Manifestarea stărilor emoționale și a rezilienței psihologice în funcție de specificul activității sportive [Articol]

Abstract

The study aimed to analyze the relationship between emotional states (depression, anxiety, and stress) and psychological resilience according to the specificity of sports activities. The primary objectives included examining theoretical perspectives on emotional states and psychological resilience, assessing the levels of resilience and negative emotions among individuals engaged and not engaged in sports, and determining correlations between these variables. The research employed standardized psychological instruments, specifically the DASS-21 Scale for depression, anxiety, and stress, and the Psychological Resilience Scale adapted by Leontiev and Raskazova. Participants were categorized into four groups based on their involvement in team sports, individual organized sports, recreational physical activities, or absence of sports activities. Results demonstrated that individuals actively involved in sports displayed significantly higher levels of psychological resilience and lower levels of negative emotional states compared to non-sports participants. Particularly, recreational physical activities emerged as most effective in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, while organized individual sports enhanced psychological resilience and risk-taking.
