다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to investigate causal attributions of "excitement" experiences in athletes. The questionnaire was consisted of competitive events and levels, level of "excitement", causal attributions of "excitement", public self-consciousness and social anxiety. Out of a total 370 athletes, 356 athletes(288 male students and 68 female students) filled out the questionnaire completely and were included in subsequent analysis. The main findings are summarized as follows.
1) A factor analysis of their responses (causal attributions of "excitement") revealed six factors: "worry about failure", "pressure of responsibility", "unfamiliarity of game situations", "personality traits", "insufficiency" and "other awareness".
2) The relationship between competitive events and 6 factors of causal attributions were not found significantly in this study. But only in performance type event(gymnastics and rhythmic sportive gymnastics), the factor of "other awareness" scored higher than those of other competitive events.
3) In 4 factors of causal attributions: "unfamiliarity of game situations", "personality traits", "insufficiency" and "other awareness", the athletes of national level scored lower than those of district level, and municipal level. However, in "pressure of responsibility" the athletes of national level scored higher than others.
4) Between athletic years(over 10 years and under 10 years), the athletes for over 10 years showed significantly lower scores than those of under 10 years in all of factors.
5) The higher the athlete's levels of "excitement" was, the higher his or her public self-consciousness and social anxiety were.
