Abstract des Autors
Affect following ruminations of success and failure in sport was examined for cultural effects. 66 African-American and 84 Native West African athletes completed questionnaires following ruminations about their most successful athletic experience, and again following ruminations about their worst failure. Analysis suggested that affect following ruminations of successful experiences was more positive than those following failure. Cultural differences were noted in the affective responses following ruminations of success. African athletes tended to be more positive in general and self-related affect following ruminations of success and slightly more negative following ruminations of failure than American athletes.
