Abstract

This study aims to analyze structural relationships between emotional regulation and intrinsic motivation and their impact on athletic performance under competitive pressure among elite athletes, using structural equation modeling. A descriptive approach was used with causal relationships, and the sample was a hypothetical number of athletes who were involved in official competitions. A set of validated psychological scales were used to assess emotional regulation, intrinsic motivation and pressure skills performance. The results indicated that emotional regulation had a statistically significant positive direct effect on the intrinsic motivation, whereas emotional regulation and intrinsic motivation had a positive direct effect on athletic performance under competitive pressure. Another indirect effect in which emotional regulation mediated between the two variables of athletic performance and intrinsic motivation was also found. Structural model's quality indicators showed good fit to data, supporting validity of proposed model. The results underscore the significance of the ability to regulate emotions in athletes, which is crucial for fostering self-motivation and performance in demanding competitive environments. According to the study, psychological training programs should be embedded into athletes' training plans, concentrating on the important processes of regulating emotions and building up self-motivation to reach optimal performance. Keywords: Modeling Structural Equation, Emotional Regulation, Self-Motivation, Competitive Pressure, Elite Athletes.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between psychological toughness, competitive anxiety and attentional focus among elite athletes using a pathway analysis framework of the structural equation modeling. The researcher used descriptive approach based on causal relationships, the sample consisted of hypothetical number of elite athletes in official competition. Psychological toughness, competitive anxiety and attentional focus were assessed using a set of validated psychological scales.Results demonstrated a significant negative correlation between the athlete's psychological resilience and his/her competitive anxiety, suggesting that psychological resilience and competitor anxiety are inversely related. The results also showed a direct positive influence of psychological resilience on attentional focus, and a negative influence of competitive anxiety on concentration levels was shown to have an indirect influence via the mediating role of competitive anxiety between psychological resilience and attentional focus (path analysis). These findings highlight importance of developing psychological resilience as a key factor in improving focus and reducing anxiety among elite athletes. Study recommends integrating psychological training programs into training plans, with a focus on developing emotional control skills and enhancing the ability to cope with competitive pressures.
