The differential interaction effect of mastery and performance climate on athletes’ emotional and physical exhaustion: The role of athletes’ gratitude.

Motivational climate (i.e., mastery and performance climate) has been found to shape athletes’ emotional physical exhaustion, the core dimension of burnout. However, interactional effect between on exhaustion rarely examined. In this study, we proposed that gratitude will determine interaction exhaustion. Specifically, hypothesized among athletes high in gratitude, can mitigate association exhaustion; those low intensify Using a time-lagged survey, data from 293 revealed three-way climate, gratitude. We did not find for but positive was stronger higher than lower climate. Our study offers an interactionist perspective help further understand joint climates by taking role individual differences into account.
