| Abstract: |
| Back ground and Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of forgiveness training program on perception of failure in terms of internal-external attributional style. Among all the concerns in the world of sports, the researcher's attention is focused on the players experiences related to failure. That is because even the best players have experienced at least one defeat. For instance out of 64 participants in individual competition, 63 of them will experience failure. This will create a challenge for the players. The challenge is that in order to succeed, they must increase their ability to cope with failure. Material and methods: This study was practical quasi-experimental and had pre-test, post-test, control group with intervals. Participants were 24 volleyball players in level two league in Isfahan who were chosen non-randomly but grouped randomly into controlled and experimental groups. The instruments for gathering the data were HFS (heartland forgiveness scale) and SASS (sport attritional style scale). In this study, descriptive statistics were used to determine central tendency (mean) and statistical dispersion (standard deviation) and Shapiro-Wilk Test to determine if the data was normal and to analyze the research hypothesis, T-test was used for independent group. All the data was analyzed using SPSS (P ≤0.05). Results: The results of this study showed that forgiveness training had significant effect on failure perception with internal-external attributional style (0.02). Conclusion: Forgiveness training, therefor, is likely to replace athlete's perception of failure with external- internal subscales. In other studies, the effect of forgiveness training on failure perception needs to be addressed in terms of the subscales of attributional style. |
