Resumo
O presente estudo, de caráter exploratório, objetiva conhecer e compreender as relações
e interações entre as competências psicológicas e os processos de avaliação cognitiva na
emergência e na resposta de stresse aos estímulos e situações do contexto desportivo.
107 jovens atletas do sexo masculino, com idades compreendidas entre os 10 e os 16 anos,
de diversas modalidades e escalões competitivos, participaram no presente estudo. A todos
os participantes foi administrado um protocolo de avaliação psicológica que incluía:
Questionário Sociodemográfico e Desportivo, Inventário de Competências Psicológicas para
o Desporto e Escala de Avaliação Cognitiva da Competição Desportiva – Perceção de
Ameaça.
Os resultados do estudo demonstraram que as competências psicológicas desempenham
um papel importante na avaliação cognitiva de ameaça, uma vez que, as competências
psicológicas evidenciaram estar negativamente correlacionadas com a perceção de ameaça
e também revelaram predizer negativamente os níveis de perceção de ameaça experienciados
pelos jovens atletas durante a competição desportiva. O estudo contribui para a identificação
dos principais conteúdos de perceção de ameaça em jovens atletas, bem como para a
identificação das principais dificuldades apresentadas ao nível das competências
psicológicas. Por último, este estudo evidenciou a existência de diferenças nas competências
psicológicas em função da modalidade praticada, da idade de início da prática da modalidade
e das horas semanais de prática desportiva.
Desta forma, o estudo permitiu concluir quanto à importância das relações e interações
entre diversas variáveis e processos psicológicos interdependentes na explicação da
experiência de stresse em contextos desportivos. A informação disponibilizada no presente
estudo pretende contribuir para a implementação de intervenções psicológicas mais eficazes
na redução dos níveis de stresse experienciados pelos jovens atletas.
This exploratory study aims to know and understand the relationships and interactions between psychological skills and cognitive appraisal processes in emergency and stress response to stimuli and situations in the context of sports. 107 young male athletes , aged between 10 and 16 years, of different competitive levels and sport modalities , participated in the study. A psychological assessment protocol was applied to all participants which included: Sociodemographic and Sports Survey, Psychological Skills Inventory for Sports and Cognitive Appraisal Scale in Sport Competition – Threat Perception. The results of the study demonstrated that psychological skills play an important role in cognitive appraisal of threat, since psychological skills seem to be negatively correlated with threat perception and they also seem to negatively predict the perception threat levels experienced by young athletes during sport competition. The study contributes to the identification of the main contents of threat perception in young athletes, as well as to identify the main difficulties presented at the level of psychological skills. Finally, this study showed the existence of differences in psychological skills depending on the practiced sport modality, the age of onset of the practice modality and the weekly hours of sports. Thus, the study allowed to conclude upon the importance of relationships and interactions between different variables and interdependent psychological processes in explaining the stress experience in the context of sports. The information available in the present study aims to contribute to the implementation of more effective psychological interventions in reducing stress levels experienced by young athletes .
