초록

This study examined the relationships among athletes' self-emotion appraisal, coping, well-being, and intention to continue exercise based on cognitive-motivational-relational theory. Specifically, we explored the mediating role of problem- and emotion-focused coping in the relationship between self-emotional appraisal and behavioral outcomes. A total of 244 responses were collected from elite athletes affiliated with the Korean Sports Association. Results revealed that self-emotion appraisal positively affected problem- and emotion-focused coping, which, in turn, enhanced athletes' well-being and intention to continue exercise. These findings suggest full mediation, highlighting the importance of emotional intelligence and adaptive coping strategies for fostering sustained athletic engagement and psychological flourishing. This study implies that interventions aimed at enhancing athletes' emotional appraisal and coping skills could play a critical role in optimizing athletes' commitment to sport and their well-being.
