Summary: | 碩士 === 國立體育學院 === 運動科學研究所 === 91 === The purposes of this study were: (a) to compare the post-injury emotional responses differences in collegiate Taekwondo players in terms of gender roles and social support; (b) to predict the post-injury emotional responses in terms of collegiate Taekwando players’ background, gender roles, and social support. This study recruited 187 collegiate Taekwando players (males=113; females=74)with mean age of 20.84 (SD=±2.09) and administered Emotional Responses Inventory, Chinese Gender Difference Inventory, and Student Athletes Social Support Inventory. With two-way ANOVA analyses, this study found that androgynous players remained higher positive emotions than feminine players after sport injury. However, androgynous players had higher negative emotions than masculine players after injury, while undifferentiated players had higher negative emotions than masculine players. Moreover, this found interaction effect between sport experiences and gender roles. Specifically, this study found players in the medium experienced level, androgynous players had higher negative emotions than masculine players. However, in the less experienced level, undifferentiated players had higher negative emotions than androgynous players. Further, this study found androgynous players with medium experienced level had higher negative emotions than androgynous players with less experienced level. In addition to ANOVA analyses, Pearson’s product-moment correlation analysis found masculine, teammate supports, and family supports positively correlated with positive emotions, while teammate supports positively correlated with negative emotions. Finally, the multiple stepwise regression analysis indicated that the masculine accounted 8.3% variance of positive emotions, while teammate and teacher supports accounted 4.8% variance of negative emotions. This study concluded that many variables may predict athletes’ emotional responses after sport injury. However, gender roles and social support seemed explaining very low in post-injury emotional responses. Future study should explore related personal and situational variables in predicting post-injury emotional responses.
