人们通常认为，重要的其他人可以在减轻运动员的压力方面发挥重要作用。然而，很少有人注意到(A)这些重要的其他人具体说了什么或做了什么来减轻压力(移情与激励)，以及(B)各种类型的互动(积极与消极)有多普遍。这项调查试图填补这一空白。对经历过职业倦怠(n=10)或赛季结束时受伤(n=21)的运动员进行了深入的回顾性访谈。归纳分析表明，运动员对重要他人的具体行为的评价往往会随着所经历的压力(倦怠与受伤)而变化。此外，频率分析显示，运动员将他们与重要他人的互动描述为负面而不是正面。这些发现与当前社会互动的概念化有关。
It is often assumed that important others can play significant roles in reducing stress among athletes. However, little attention has been given to (a) what specifically these important others say or do to reduce stress (empathize vs. motivate), and (b) how prevalent various types (positive vs. negative) of interactions are. This investigation attempted to fill this void. In-depth retrospective interviews were conducted with athletes who experienced burnout (n = 10) or season-ending injuries (n = 21). Inductive analysis revealed that athletes’ evaluations of the specific behaviors of important others tended to vary according to the stress (burnout vs. injury) experienced. Additionally, frequency analysis revealed that athletes described their interactions with important others as negative more often than as positive. The findings are discussed in relation to current conceptualizations of social interactions.
