Research Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if optimism was related to preoperative and postoperative mood, pain, coping and recovery speed among Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injured athletes. Another purpose of this study was to examine how optimism influences the effectiveness of psychological skills training among injured athletes. In the first study, participants were 68 ACL injured patients who were considered to be physically active by sport medicine orthopedists. The results showed that optimism was positively related to positive interpretation and negatively related to tension (after operation). In the second study, four injured athletes participated in this study and received psychological skills training. The participants in the high optimism rated the effectiveness of the cognitive intervention on physical and psychological recovery to be higher than the participants in the low optimism.
