(3) Self-report inventory as measurement tools: Various new self-report inventories have been proposed to accurately measure emotions in athletes and their effect on athletic performance, contributing critically to the development of empirical research. (4) Emotion awareness and regulation: Mindfulness have been employed by scholars to assist athletes in awaring and regulating their emotions, effectively improving their sports performance under high stress. The study results are expected to further expand knowledge on athletes’positive and negative emotions and performance, in addition to facilitating research and applications relevant to this topic. |
