ABSTRACT:
The present study examined the mood state, total mood disturbance and motivations of 160 male and 89 female triathletes who competed in an annual triathlon in Victoria, B.C. All subjects completed the profile of mood states (POMS) questionnaire and a motivational rating scale following the event. In addition 20 male and 20 female randomly selected competitors completed the POMS two months later. MANOVA results indicated significant differences in mood states only for groups based on ability and the two different times that the POMS was completed. Successful females had higher psychic vigor, lower tension, and lower total mood disturbance over unsuccessful females while successful males had lower depression than unsuccessful males. Results demonstrated higher confusion and lower psychic vigor for females on the test completed two months following the event. The study also discussed the different motivations for the perfomrance and the "iceberg" profile of competitors. Looks at the mood state, total mood disturbance, and motivations of male (n=160) and female (n=89) triathletes competing in an annual triathlon in British Columbia. Subjects complete the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and a motivational rating scale following the event. Additionally, randomly selected male (n=20) and female (n=20) competitors complete the POMS two months later. MANOVA results indicate significant differences in mood states only for groups based on ability and the two different times that the POMS was completed. Successful females show higher psychic vigour, lower tension, and lower total mood disturbance over unsuccessful females, while successful males have lower depression than unsuccessful males. Results show higher confusion and lower psychic vigour for females on the later test.
