The objectives of this study were to (a) develop a conceptualization of role acceptance, later situated within the broader concept of role commitment, pertinent to the sport environment; (b) develop a measure integrating direct perceptions of role commitment and the bases of this variable; and (c) determine if role commitment could predict athletes' intentions to return. To accomplish these objectives, multiple methods were used across 4 projects that leveraged the extant literature on acceptance and commitment perceptions from sport and organizational psychology, engaged athletes in focus groups in a think-aloud protocol, and obtained responses on iterative versions of a new role-commitment questionnaire from over 700 athletes from a variety of competitive and developmental levels. Overall, this approach captured the bases of role commitment (affective, normative, and continuance perspectives), as well as direct perceptions of role commitment, and demonstrated an important link to intentions to return to sport.

体育背景下的角色承诺和接受。

本研究的目标是 (a) 制定角色接受的概念，随后将其置于与运动环境相关的更广泛的角色承诺概念中；(b) 制定一项措施，将角色承诺的直接认知与该变量的基础结合起来；(c) 确定角色承诺是否可以预测运动员回归的意图。为了实现这些目标，在 4 个项目中使用了多种方法，这些方法利用了关于体育和组织心理学的接受和承诺认知的现有文献，让运动员参与有声思考协议的焦点小组，并获得了对新角色的迭代版本的回应- 来自不同竞争和发展水平的 700 多名运动员的承诺调查问卷。总体而言，这种方法抓住了角色承诺的基础（情感、规范和持续性观点）以及对角色承诺的直接感知，并证明了与重返体育运动意图的重要联系。
