Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze structural relations among the sport ability beliefs, passion, and athletic burnout of adolescent athletes and the mediating effects of passion on relations between their ability beliefs and athletic burnout. For this purpose, the investigator distributed a questionnaire to male and female athletes at physical education and general high schools in the Seoul metropolitan region and the Chungcheong region through convenience sampling. Total 346 questionnaires were selected as final valid samples. Collected data was tested for the fitness of the overall model and hypotheses with the SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0 programs. The findings were as follows: first, incremental belief, a subfactor of sport ability beliefs, had significant positive (+) effects on passion (harmonious and obsessive passion), whereas fixed belief had significant negative (-) effects on it. Second, both harmonious and obsessive passion had negative (-) impacts on athletic burnout in relations between passion and athletic burnout. Third, incremental and fixed belief had negative (-) and no significant influences on athletic burnout, respectively, in relations between sport ability beliefs and athletic burnout. Finally, only harmonious passion had mediating effects on relations between sport ability beliefs and athletic burnout.
