摘要

摘要目的尽管同情心有很多好处，但运动员害怕同情心。为了为体育研究人员和从业者提供一个有效和可靠的心理测量工具，我们开发并验证了一个基于现有的一般生活领域对同情恐惧的测量的体育同情恐惧量表（FCSS）。方法我们制作了FCSS项目，测量运动特定的自我同情恐惧（FSC）和接受他人同情（FCO）。在对FCSS项目进行内容评估后，我们在三名英国运动员样本（总N=792）中评估了新仪器的心理测量特性。结果FCSS具有良好的析因性、并发性、判别性、预测有效性、测量不变性（尤其是跨运动类型和竞技水平）、内部一致性和重测可靠性。FSC和FCO在体育运动中均与自我同情呈负相关，与自恋脆弱性和心理困扰呈正相关。与普通生活相比，运动员更害怕自我同情，但不太害怕在体育运动中获得同情。然而，在三个月的随访中，预测心理困扰的是FCO，而不是FSC。结论这项新仪器为评估体育运动中对同情心的恐惧提供了一种方法。目前的研究提供了关于体育运动中同情恐惧的不同表现形式的新知识。关键点关于这个话题已经知道的是：（1）同情心理训练提供了情绪调节的好处，并且已知有助于运动员建立和保持心理健康。（2）然而，运动员们对接受同情表示担忧，因为他们害怕通过采取同情的心态变得平庸。（3）虽然人们呼吁将同情心融入竞争环境，并在体育运动中检查对同情心的恐惧，但目前还没有可用的心理测量方法来评估体育运动中对同情心的特定恐惧。本主题补充道：（1）通过三个运动样本，本研究验证了第一个评估运动中同情恐惧的心理测量方法，并证明了良好的结构有效性、内部一致性、测试-再测试可靠性和测量不变性。（2）与一般生活领域相比，运动员似乎更害怕自我同情，但不太害怕在体育运动中获得同情。（3）交叉滞后小组分析显示，对他人同情的基线恐惧（而不是对自我同情的恐惧）预测了运动员在3个月内的心理痛苦。

The Fears of Compassion in Sport Scale: a short, context-specific measure of fear of self-compassion and receiving compassion from others validated in UK athletes

ABSTRACT Objective Despite the many benefits of compassion, athletes fear being compassionate. To provide a valid and reliable psychometric tool for sport researchers and practitioners, we developed and validated a Fears of Compassion in Sport Scale (FCSS), based on an existing measure of fears of compassion in general life domains. Method We generated FCSS items measuring sport-specific fear of self-compassion (FSC) and receiving compassion from others (FCO). Following a content evaluation of FCSS items, we assessed psychometric properties of the new instrument in three samples of UK athletes (total N = 792). Results The FCSS demonstrated very good factorial, concurrent, discriminant, predictive validity, measurement invariance (especially across sport types and competitive levels), internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. Both FSC and FCO in sport were negatively associated with self-compassion and associated positively with narcissistic vulnerability and psychological distress. Athletes were more fearful of self-compassion but less fearful of receiving compassion in sport compared to in general life. However, it was FCO, not FSC, that predicted psychological distress at three months follow-up. Conclusion The new instrument offers a way to assess fears of compassion in sport. The present research provided new knowledge regarding different manifestations of fears of compassion in sport. Key points What is already known about this topic: (1) Compassionate mind training offers emotion regulation benefits and is known to facilitate athletes in establishing and maintaining mental health. (2) However, athletes have raised concerns over embracing compassion because they are fearful of becoming mediocre by adopting a compassionate mind. (3) Whilst attention has been called to integrating compassion in competitive settings and examining fears of compassion in sport, no existing psychometric measure is available for assessing sport-specific fears of compassion. What this topic adds: (1) Through three athletic samples, this research validated the first psychometric measure for assessing fears of compassion in sport and demonstrated good construct validity, internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and measurement invariance. (2) Athletes appear to be more fearful of self-compassion but less fearful of receiving compassion in sport compared to general life domains. (3) Cross-lagged panel analysis revealed baseline fear of compassion from others (not fear of self-compassion) predicted athletes’ psychological distress in 3-month time.
