Abstract

Purpose: Psychological resilience is vital to the development of sport talents. Qualitative research has consistently demonstrated that sport resilience encapsulates a mixed package of resilience qualities (reflecting positive traits and characteristics) and resilience support (reflecting perceived support and related resources). Ironically, sport resilience research adopting quantitative methods has been assessing resilience as a unidimensional construct, with little attention to the multi-facet nature of resilience and its effects on performance. In the present research, we tested a novel proposition that resilience qualities predict reduced pre-competition cognitive anxiety and contribute to performance more than resilience support. Methods & Results: Across two samples of competitive table tennis players (Study 1: N = 196 competing at province level; Study 2: N = 106 competing at national level), we consistently found resilience qualities, rather than resilience support, predicted lower levels of pre-competition cognitive anxiety and superior performance at a national championship. Results also suggest that pre-competition cognitive anxiety mediated the relationship between resilience qualities and performance. Conclusion: The findings provide the first evidence supporting the divergent effects of resilience qualities and resilience support in predicting pre- competition anxiety and championship performance and call for the consideration of such a distinction when designing and delivering resilience programs.

抗挫折素质和抗挫折支持在预测赛前焦虑和比赛成绩方面的不同作用。

目的：心理复原力对体育人才的培养至关重要。定性研究不断表明，体育抗挫折能力包含抗挫折素质（反映积极的特质和特征）和抗挫折支持（反映感知到的支持和相关资源）的混合组合。具有讽刺意味的是，采用定量方法进行的体育抗逆力研究一直将抗逆力作为一个单维度的建构来评估，而很少关注抗逆力的多面性及其对成绩的影响。在本研究中，我们测试了一个新的命题，即抗逆力素质可预测赛前认知焦虑的减少，并比抗逆力支持更有助于提高成绩。方法与结果：在两个乒乓球竞技运动员样本中（研究 1：参加省级比赛的人数=196；研究 2：参加国家级比赛的人数=106），我们一致发现，抗挫力素质而非抗挫力支持能预测较低的赛前认知焦虑水平和在全国锦标赛中的优异表现。研究结果还表明，赛前认知焦虑对复原力素质和成绩之间的关系起到了中介作用。结论研究结果首次证明了抗逆力素质和抗逆力支持在预测赛前焦虑和冠军赛成绩方面的不同作用，并呼吁在设计和实施抗逆力计划时考虑这种区别。

期刊介绍： Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport publishes research in the art and science of human movement that contributes significantly to the knowledge base of the field as new information, reviews, substantiation or contradiction of previous findings, development of theory, or as application of new or improved techniques. The goals of RQES are to provide a scholarly outlet for knowledge that: (a) contributes to the study of human movement, particularly its cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary nature; (b) impacts theory and practice regarding human movement; (c) stimulates research about human movement; and (d) provides theoretical reviews and tutorials related to the study of human movement. The editorial board, associate editors, and external reviewers assist the editor-in-chief. Qualified reviewers in the appropriate subdisciplines review manuscripts deemed suitable. Authors are usually advised of the decision on their papers within 75–90 days.
