This study intended to clarify the relationships between the change of track and field record and learned helplessness. In this study one's perception that track and field record is not improving or declining instead of effortfull training is equivalent to perception of responseoutcome noncontigency in learned helplessness theory. The questionnaire was constructed according to the model of reformulated LH theory by Abramson et al and adapted for track and field athletes from questionnaire by Hosaka et al. The subjects were five hundred and seventy-seven college athletes (male n = 401, female n=176). All of them were athletes who had experience track and field not less than three years. The data were analysed by the 2 (perception of contigency and positive future expectation: perception of noncontigency and negative future expectation) X 2 ( attribution to internal and stable factor: attribution to the other factors) X 2 ( sex) ANOVA. The main results are as follows: 1. The athletes who perceived their own record change as not improving or declining ( noncontigent) and had negative future expectation showed lower intrinsic motivation for track and field, lower athletic motivation and higher helplessness in personality than athletes who perceived their own record change as improving( contigent) and had positive future expectation. 2. The athletes who attributed the cause of their record change to internal and stable factor seemed to show higher intrinsic motivation for track and field than athletes who attributud it to the other factors.
