Abstract

This study aimed to provide a framework for how athletes evaluate stress before a competition and how stress relates to cognitive appraisal, sport confidence, and expectations of performance. Participants were 327 youth male athletes, aged 15–19 years ( M = 16.90; SD = 1.00), who competed in the Portuguese National Football League and completed a questionnaire 24–48 hr before their match, using the critical incident methodology. Results revealed that opponents were the main source of stress for athletes and that the more athletes stress about their opponents, the more they tend to perceive the situation as threatening (and less challenging), the lower their perceptions of coping and sport confidence which, in turn, predicted lower expectations of individual and collective performance. In sum, perceiving the stressful situation as either a challenge or a threat predicts young athletes’ sport confidence and, consequently, expected performance when dealing with stressful competitive situations.

压力源与足球运动员预期成绩:运动自信与认知评价的作用
本研究旨在为运动员在比赛前如何评估压力以及压力如何与认知评估、运动信心和表现期望相关提供一个框架。参与者为327名15-19岁的青年男运动员(M = 16.90;SD = 1.00),他们参加了葡萄牙国家足球联赛,并在比赛前24-48小时完成了问卷调查,使用了关键事件方法。结果显示,对手是运动员压力的主要来源,运动员对对手的压力越大,他们就越倾向于将这种情况视为威胁(而不是挑战),他们对应对和运动信心的看法就越低,这反过来又预测了对个人和集体表现的较低期望。总而言之,将压力情境视为挑战或威胁可以预测年轻运动员的运动信心,从而预测他们在处理压力竞争情境时的预期表现。
