Abstract

Research has found that mindfulness is positively related to subjective vitality. However, whether mindful athletes were shaped by environmental conditions has rarely been investigated. Therefore, based on self-determination theory, the present study investigated how both mindfulness and coach interpersonal style (autonomy support and controlling) jointly affect athletes’ subjective vitality over time. A total of 287 adolescent athletes completed surveys at two time points over three months. In addition, fifty coaches completed coach interpersonal style surveys at Time 1. The results indicated that mindfulness is positively associated with athletes’ changes in subjective vitality. Furthermore, the positive relationship between mindfulness and subjective vitality was stronger under high coach control and low coach autonomy support interpersonal styles. The current study opens a new avenue to investigate athletes’ subjective vitality. Practically, our findings highlight the importance of mindfulness in helping athletes respond to adverse conditions and thus increase athletes’ subjective vitality.

正念促进运动员主观活力的变化:教练人际关系风格的调节作用

研究发现，正念与主观活力呈正相关。然而，专注的运动员是否受到环境条件的影响却很少被调查。因此，本研究基于自我决定理论，考察正念和教练人际风格(自主支持和控制)如何随时间共同影响运动员的主观活力。共有287名青少年运动员在三个月内的两个时间点完成了调查。此外，50名教练在时间1完成了教练人际风格调查。结果表明，正念与运动员主观活力的变化呈正相关。此外，在高教练控制和低教练自主支持的人际关系风格下，正念与主观活力的正向关系更强。本研究为研究运动员主观活力开辟了一条新的途径。实际上，我们的研究结果强调了正念在帮助运动员应对不利条件，从而增加运动员主观活力方面的重要性。
