Abstract

Given how COVID-19 had caused significant increases in collegiate athletes' psychological distress, we examined the extent to which such distress may have been ameliorated by the athletes' psychosocial resources (e.g., resilience). We used structural equation modeling to examine the direct and indirect relationships of resilience, self-compassion, and social support to women collegiate athletes' (N = 3,924; 81.2% White) psychological distress; athletes completed measures of these constructs from mid-April to mid-May 2020. Analyses revealed significant direct effects: More supported (β = -0.12 to -0.19), self-compassionate (β = -0.48 to -0.53), and resilient (β = -0.21 to -0.35) athletes experienced less psychological distress (R2 = .61-.65). Further, self-compassion and social support were related indirectly (and inversely) to psychological distress through higher levels of resilience. These psychosocial resources appear to have played a positive role in how athletes coped with the pandemic, being associated with less psychological distress. These findings have application beyond the pandemic, providing direction for how sport psychology professionals may assist athletes in maintaining their well-being.

大学生女运动员韧性、自我同情和社会支持与新冠肺炎期间心理困扰的关系

鉴于2019冠状病毒病导致大学生运动员心理困扰显著增加，我们研究了运动员的心理社会资源(如恢复力)在多大程度上缓解了这种困扰。本研究采用结构方程模型检验心理弹性、自我同情和社会支持对女大学生运动员心理健康的直接和间接关系(N = 3,924;81.2%白人)心理困扰;运动员在2020年4月中旬至5月中旬完成了这些结构的测量。分析显示了显著的直接影响:更多的支持(β = -0.12至-0.19)，自我同情(β = -0.48至-0.53)和弹性(β = -0.21至-0.35)运动员经历了更少的心理困扰(R2 = 0.61至0.65)。此外，自我同情和社会支持通过较高的弹性水平与心理困扰间接相关(负相关)。这些社会心理资源似乎在运动员如何应对大流行方面发挥了积极作用，与较少的心理困扰有关。这些发现的应用范围超出了大流行，为运动心理学专业人员如何帮助运动员保持健康提供了方向。

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.
