| Summary: | 碩士 === 臺北市立大學 === 競技運動訓練研究所 === 105 === The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status and relationship among basic need satisfaction, anxiety, and psychological flexibility of collegiate athletes. The study participants through purposive sampling was administered using inventories, which included Basic Need Satisfaction Scale, Chinese Three-Factor Anxiety Inventory (Cheng, Hardy, & Markland, 2011), and Psychological Flexibility Measure. Total of 367 valid questionnaires were retrieved. The main findings of the research were as follows:
1. Collegiate athletes had moderate to high basic need satisfaction, and relatedness dimension was the highest; athletes who were specialized in group sports had higher basic need satisfaction than those specialized in individual sports; athletes who were specialized in group sports and closed-skill sports had higher competence than those specialized in individual sports; athletes who were male, having high frequency training times or higher perceition of sports skill had higher basic need satisfaction.
2. The regulatory dimension of anxiety was the highest; male collegiate athletes or athletes of higher competition level had higher regulatory dimension of anxiety; athletes who had higher perceition of sports skill had lower physiological anxiety; athletes who had higher training frequency or higher perceition of sports skill had lower cognitive anxiety as well as higher regulatory dimension of anxiety.
3. Collegiate athletes had moderate to high psychological flexibility; athletes who were specialized in closed-skill sports had higher psychological flexibility than those specialized in individual sports; athletes who were male or having higher perceition of sports skill had higher psychological flexibility.
4. Autonomy, competence, relatedness and psychological flexibility were moderate to high correlated positively. Competence and relatedness positively predicted psychological flexibility, where competence showed the highest predictive power.
5. The regulatory dimension of anxiety and psychological flexibility had moderate and positive correlation, whereas cognitive anxiety and psychological flexibility had low positive correlation. Both the regulatory dimension of anxiety and cognitive anxiety positively predicted psychological flexibility, while the regulatory dimension of anxiety showed the highest predictive power. Physiological anxiety had a low and negative prediction on psychological flexibility.
6. Autonomy, competence, relatedness and the regulatory dimension of anxiety have moderate to high positive correlations. Autonomy, competence, relatedness positively predicted the regulatory dimension of anxiety, where competence showed the highest predictive power.
