Abstract

Brazilian jiu-jitsu engagement has been found to positively impact psychological variables in children, adolescents, and adult athletes. Psychological variabilities have previously been shown among belt ranks in Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes. Background/Objectives: This study aimed to explore the differences in mental strength, resilience, grit, self-efficacy, self-control, aggression, life satisfaction, and mental health disorders among the Brazilian jiu-jitsu belt ranks. Methods: A sample of 420 Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes (78.8% male), including 121 white belts, 118 blue belts, 78 purple belts, 46 brown belts, and 57 black belts, between 18 and 60 years of age, completed the Mental Strength Scale, Brief Resilience Scale, Grit Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Brief Self-Control Scale, Brief Aggression Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and Mental Health Disorders Screening Instrument for Athletes. Results: Results showed that Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts presented significantly higher mental strength, resilience, self-efficacy, self-control, life satisfaction, and lower mental health disorders than white belts. No significant differences were found between white and black belts in aggression (total, physical aggression, anger, verbal aggression, and hostility). Brazilian jiu-jitsu training experience positively correlated (small effect) with mental strength, resilience, grit, self-efficacy, self-control, physical and verbal aggression, and life satisfaction. Conclusions: In conclusion, the results are suggestive that Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts are generally more likely to present higher mental strength, resilience, grit, self-efficacy, self-control, life satisfaction, and better mental health than white belts, with no differences in aggression. More experienced Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes were more likely to present higher mental strength, resilience, grit, self-efficacy, self-control, physical and verbal aggression, and life satisfaction than less experienced athletes. Future studies are encouraged to investigate whether the effects found in the current study would remain after controlling for the athlete's age.

巴西柔术运动员的等级心理特征:心理力量、弹性、毅力、自我效能、自我控制、攻击性、生活满意度和心理健康。
巴西柔术的投入已被发现对儿童,青少年和成年运动员的心理变量产生积极影响。此前,巴西柔术运动员的腰带级别也显示出了心理差异。背景/目的:本研究旨在探讨巴西柔术带选手在心理力量、韧性、毅力、自我效能、自我控制、攻击性、生活满意度和心理健康障碍方面的差异。方法:选取年龄在18 ~ 60岁之间的巴西柔术运动员420人(78.8%),其中白带121人、蓝带118人、紫带78人、棕带46人、黑带57人,完成《精神力量量表》、《简易恢复力量表》、《毅力量表》、《一般自我效能量表》、《简易自我控制量表》、《简易攻击问卷》、《生活满意度量表》和《运动员心理健康障碍筛查量表》。结果:巴西柔术黑带运动员的心理力量、心理弹性、自我效能、自我控制、生活满意度显著高于白带运动员,心理健康障碍显著低于白带运动员。白带和黑带在攻击(总攻击、身体攻击、愤怒、言语攻击和敌意)方面没有显著差异。巴西柔术训练经验与精神力量、弹性、毅力、自我效能、自我控制、肢体和言语攻击、生活满意度呈正相关(小效应)。结论:总体而言,巴西柔术黑带运动员的心理力量、韧性、毅力、自我效能、自我控制、生活满意度和心理健康水平均高于白带运动员,攻击性方面无显著差异。经验丰富的巴西柔术运动员比经验不足的运动员更有可能表现出更高的精神力量、弹性、毅力、自我效能、自我控制、身体和语言攻击以及生活满意度。未来的研究被鼓励去调查在控制了运动员的年龄后,当前研究中发现的效果是否仍然存在。
