Rumination im Zusammenhang mit dem Erreichen selbst gesetzter Ziele bei leistungssportlich-orientierten Schwimmern

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Die Studie untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Rumination und der persönlichen Zielerreichung bei Leistungssportlern. Im Rahmen einer Längsschnittuntersuchung, haben 44 Schwimmer_innen an einer Onlinebefragung mit vier Messzeitpunkten während der Wettkampfsaison 2014/15 teilgenommen. Der Online-Fragebogen enthielt neben der deutschen Version des Rumination Response Style Questionnaires (RSQ-D; Kühner, Huffziger & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2007), Fragen zu persönlichen Zielen und biographische sowie sportbezogene Fragen. Unter Berücksichtigung der individuellen Angaben zur Zielerreichung am Ende der Wettkampfsaison, wurden die Sportler_innen einer Realisierungsgruppe (n = 17) oder Vergleichsgruppe (n = 27) zugeordnet. Mittels multivarianter Varianzanalyse (MANOVA) wurde getestet, ob globale Unterschiede in der Rumination zu Beginn und am Ende der Wettkampfsaison zwischen den Gruppen bestehen. Sportler_innen, welche ihr individuelles Ziel erreicht haben, weisen im Vergleich zu denjenigen, die ihre Ziele nicht erreicht haben, niedrigere Ruminationswerte auf. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass Rumination im Kontext der Zielerreichung auftritt und ein relevanter Faktor für den Leistungssport darstellen könnte.


Rumination in the Context of Individual Goal Achievement in Performance-Oriented Swimmers

Abstract. We investigated the level of rumination of elite athletes in relation to their personal goal achievement. Within the framework of a longitudinal analysis, 44 elite swimmers completed online questionnaires at four times during the competitive season of 2014/2015 including the German version of the Response Styles Questionnaire (RSQ-D; Kühner, Huffziger, & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2007), personal athletic goals, biographical, and sports-related questions. Regarding the reported individual goal achievement at the end of the season, participants were assigned to a realization (n = 17) or comparison group (n = 27). We applied a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to test overall differences in rumination between both groups at the beginning and at the end of the competitive season. Athletes who fulfilled their goals had lower rumination scores compared with athletes who did not. This suggests that rumination occurs during processes of goal achievement and that rumination might be a relevant factor in competitive sports.
