| dc.description.abstract | Grounded within the motivational framework of Achievement Goal Theory (AGT)
and the transactional stress perspective, the purpose of the present dissertation was to
investigate how elite athletes perceive and cope with organizational and media stressors. The evidence from all six papers supports the usefulness of the transactional stress
perspective to study stress perceived by elite athletes’. Categories of organizational stressors
(core categories such as coach and team issues and also cultural peculiarities) and media
stress (positive and negative coverage as well as the journalists) were perceived as stressful in
the 6 papers. Use of coping strategies such as coach support, social support, problem-focused
strategies, and avoidance coping were used by participants to cope with both organizational
and media stressors. Data analysis revealed further evidence that elite athletes’ perceptions of
stress may be influenced by the motivational climate created by the coach; hence, creating
and maintaining mastery oriented climates can reduce stress as an adaptive coping strategy. | en_US |
