Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of psychological capital components on the development of sports participation of veterans and the disabled in Iran. The research was mixed (qualitative-quantitative). The statistical population of the study includes university professors' familiar with sports for the disabled, athletes with disabilities, and managers and experts in sports for the disabled. These individuals were purposefully selected for qualitative interviews on the subject of research (15 people and continued to the point of theoretical saturation). And in the second part (quantitative), the questionnaire was distributed among the disabled in Tehran (384 people). The Conner-Davidson (2003) Resilience Questionnaire, Shearer and Carver (1985) Optimism Questionnaire, Schwarzer and Jerusalem Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (1995) and Schneider (1991) Hopefulness Questionnaire were used to collect data. The questionnaire for the development of participation in public sports, including 24 items, was developed in two main components: psychological and physical factors and social factors. To analyze the data, elongation and skewness indices are used to examine the data distribution, and to review and answer the research questions, first the Max QDA Pro version software and then to examine the demographic status, drawing and modeling. Measurement and structural modeling of SPSS software version 24 and PLS version 0.2 were used. The results showed that resilience, optimism, self-efficacy and hope have a significant effect on the development of participation in public sports for veterans and the disabled. These results can be fruitful in order to prepare the disabled and veterans for a sustainable presence in sports activities.
