Abstract

Burnout symptoms are a detrimental concern many athletes have at some point throughout their athletic careers. In order to assist athletes with performing at their optimal level, there is a need to better understand the burnout phenomena and the ways it can interact with other performance variables, such as grit. Given that grit is a predictor of success in a variety of domains (e.g., Duckworth & Yeager, 2015; Eskreis-Winkler et al., 2014; Fernández-Martin et al., 2020), the purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between grit and burnout. It was hypothesized that there would be an inverse correlation between grit and burnout. Grit and burnout data was collected from Division I student-athletes (n = 241) towards the end of their competitive seasons. Further, the student-athletes year in college was considered as a potential moderator between grit and burnout. The results indicated that student-athletes who scored higher in grit, also scored higher in burnout, hence the hypothesis was not supported. Additionally, there was a stronger positive relationship between grit and burnout for first-year students and sophomores, when compared with juniors and seniors. It is plausible athletes who are grittier are more likely to persevere through stress and challenges, including burnout symptoms, especially during their first two years of college. Athletes higher in grit may also be investing more effort into their sport, which could be increasing symptoms of burnout, as well. The results of this study warrant further investigation to clarify the interaction between grit and athlete burnout.

研究大学生运动员的职业倦怠与勇气之间的关系
倦怠症状是许多运动员在其运动生涯的某个阶段都会出现的有害问题。为了帮助运动员发挥出最佳水平,有必要更好地了解倦怠现象及其与其他表现变量(如勇气)相互作用的方式。鉴于勇气是在多个领域取得成功的预测因素(如 Duckworth & Yeager, 2015; Eskreis-Winkler 等人, 2014; Fernández-Martin 等人, 2020),本研究的目的是考察勇气与职业倦怠之间的关系。研究假设勇气与职业倦怠之间存在反相关关系。在第一组学生运动员(n = 241)的竞技赛季即将结束时,收集了他们的勇气和职业倦怠数据。此外,运动员的大学年级也被视为勇气与倦怠之间的潜在调节因素。结果表明,在勇气方面得分较高的学生运动员在职业倦怠方面的得分也较高,因此该假设未得到支持。此外,与大三和大四学生相比,大一和大二学生的勇气与职业倦怠之间的正相关关系更强。有理由相信,更有勇气的运动员更有可能在压力和挑战(包括倦怠症状)中坚持下来,尤其是在大学的头两年。坚韧度较高的运动员也可能会在运动中投入更多精力,这也可能会增加倦怠症状。本研究的结果值得进一步调查,以澄清勇气与运动员倦怠之间的相互作用。
