Abstract
This paper reviews literature on the psychological and sociological dynamics of response to sport injury. An integrated model is illustrated which provides a synthesis of existing conceptual models depicting the dynamic process of psychological response to sport injury. This integrated model encompasses personal and situational moderating factors. as well as cognitive, emotional. and behavioral responses of athletes to sport injury. Empirical research on the cognitive appraisals and emotional responses associated with sport injury is reviewed and general themes are summarized. As the cultural context of sport has a major influence on these cognitive appraisals and emotional responses, sociological literature on sport injury is also highlighted. Concluding recommendations are made for future research on the psychological and sociological dimensions of sport injury.
