Mediation effects of self-confidence and sport self-efficacy on the relationship between dimensions of anger and anger control with sport performance
Document Type : Research Paper
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine mediation effects of self-confidence and sport self-efficacy on the relationship between dimensions of anger and anger control with sport performance in a sample of Iranian athletes. A total of 246 volunteer athletes (149 boys, 97 girls) were included in this study. All participants were asked to complete Tehran Multidimensional Anger Scale (TMAS; Besharat, 2007) and Sport Self-Efficacy Scale (SSES; Besharat, 2008). To measure the athletes' sport performance, their coaches were asked to complete the Sport Achevement Scale (SAS; Besharat, Abbasi, & Shojaoldin, 2002). The results revealed that self-confidence and sport self-efficacy mediated the relationship between dimensions of anger and anger control with sport performance. Analysis of the data revealed that mediation effects of self-confidence for the association of anger with sport performance were partial for dimensions of anger and full for dimensions of anger control. Analysis of the data also revealed that mediation effects of sport self-efficacy for the association of anger with sport performance were full for dimensions of both anger and anger control
