“…These mechanisms are in line with the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotion (Fredrickson, 2000(Fredrickson, , 2001, which suggests that repeated positive emotions broaden one's scope of cognition and action, and, thus, gradually build enduring social, physical, intellectual, and psychological resources to be used in the future. All these reasons support a consistent finding that people who have higher gratitude disposition are more likely to have higher well-being (e.g., Chen & Kee, 2008;Flinchbaugh et al, 2012;Krause et al, 2012;Lambert et al, 2011).…”

“…However, in the Taiwan version, one item was dropped due to the non-significant factor loading, and thus the GQ-T has five items in assessing an individual's trait gratitude. Previous studies that used the GQ-T with an athlete sample also provided satisfactory evidence to support its validity and reliability (Chen, in press;Chen & Kee, 2008). In this study, we used these items to assess state gratitude by asking participants to respond to each item on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (7).…”

“…Following this trend, gratitude, defined as "a general tendency to recognize and respond with grateful emotion to the roles of other people's benevolence in the positive experiences and outcomes that one obtains" (McCullough, Emmons, & Tsang, 2002, p. 112), has been consistently found to positively relate to people's social relationships, well-being, and physical health (e.g., Algoe, Haidt, & Gable, 2008;Chen & Kee, 2008;Froh, Kashdan, Ozimkowski, & Miller, 2009;McCullough et al, 2002).…”

“…In their definition, gratitude is an affective trait that is sensitive to the positive interpersonal interaction that entails grateful emotion. Researchers have consistently found gratitude to be positively related to multiple people's well-being indicators across cultures, samples, and methods (e.g., Chen & Kee, 2008;Flinchbaugh, Moore, Chang, & May, 2012;Krause, Evans, Powers, & Hayward, 2012;Lambert, Fincham, & Stillman, 2011).…”

“…Com relação aos diferentes indicadores de validação, informações produzidas originalmente quando da proposição do instrumento são confirmadas por outros estudos 15,16 , apontando, portanto, seu potencial para análise de burnout em atletas. O ABQ foi originalmente idealizado em língua inglesa; porém, vem sendo traduzido, adaptado e validado para uso em vários outros idiomas, como é o caso de alemão 17 , árabe 18 , chinês 19 , espanhol 20 , francês 6 , norueguês 21 , português europeu 22 e sueco 23 , o que permite a expansão de sua utilização para outras culturas. Versão brasileira do ABQ foi proposta em estudo que reuniu atletas adultos de alto rendimento, com idade média próxima de 25 .…”

RESUMOO objetivo do estudo foi identificar propriedades psicométricas para atletas jovens brasileiros do Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ). O inventário foi administrado em amostra de 1217 atletas jovens (410 moças e 807 rapazes) com idades entre 12 e 17 anos. Para identificar as propriedades psicométricas iniciais foi realizada análise fatorial exploratória e, na sequência, análise fatorial confirmatória. Para análise da consistência interna de cada fator associado ao burnout foi empregado coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. Os resultados confirmaram estrutura de três fatores originalmente proposta (exaustão física/emocional, reduzido senso de realização pessoal e desvalorização esportiva), mediante indicadores estatísticos equivalentes à χ ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to identify the psychometric properties to the Brazilian young athletes of the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ). The inventory was administered in sample of 1217 young athletes (410 girls and 807 boys) aged 12 to 17 years-old. To identify initial psychometric properties exploratory factorial analysis were completed and, sequentially confirmatory factorial analysis. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to assess the internal consistency of each factor of the ABQ associated to burnout. Results confirmed structure of three factors originally proposed (physical/emotional exhaustion, reduced sense of accomplishment, and sport devaluation), through statistical indicators equivalent to χ 2 /gl = 2.89, CFI = 0.930, GFI = 0.928, AGFI = 0.937 e RMSR = 0.068 [IC 90% : 0.065 -0.072]. The Cronbach-alpha ranged from 0.80 to 0.87. In conclusion, the psychometric qualities of the ABQ were satisfactory for Brazilian young athletes, thus enabling its application in future studies in Brazil. Keywords: Questionnaire. Psychometrics. Physical education and training. IntroduçãoBurnout é um tema de interesse crescente na literatura vinculada ao esporte. Atletas podem ser acometidos por essa síndrome em razão de complexa interação entre múltiplos fatores de estresse, recuperação inadequada e frustração por expectativas e metas não-alcançadas 1 . Por conta de demandas cada vez mais exigentes em treinos e competições, associadas à pressão por melhores resultados impostas pela midia, pelas organizações esportivas e pelos treinadores, fazem com que atualmente o burnout seja considerado um problema real no contexto esportivo 2 . Especificamente no caso de atletas jovens, estes podem auto-impor solicitações além de suas possibilidades, por consequência, fazendo com que o desempenho apresentado não atenda suas metas estabelecidas para o esporte 3 . Ainda, o receio de não satisfazer expectativas estabelecidas por treinadores, familiares e amigos também pode gerar fonte de estresse adicional, especialmente se o jovem atribui ao esporte importante meio de realização pessoal 4 . Estudos têm mostrado que burnout em atletas jovens está relacionado à falta de prazer e motivação para prática de esporte 5 , à insatisfação com necessidades psicológicas básicas -

With the development of positive psychology, gratitude, as a typical positive emotion, has attracted significant attention. Gratitude has a profoundly positive effect on cultivating people's positive traits, and negative emotions affect many aspects of people's daily lives. Many studies have explored the inhibiting effect of gratitude on negative emotions. In this study, based on the coping theory and the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotion, we used scenario method to discuss the inhibiting effect of trait gratitude and state gratitude on a common and typical negative emotion: situational envy. We randomly recruited 326 undergraduate students as participants and asked them to complete the Gratitude Questionnaire, Dispositional Envy Scale, state gratitude materials, and situational envy materials.Our results showed that (1) state gratitude inhibits situational envy and (2) state gratitude plays a partial mediating role between trait gratitude and situational envy. This article suggests educational field for future school should devote more attention to gratitude, and lay a good foundation for students' future development in society. Taken together, these results verify the positive role of gratitude, help to expand relevant theories about inhibiting envy, and provide a theoretical reference for cultivating people's positive traits and countering negative emotions.
