There were 202 collegiate injured judo athletes (including: 108 on-site and 94 post-injury athletes) used as the participants. Among them, there were 189 males and 13 females with average ages of 24.6 ± 5.85.All the participants were administered Life Orientation Inventory, Injured Judo Athletes Coping Behavior Inventory and the Profile of Mood State. The collected data were analyzed by two way ANOVA (independent). The results were as follows: 1.The effects of the injured judo athletes’ pessimistic/ optimistic tendency and degree of injury on mood responses: (1) There were no interaction effects of pessimistic/optimistic tendency and degree of injury on mood responses. (2) There were differences of “vitality” and “self-esteem” between injured athletes, and the responses of serious-injured athletes were higher than those of light-injured ones. (3) There was difference of “tenseness” between the athletes with pessimistic/ optimistic tendency, and the pessimistic athletes had high scores than those of optimistic athletes. 2.The effects of the injured judo athletes’ pessimistic/ optimistic tendency and degree of injury on coping behaviors: (1) There were no interaction effects of pessimistic/optimistic tendency and degree of injury on coping behaviors. (2) There were differences of “receiving and growth” and “receiving the facts of injury” between pessimistic/optimistic athletes, and the optimistic athletes had higher scores than those of the pessimistic athletes.
