Summary: | 碩士 === 國立體育學院 === 運動科學研究所 === 83 === The purpose of this study was (1) to examine the effects of
goal orientation and Win/loss on subjects'' attributions; (2) to
examine the predictive utility of three-dimensional
attributions on specific emotions; (3) the effects of goal
orientations and win/loss on subjects'' general emotions and
specific emotions. Subjects were 80 male college students (mean
age = 21.8 + 1.8 years) selected from 274 students who enrolled
in basketball classes. Subjects were either high task/low ego
orientation (n=40) or high ego/low task orientation (n=40)
determined by Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire.
During this field experiment, subjects were asked to play one-
on-one basketball game for 5 minutes. Subjects were also asked
to complete a questionnaire which included their attributions
and emotions after the game. The results indicated that: (1)
subjects who won the game tended to attribute greater "luck"
than subjects who lost the game. In addition, subjects who
were high ego/low task oriented tended to attribute . On the
other hand, subjects who were high task/low ego-oriented and
won the game tended to attribute greater luck; (2)When won the
game, subjects'' attribution of causality significantly
predicted the emotions such as "gratitude" and "confidence".
Stability significantly predicted "pride". When lost the game,
subjects'' attribution of causality significantly predicted
"competence". Controllability significantly predicted
"depression"; (3) In accord with Weiners'' prediction, general
emotions were significantly predicted by the outcome of the
game. In addition, there was no significant effects of goal
orientations on subjects'' specific emotions regardless of
winning or losing. In summary, the results of this study
indicated that attribution theory is useful in terms of
predicting attributions and emotions. Future study to further
examine the attribution theory and goal perspective theory is
warranted.
