ABSTRACT

Understanding the personality characteristics that help and/or hinder competitive success in sport is of great interest to many sport psychology researchers. Grit (i.e. passion and perseverance towards long-term goals) is one such construct that has recently gained popularity in the sport domain. This scoping review explored the associations between grit and the cognitive, affective, and behavioural variables that reside within athletes and sport settings. Ninety publications were identified through various search strategies. The majority of studies explored relationships between grit and athlete sex, athlete skill/competitive level, sport performance, motivation, mindfulness, self-compassion, and deliberate practice. Constructs that have been previously critiqued as sharing significant variance with grit were also collated from the existing research. Six collegiate-level coaches were consulted as knowledgeable stakeholders and provided input to the results of the scoping review. These results allowed for the identification of future research considerations, including ameliorating current issues regarding grit measurement in sport contexts, and the designing and testing of interventions aimed at increasing athlete grit levels. Additional research with stronger methodological design and rigour is needed, and recommendations to enhance the quality of future studies with athletes are discussed.

摘要

许多运动心理学研究人员对了解有助于和/或阻碍运动竞争成功的人格特征非常感兴趣。勇气（即对长期目标的热情和毅力）就是最近在体育领域流行起来的一种结构。本范围审查探讨了毅力与运动员和运动环境中存在的认知、情感和行为变量之间的关联。通过各种搜索策略确定了 90 篇出版物。大多数研究探讨了毅力与运动员性别、运动员技能/竞争水平、运动表现、动机、正念、自我同情和刻意练习之间的关系。先前被批评为与砂砾具有显着差异的构造也从现有研究中进行了整理。六名大学级别的教练作为知识渊博的利益相关者接受了咨询，并为范围界定审查的结果提供了意见。这些结果允许确定未来的研究考虑因素，包括改善与运动环境中的毅力测量有关的当前问题，以及旨在提高运动员毅力水平的干预措施的设计和测试。需要具有更强的方法学设计和严谨性的额外研究，并讨论了提高运动员未来研究质量的建议。这些结果允许确定未来的研究考虑因素，包括改善与运动环境中的毅力测量有关的当前问题，以及旨在提高运动员毅力水平的干预措施的设计和测试。需要具有更强的方法学设计和严谨性的额外研究，并讨论了提高运动员未来研究质量的建议。这些结果允许确定未来的研究考虑因素，包括改善与运动环境中的毅力测量有关的当前问题，以及旨在提高运动员毅力水平的干预措施的设计和测试。需要具有更强的方法学设计和严谨性的额外研究，并讨论了提高运动员未来研究质量的建议。
