作者对一群取得最终体育成就的运动员进行了一项关于心理韧性的调查。8名奥运会或世界冠军、3名教练和4名运动心理学家同意参加。定性方法解决了三个基本问题：心理韧性的定义，其基本属性的识别，和心理韧性的框架的发展。结果证实了作者早期对精神坚韧的定义，并确定了30个对精神坚韧至关重要的属性。这些属性聚集在4个独立的维度（态度/心态，训练，比赛，赛后）的整体框架内的心理韧性。实际意义和未来的研究途径，涉及发展的心理韧性和测量问题进行了讨论。
The authors conducted an investigation of mental toughness in a sample population of athletes who have achieved ultimate sporting success. Eight Olympic or world champions, 3 coaches, and 4 sport psychologists agreed to participate. Qualitative methods addressed 3 fundamental issues: the definition of mental toughness, the identification of its essential attributes, and the development of a framework of mental toughness. Results verified the authors' earlier definition of mental toughness and identified 30 attributes that were essential to being mentally tough. These attributes clustered under 4 separate dimensions (attitude/mindset, training, competition, postcompetition) within an overall framework of mental toughness. Practical implications and future avenues of research involving the development of mental toughness and measurement issues are discussed.
