Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science in Exercise and Health Studies, Miami University, Exercise and Health Studies.
Recent research has defined and conceptualized a form of sport confidence, known as robust sport confidence (RSC), as a stable, protective, and strong set of beliefs that enable athletes to deal with adversity, setbacks, and challenges that occur regularly in sport. (Thomas et al., 2011). The purpose of this study was to identify possible predictors of RSC in collegiate athletes. The study included 236 collegiate athletes across multiple sports. Participants completed a set of quantitative inventories regarding athlete trait RSC, Vealey and colleagues’ (1998) nine sources of sport confidence, and optimism. Two open-ended questions were also included to give the participants a chance to discuss other potential predictors of sport confidence previously not considered. The present study was one of the first to examine the interrelationships between RSC and other psychological constructs.
