چکیده

هدف پژوهش حاضر، بررسی ارتباط استحکام ذهنی و تعهد ورزشی ورزشکاران رشته‌های تیمی و انفرادی بود. 196 نفر از ورزشکاران به روش نمونه­گیری دردسترس از رشته‌های ورزشی تیمی و انفرادی انتخاب شدند و پرسش‌نامه­های تعهد ورزشی اسکان لن و همکاران (1993) و استحکام ذهنی کلاف و همکاران (2002) را تکمیل کردند. نتایج همبستگی پیرسون نشان داد که بین استحکام ذهنی و تعهد ورزشی ورزشکاران رشته‌های ورزشی تیمی و انفرادی رابطه وجود دارد و میزان ارتباط استحکام ذهنی و تعهد ورزشی در ورزشکاران انفرادی از تیمی بیشتر بود. همچنین، نتایج رگرسیون چندمتغیره نشان داد که می‌توان براساس میزان استحکام ذهنی به‌صورت معناداری تعهد ورزشی ورزشکاران را پیش‌بینی کرد. براساس یافته‌های پژوهش حاضر می‌توان نتیجه گرفت که احتمالاً استحکام ذهنی ورزشکاران در میزان تعهد ورزشی ورزشکاران اهمیت دارد؛ بنابراین، رشد استحکام ذهنی می‌تواند تعهد ورزشی ورزشکاران را بهبود ببخشد.

For this purpose, 196 athletes were selected through available sampling method from team and individual sport fields.
