Posttraumatic growth (PTG) is viewed as a positive psychological change resulting from the struggle with trauma. This study was designed to prospective examine the association of Hardiness and Social Support with PTG following athletic injuries. University student-athletes (N=235) completed a baseline survey that included questions about socio-demographics, and the Japanese version of the Hardiness Scale for University Student at Time 1 (T1). The same athletes completed a second survey (T 2) that included questions about experiences of sports-related injuries, the assessment of Subjective Units of Distress (SUDs), and responding to the Japanese version of the Social Support Scales for University Students, 14 months after T1. Four months later (T 3), 209 of the same athletes completed the PTG Scale After an Athletic Injury (PTGS-AI). Data of 92 participants that met the screening criteria were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that appraisal support was the only factor that significantly predicted PTG (β=.48, p<.01) after adjusting for potential covariates such as age and gender. Moreover, hierarchical regression analysis indicated that the association of hardiness and appraisal support with PTG was different for different PTG subscales. The interaction between hardiness and appraisal support was significant for Relating to Team Members (F (1, 87) =3.12, p<.05) and Psychological Strength as an Athlete (F (1, 87) =5.02, p<.01). These findings suggest that developing an environment in which athletes receive appraisal support could contribute to their psychological growth.

Previous studies have shown that self-consciousness traits are closely related to choking under pressure (Baumeister, 1984; Wang et al., 2004). However, it has not be distinguished between private and public self-consciousness. This study investigated the influence of private and public self-consciousness of athletes on the factors of choking under pressure. 281 subjects were asked to respond to a questionnaire on choking factors (Murayama and Sekiya, 2012) and a self-consciousness scale (Tsuji, 1993), and data from 253 subjects were analyzed. The results showed that higher private and public self-consciousness had more choking experience. Furthermore, we examined the influence of private and public self-consciousness on the factors of choking and found that private self-consciousness showed significant positive effects to be associated with changes in motor control, vicious circles, abnormal physical sensations, and conscious processing (attention to movement). In contrast, public self-consciousness showed significant positive effects on changes in motor control and vicious circles, perceptual and cognitive confusion, feelings of physical heaviness and weakness, passivity, and safety-oriented strategies. The results indicate that private and public self-consciousness affect different factors of choking under pressure.

Pride is an emotion that may influence a competitive athlete's sports performance and mastery. The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure the pride traits in sports (Trait Pride Scale for Athletes: TPSA) and examine the characteristics. University student-athletes completed the TPSA, focusing on subjective emotional episodes and other scales of important personality constructs including self-esteem, resilience, authenticity, and narcissism (Study 1), and grit (Study 2). The factor analysis of the TPSA items indicated a four-factor structure: (a) Relationship, (b) Endurance/Diligence, (c) Athletic Self-Identity, and (d) Superiority. There were no gender differences in overall TPSA scores. Internal consistency by Cronbach’s alpha and the retest reliability were verified acceptable. The TPSA scores were positively correlated with all of the other psychological scales, confirming convergent validity. Findings provide initial insight into the structure of pride in sports contexts. Specifically, these findings suggest that the athletes’ proneness of pride is a multidimensional construct that involves not only intrapersonal factors but also interpersonal factors.

Pride is an emotion that may influence a competitive athlete’s sports performance and mastery. The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure the pride traits in sports (Trait Pride Scale for Athletes: TPSA) and examine the characteristics. University student-athletes (N = 463) completed the TPSA, focusing on subjective emotional episodes and other scales of important personality constructs including self-esteem, resilience, authenticity, and narcissism. The exploratory factor analysis of the TPSA items indicated a four-factor structure: (a) Relationship, (b) Athletic Self-Identity, (c) Endurance/Diligence, and (d) Superiority. Regarding the gender differences in the TPSA subscale scores, female athletes experienced significantly more pride in Endurance/Diligence. Internal consistency was verified by Cronbach’s alpha and supported the reliability. The TPSA scores were positively correlated with all of the other personality scales, confirming convergent validity. In addition, partial correlation coefficients by controlling for other personality variables indicated that Relationship, Athletic Self-Identity, and Endurance/Diligence had a positive correlation with authenticity and resilience, whereas Superiority correlated with self-esteem and narcissism. Findings provide initial insight into the structure of pride in sports contexts. Specifically, these findings suggest that the athletes’ proneness of pride is a multidimensional construct that involves not only intrapersonal factors but also interpersonal factors.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between life skills and post-graduation employment for top college student athletes. In March 2011, 24 Japanese top level male wrestlers (mean age=22.0±0.2) who had graduated from university in March 2011 answered to the Appraisal Scale of Required Life Skills for College Student Athletes (Shimamoto et al., 2013). This scale has following 10 subscales: stress management, setting goals, thinking carefully, appreciating others, communicating, maintaining etiquette and manners, always making one's best effort, taking responsibility for one's own behavior, being humble, and maintaining physical health and well-being. The relationships between life skills acquisition level assessed in March 2011 and employment situations (employed or unemployed) by March 2012 were examined with nine members who had not obtained employment by the time of graduation from university. The analysis results showed that the employment group (n=4) who had acquired employment within one year of graduation indicated a higher acquisition level compared to the unemployed group (n=5) with regard to setting goals (p<.05). Therefore, it was suggested that there is the positive relationship between setting goals and post-graduation employment for top college student wrestlers.
