| Abstract |
This study sought to clarify the sex differences in the manifestation of positive and negative affects and the relationship of positive affect to burnout tendencies in university student-athletes. Par...ticipants were 702 male and female university student-athletes. After classifying each gender based on the traits of positive and negative affects, evaluated with the Japanese version of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), the study compared between groups burnout tendencies, as measured by the Athletic Burnout Inventory. Our results indicated the following : First, although no sex differences appeared for positive affect, female athletes showed a higher level of negative expression than male athletes did. Second, sex differences did not differ with regard to burnout tendencies of athletes. Third, no sex difference was observed in the relationship between burnout and positive or negative affect. Fourth, female athletes, tended to draw from the positive affect the direct suppressive effect on the decrease in the individual sense of accomplishment compared to male athletes. Fifth, among the athletes classified with lower expression of negative affect, female athletes were more resistant than male athletes were to the risk of falling into a state of confused self-commitment to a sports event.show more
