Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that determine the success or failure of motor performance under psychological pressure from the viewpoint of the subjective experiences of athletes. Ten Japanese elite level athletes participated a semi-structured interview which designated to ask them to describe their experiences of performing under pressure. The taped and transcribed interviews were analyzed using the modified grounded theory approach to extract the factors that determine the motor performance under pressure. The analysis revealed that there are little differences in symptoms between the cases of success and failure under pressure and that the differences were in how they recognized and coped with the symptoms.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

心理的プレッシャーが運動パフォーマンスを低下させる「あがり」については、これまでに多くの研究が行われてきた。特に、心理面、生理面、行動面における数多くの症状が客観的に明らかにされてきた。しかしながら、アスリートの主観的な知覚や認知の体験を対象とした研究については、「あがり」が生じた事例のみが対象として調べられてきたため、パフォーマンスが低下しなかった事例との比較を行なった上での知見は得られていなかった。本研究では、プレッシャー下で実力発揮に成功した事例と失敗した事例を比較することにより、成功と失敗を分ける要因を明らかにすることに成功した点に新規性があった。
