Abstract

The purpose of the study was to further examine the relationship between mental toughness (MT) and dispositional flow in sport. A sample of 256 athletes (M age = 23.65 years, SD = 5.43), competing at international (n = 59), national (n = 77), and club/university (n = 120) levels completed questionnaires assessing MT and dispositional flow. A significant and positive correlation was found between MT and dispositional flow (r = 0.50, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis revealed that MT had a significant direct effect on the flow dimensions of challenge-skills balance, clear goals, unambiguous feedback, sense of control and concentration on the task at hand, and significant indirect effects on concentration on the task at hand, sense of control, loss of self-consciousness, action-awareness merging and autotelic experience. Findings suggest that MT has direct and indirect effects on the characteristics of flow, offering new insights regarding optimal human functioning.

进一步研究运动中心理韧性与性格流的关系:一个中介分析

本研究旨在进一步探讨运动中心理韧性(MT)与性格流之间的关系。在国际(n = 59)、国内(n = 77)和俱乐部/大学(n = 120)水平比赛的256名运动员(M年龄= 23.65岁，SD = 5.43)完成了评估MT和处置流的问卷调查。MT与处置流呈显著正相关(r = 0.50, p < 0.001)。中介分析发现，MT对挑战技能平衡、明确目标、明确反馈、控制感和手头任务专注力的流维度有显著的直接影响，对手头任务专注力、控制感、自我意识丧失、行动意识融合和自利体验的流维度有显著的间接影响。研究结果表明，MT对心流特征有直接和间接的影响，为优化人类功能提供了新的见解。
