There was no interaction between the sport-related graduating students’ athletic standard and athletic identity and anxiety of pre-occupational career polices, but athletic standard has primary effects in anxiety of pre-occupational career polices.
The research suggested that the athletes who had participated in the Region/National Sports and had been collegiate representatives had higher sense of anxiety when facing pre-occupational career polices. And, the participants who had been representatives in national teams had lower sense of anxiety when facing the same situation. Furthermore, participants with high athletic identity had higher sense of anxiety than those with middle/low athletic identity when facing pre-occupational career polices.
2. The influence of the sport-related graduating students’ athletic standard and athletic identity on coping strategies.
