Abstract

Sport injury-related growth (SIRG) describes the possibility for athletes to benefit psychologically from an injury. The present, preregistered online study examined an international sample of 335 athletes with impressive athletic biographies who sustained a severe sport-related injury. Expanding the extant literature, we empirically contrasted numerous psychological, situational, and demographic predictors of perceived SIRG-specifically, athletes' optimism, coping style, self-efficacy, athletic identity, social support, need satisfaction, and injury centrality. Our data first provide empirical evidence for perceived SIRG, even when statistically controlling for a potential social-desirability bias in athletes' responses. In addition, frequentist and Bayesian regression analyses showed that several psychological variables predicted perceived SIRG-particularly athletes' informational social support, positive reframing, optimism, and injury centrality. Finally, post hoc mediation analyses showed how these psychological variables account for different levels of perceived SIRG as a function of demographic variables. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, along with directions for future research.

严重受伤的运动员会经历多少运动损伤相关的生长?对比心理、情境和人口预测因素。

运动损伤相关生长(SIRG)描述了运动员从受伤中获益的可能性。目前，预先注册的在线研究调查了335名运动员的国际样本，这些运动员有着令人印象深刻的运动经历，他们遭受了严重的运动相关伤害。在现有文献的基础上，我们对运动员的乐观情绪、应对方式、自我效能感、运动员身份、社会支持、需求满意度和伤害中心性等心理、情境和人口预测因素进行了实证对比。我们的数据首先为感知到的SIRG提供了经验证据，即使在统计上控制了运动员反应中潜在的社会期望偏差。此外，频率分析和贝叶斯回归分析表明，几个心理变量预测了感知到的sgr，特别是运动员的信息社会支持、积极重构、乐观和受伤中心性。最后，事后中介分析显示了这些心理变量如何作为人口变量的函数来解释不同水平的感知sig。讨论了理论和实践意义，以及未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology (JSEP) is a peer-reviewed publication designed to stimulate and communicate research theory in all areas of sport and exercise psychology. JSEP emphasizes original research reports that advance our understanding of human behavior as it relates to sport and exercise. Comprehensive reviews employing both qualitative and quantitative methods are also encouraged, as well as brief reports of soundly designed research studies that are of special interest or importance. Areas of interest include research in social, clinical, developmental, and experimental psychology, as well as psychobiology and personality. Moreover, the terms sport and exercise may pertain to either the independent or dependent variables. Generally speaking, work on motor control processes, studies of sport as a social institution, or broader social issues are beyond the scope of JSEP. A wide variety of methods are acceptable for studying sport and exercise psychology topics.
