다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of fencing athletes' coping flexibility on grit and performance. To this end, a survey was conducted on a sample of 435 fencing athletes registered with the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee, including high school, college, and corporate team players.
Scales for coping flexibility, grit, and performance were used as measurement tools. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 25.0 program. The results of the study are as follows. First, among the sub-factors of coping flexibility, psychological strategy and situational appraisal had a positive effect on all sub-factors of grit (perseverance of effort, sense of purpose, and consistency of interest), while behavioral change had a negative effect on perseverance of effort. Second, the analysis of the effect of coping flexibility on performance revealed that only the situational appraisal factor had a positive effect on performance. Third, regarding the effect of grit on performance, only the consistency of interest factor was found to have a significant positive effect on performance. In conclusion, this study suggests that coping capabilities to positively appraise stressful situations and psychological mechanisms to maintain interest in training are key factors for improving fencing athletes' performance. The findings of this study can serve as foundational data for enhancing fencing athletes' performance and developing psychological skills training programs.
