害信仰,疼痛灾难化和回避行为)在患有疼痛的运动员样本中也是相关的;然而,这在无痛运动员中没有观察到.在痛苦的运动员中,BIS相关变量与疼痛变量显著相关,与BAS相关变量相比,这种关联更强。回归分析强调了疼痛灾难化作为疼痛不愉快和强度预测指标的关键作用。调查结果揭示了影响运动员应对的因素,疼痛感知和决定是暂停还是推进。未来更深入地探索这些动态的调查可能有助于发展有针对性的干预措施,提高运动员应对和更有效地管理疼痛的能力。
