Abstract
This systematic review investigates the relationship between spirituality and sports as explored by sports psychology researchers over the past two decades. Utilizing four reputable databases-Psychology and Behavioral Science Collection, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus-articles published between 2000 and 2023 were examined. Sixty-one articles met inclusion criteria for the final review. The study categorizes findings based on article frequency across two decades, participant demographics (athletes, coaches, students, psychologists, injured individuals, managers, and sports professionals), research methodologies (qualitative, quantitative, review studies, and ethnography), and data collection methods (library research, questionnaires, interviews, open-ended inquiries, observations, and documentation). Notably, the number of articles published in the second decade (2011-2023) doubled compared to the first decade (2000-2010). While professional athletes were the primary focus of 30 articles, a significant portion (18 articles) examined spirituality in relation to sports. The predominant method approaches were text analysis and surveys, with 14 and 13 articles, respectively. Data collection methods primarily involved library research, questionnaires, and interviews, with 26, 17, and 17 articles, respectively. The analysis highlights several thematic categories, including the relationship between spirituality and sports performance, spirituality's role in shaping sports culture, and the intersection of spirituality and religion within sports. Additionally, discussions delve into the religious identity of athletes and the impact of spirituality on various psychological variables within sports contexts. The research findings suggest a complex and nuanced relationship between spirituality and sport, but evidence regarding a cause-and-effect relationship remains inconclusive.
这篇系统的综述调查了过去二十年来运动心理学研究人员所探索的精神和运动之间的关系。利用四个著名的数据库——心理学和行为科学收集、PubMed、Web of Science和scopus——对2000年至2023年间发表的文章进行了检查。61篇文章符合最终审查的纳入标准。该研究根据20年来的文章频率、参与者人口统计（运动员、教练、学生、心理学家、受伤个体、管理人员和体育专业人员）、研究方法（定性、定量、回顾研究和人种学）和数据收集方法（图书馆研究、问卷调查、访谈、开放式询问、观察和文献）对研究结果进行了分类。值得注意的是，与第一个十年（2000-2010）相比，第二个十年（2011-2023）发表的文章数量翻了一番。虽然职业运动员是30篇文章的主要焦点，但相当一部分（18篇）研究了与运动有关的精神。主要的方法是文本分析和调查，分别有14篇和13篇文章。数据收集方法主要包括图书馆研究、问卷调查和访谈，分别有26篇、17篇和17篇文章。分析强调了几个主题类别，包括精神和运动表现之间的关系，精神在塑造体育文化中的作用，以及体育中精神和宗教的交集。此外，讨论深入到运动员的宗教身份和精神对各种心理变量在体育环境的影响。研究结果表明，精神和运动之间存在复杂而微妙的关系，但关于因果关系的证据仍然没有定论。
