ABSTRACT Focusing has been used in various fields. However, there are few studies on focusing in the field of sports. Correlations between focusing attitudes and psychological competitive abilities were investigated to provide psychological support for athletes by focusing. Public self-consciousness was considered a parameter mediating between focusing attitudes and psychological competitive abilities. University student-athletes (N = 180; 111 men and 69 women) completed three questionnaires. Path analysis was conducted using covariance structure analysis. Results suggested that focusing attitudes contributed to improving psychological competitive abilities. Regarding the correlation with public self-consciousness, it was predicted that acquiring an attitude of ‘keeping a distance from experiencing (a focusing attitude)’ would reduce anxiety and fear toward evaluation from others, leading to ‘mental stability and concentration (a psychological competitive ability).’ The results indicated that taking an attitude of ‘accepting and acting from experiencing (a focusing attitude),’ contributed to an improvement in ‘self-confidence (a psychological competitive ability),’ leading to positive effects on other factors related to psychological competitive abilities. Based on the above results, it was indicated that acquiring focusing attitudes would increase athletes’ self-confidence and contribute to improvements in overall psychological competitive abilities. The possibility of psychological support for athletes using focusing is suggested.

大学生运动员专注态度、心理竞争力与公众自我意识的相关性

摘要 聚焦已被用于各个领域。然而，关于专注于体育领域的研究很少。研究专注态度与心理竞技能力的相关性，通过专注为运动员提供心理支持。公众自我意识被认为是在关注态度和心理竞争能力之间中介的参数。大学生运动员（N = 180；111 名男性和 69 名女性）完成了三份问卷。使用协方差结构分析进行路径分析。结果表明，专注态度有助于提高心理竞争能力。关于与公众自觉意识的相关性，据预测，获得“与体验保持距离（专注态度）”的态度将减少对他人评价的焦虑和恐惧，从而导致“心理稳定和专注（心理竞争力）”。结果表明，采取“从体验中接受并采取行动（专注态度）”的态度有助于提高“自信心（心理竞争力）”，从而对与心理竞争力相关的其他因素产生积极影响. 以上结果表明，获得专注的态度会增加运动员的自信心，有助于提高整体心理竞争能力。建议为运动员使用聚焦提供心理支持的可能性。
