Abstract

The purpose of the present investigation was to explore the mediating role of self-compassion on the relation between goal orientation and sport-confidence, as well as exploring whether these factors differed between male and female student-athletes. To that end, a total of 418 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I student-athletes (M = 20.19, SD = 1.30) completed the Self-Compassion Scale (athlete version), the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire, and the Trait Sport-Confidence Inventory. Structural equation models suggest that task orientation has both a direct effect on sport-confidence and an indirect one through self-compassion. Furthermore, while there was no direct effect between ego orientation and sport-confidence, the results indicated an indirect effect through self-compassion. Moreover, a multigroup analysis indicated that the paths in the mediation model were moderated by gender. Based on these findings, it is recommended that coaches, sport psychologists, and other practitioners consider self-compassion training to enhance confidence among both ego-oriented and female athletes.

自我同情在目标取向与运动自信关系中的中介作用

本研究旨在探讨自我同情在目标取向与运动自信之间的中介作用，并探讨这些因素在男女学生运动员之间是否存在差异。为此，共418名全国高校体育协会一级学生运动员(M = 20.19, SD = 1.30)完成了自我同情量表(运动员版)、运动任务与自我取向问卷和运动自信特质量表。结构方程模型表明，任务导向对运动自信既有直接影响，也有通过自我同情间接影响。此外，虽然自我取向与运动自信之间没有直接影响，但结果表明自我同情对运动自信有间接影响。此外，多组分析表明，中介模型中的路径受性别调节。基于这些发现，建议教练、运动心理学家和其他实践者考虑自我同情训练，以增强自我导向型和女性运动员的信心。
