Abstract
Psychological factors are an important precursor to the onset of sports injuries and also play an important role in injury rehabilitation and ultimately successful return to play. The aim of this research was to predict the psychological vulnerability of sports performance based on the cognitive regulation of emotion and social support in elite student athletes. The descriptive research method is a correlation type and multiple linear regression model. The statistical population of this research includes all the elite athletes of Tehran in the year 2021-2022 with an age range of 18 to 25 years and different skill levels (group and individual athletes), of which 300 people based on James' sample size determination method were selected, the sampling method was accessible. In order to collect data, the Psychological Questionnaire of Sports Performance (IPED) (Hernandez-Mendo, 2006), modified Lohr Psychological Questionnaire, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) (Garnefsky et al., 2002) and Social Support Questionnaire (SPS)( Cutrona and Russell, 1987) were used. The results of the research showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the psychological abilities of performance and the compromised strategies of cognitive emotion regulation (t=9.481, β=14.211, p<0.001) and social support(t=19.052, β=1.278, p<0.001) at the probability level of one percent, and there is a negative relationship between the psychological abilities of performance and the compromised strategies of cognitive emotion regulation(t=-1.396, β=-2.963, p=0.164). It is not statistically significant. Therefore, the results showed that psychological performance increases with the increase of social support and emotional compromise strategies, which naturally reduces the psychological damage to the athletes
