Chinese Athletes Competition Failed To Respond To The Association Model, Influencing Factors And Evaluation

Coping about competition failure was seldom focused in sports psychology, but it go with sports competition all the time. Some positive contents about it involved in other researches such as attribution or self-efficacy, etc. This research develops the standardized psychological scale for measuring coping of competition failure; and evaluate the coping strategy by different outcome including sport motivation, sport self-confidence and mood states.Basing the researches of Shi Chengsun etc. and Si Gangyan etc., we develop the four-factor correlative model through measuring by 【Coping of competition failure Scale】 and half-structured interview, which include four strategy groups: "bearing and helplessness reaction", "seeking emotional support and venting of emotions", "active coping focused on the problems" and "fantasy and avoiding". This model was assumed to be more suitable to Chinese culture and sports culture, and more concise than general model.By means of measuring 951 university athletes and professional athletes, the 【Coping of competition failure Scale】 was developed. This scale demonstrated acceptable internal consistence, content validity, construct validity and concurrent validity. meanwhile, the assumed four-factor correlative model was justified. Moreover these scales practically provided coaches, athletes and sports scientists with a new measurement tool, which is relatively simple, reliable, and valid for interfering and adjust the exercise.This research indicate that coping of competition failure was consubstantial in sport; the "active coping focused on the problems" is most adopted, the second "seeking emotional support and venting of emotions", and "the bearing and helplessness reaction" and "fantasy and avoiding" is less adopted; the higher the rank of athletes, "active coping focused on the problems" was more adopted, the less "the bearing and helplessness reaction" was adopted; the female adopted more "seeking emotional support and venting of emotions" than male.Finally, this research indicated "the bearing and helplessness reaction" may be useful to improve sports motivation; "active coping focused on the problems" and "fantasy and avoiding" produce interactive effect to sport motivation; "the bearing and helplessness reaction" and "seeking emotional support and venting of emotions", "active coping focused on the problems" and "the bearing and helplessness reaction", "active coping focused on the problems" and "fantasy and avoiding" produce interactive effect to mood states; "active coping focused on the problems" and "fantasy and avoiding" produce interactive effect to sport self-confidence.According to the principle of aggregation, this research that was suitable to Chinese culture and sport culture explored coping of competition failure a special coping in special satiation. It characterized better eco-validity and practical value.The first one is that the application of research findings must with in the confines of samples, although these scales with satisfying reliability and validity. The second one is that the ways of coping in the real world may be different, although we make a covariate(clear) to control the accuracy of measure.
