摘要

目的：本研究采用纵向日志设计考察了精英电子竞技中的压力源、压力评估、应对策略和应对效果，以解决对精英电子竞技中心理需求和应对反应的特定情境理解的需求。方法：来自英雄联盟大洋洲赛区的5名英雄联盟优秀男性选手完成了为期71天的竞技赛季的压力和应对日记。在单独训练、团队训练和竞技比赛后完成日记，评估压力源、压力强度、感知控制、威胁和挑战评估、应对策略和应对效果。结果：绩效相关（37.5%）和队友相关（34.8%）的压力源占所有报告的压力源的72.3%，其中一般绩效、结果、队友错误和队友沟通是最常见的。压力强度与威胁评估显著相关，但在压力源类型或事件类型之间没有差异。感知控制因压力源类型而异，表现和平衡生活承诺压力源的控制较高，队友、外部个体和技术问题压力源的控制较低。使用频率最高的是掌握应对策略，其次是内部调节策略和目标退出策略。掌握策略和内部调节策略被认为比目标退出策略更有效，训练中的应对有效性显著高于竞争中的应对有效性。结论：本研究为精英电子竞技运动员的压力和应对体验提供了新的见解，并强调了情境特定心理支持的重要性。研究结果表明，干预措施应该针对适应性应对策略的发展，特别是在竞争环境中管理绩效压力和与队友相关的挑战。这些见解可以为量身定制的心理技能项目提供信息，并指导未来对电子竞技的弹性和性能可持续性的研究。

Stress and coping in elite esports: A diary study of stress, coping and coping effectiveness

Objectives

This study examined stressors, stress appraisals, coping strategies, and coping effectiveness in elite esports using a longitudinal diary design to address the need for context-specific understanding of psychological demands and coping responses in elite esports.

Methods

Five elite male League of Legends players from the League of Legends Circuit Oceania completed stress and coping diaries over a 71-day competitive season. Diaries were completed after solo training, team training, and competitive matches and assessed stressors, stress intensity, perceived control, threat and challenge appraisals, coping strategies, and coping effectiveness.

Results

Performance-related (37.5 %) and teammate-related (34.8 %) stressors accounted for 72.3 % of all stressors reported, with general performance, outcome, teammate mistakes, and teammate communication being the most common. Stress intensity was significantly associated with threat appraisals but did not differ across stressor types or event types. Perceived control varied by stressor type, with higher control reported for performance and balancing life commitment stressors, and lower control for teammate, external individuals, and technical issues stressors. Mastery coping strategies were used most frequently, followed by internal regulation and goal withdrawal strategies. Mastery and internal regulation strategies were rated as more effective than goal withdrawal strategies, and coping effectiveness was significantly higher in training than in competition.

Conclusions

This study provides new insights into the stress and coping experiences of elite esports athletes and highlights the importance of context-specific psychological support. The findings suggest that interventions should target adaptive coping strategy development, especially for managing performance pressure and teammate-related challenges in competitive environments. These insights can inform tailored mental skills programs and guide future research into resilience and performance sustainability in esports.

期刊介绍： Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
