Getting back: Performance resilience in Division I and community college athletes
by Milham, Laura, M.S., CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, FULLERTON, 2007, 49 pages; 1445552

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was twofold. First, the researcher developed a new questionnaire, the Sport Performance Resilience Survey (SPRS), designed to measure performance-related resilience in athletes. The SPRS consists of twelve subscales based on the resilience research. Kumpfers (1999) resilience framework was used as a guiding theoretical framework in the process of developing the SPRS. The second purpose of this study was to examine performance-related resilience among Division I and community college athletes. The following question was of interest: Do Division I and community college athletes differ in level of sport performance resilience? A total of 106 male and women athletes participated in the study. Division I athletes reported greater (p<.05) focus, self-confidence, and physical health than community college athletes.
