Identify The Key Dimensions Of Athlete Psychological Safety By Analyzing The Content Of Ten Outstanding Scientific Articles

Abstract

Abstract

Nowadays, mental illness affects most athletes at a rate comparable to that of the general population, and coaches and staff are becoming more and more acknowledged as potential risk factors. The main goal of the research is to determine the psychological safety characteristics of athletes by analyzing 10 highly regarded research publications that were published in the Scopus Statistical Database. Examining prior studies closely, this study aims to distinguish between several aspects of psychological safety. 214 international articles from diverse sources throughout the globe were published on the Scopus Standards Base to investigate and identify the psychological safety features of the athletes who were chosen and analyzed in order to meet the stated goal. The study evaluated psychological safety factors in the sports industry and conducted search and identification operations for relevant papers using specialized tools and software, including Publish OR Perish, Excel, RStudio, and Maxqda2020. Four quarters in the psychological safety and exercise biology—mental health, emotional regulation, positive feedback, and supportive environments—were found to be repeated in the top ten articles in the field based on the results of this analysis and content analysis. Generally acquired familiarity with dimensions and basic attention to these cases can put athletes mentally in the best condition, have less chance of injury, and lead to their best performance on the professional path. In other words, mental balance facilitates athletic progress and allows athletes to make the most of their talents.
