“…On the other hand, OP represents a controlled internalization, implying the activity maintains control over individuals, and thus is prioritized over other responsibilities. As a result, research has found HP to affect other life domains positively (Luth, Flinchbaugh, & Ross, ; Stenseng & Phelps, ) as well as to be associated with greater life satisfaction (Lafrenière, Vallerand, & Sedikides, ), higher intimacy with romantic partners (Ratelle, Carbonneau, Vallerand, & Mageau, ), and healthier psychological adjustment during retirement (Houlfort et al ., ). Similar studies have found OP to be associated with greater burnout (Carbonneau, Vallerand, Fernet, & Guay, ; Donahue et al ., ), weaker global self‐esteem (Stenseng & Dalskau, ), poorer interpersonal relationships (Vallerand et al ., ), and greater aggression towards another team and their fans (Bureau, Vallerand, Ntoumanis, & Lafrenière, ; Donahue, Rip, & Vallerand, ; Vallerand et al ., ).…”

Research applying self-determination theory and the dualistic model of passion (DMP) has shown video games may satisfy basic psychological needs (i.e., competence, autonomy, and relatedness) and be identified as a passion. The DMP distinguishes between healthy or harmonious passion and problematic or obsessive passion (OP), with the latter reflecting an overreliance towards one's passion to obtain needs satisfaction. The experience of daily obstructions to needs satisfaction, or needs frustration (NF), may facilitate such an overreliance. This study explored how NF and both types of passion explain the amount of time that university students spend gaming. The overall association between NF and time spent gaming was not significant. However, for video game users with low levels of OP for gaming, there was a significant negative association between NF and time spent gaming. Additionally, evidence of a mutually reinforcing association between NF and OP for gaming indicates that a vicious cycle exists, whereby a strong OP for gaming predicts and is reinforced by greater NF. The theoretical implications are discussed.

“…work). In a cross-sectional study, for example, Luth et al (2017) found that when individuals, in general, experienced cycling to be positively integrated in their identity, they were more likely to be satisfied with their work. Our findings indicate that intraindividual changes in work engagement are related to intraindividual changes in pace variability.…”

Many employees worldwide combine a job with serious, goal-oriented ambitions in the athletic domain. However, scientific knowledge about day-today linkages between work and sports is lacking. We filled this gap in the literature by examining how experiences at work can enrich sports after work. Extending the work-home resources model to the work-sports interface, we posited that proactive work behaviors positively relate to work engagementa state that may permeate into the sports domain and relate to positive sports outcomes. We conducted a diary study among 170 working recreational runners (598 measurement occasions). Within a three-week period, participants completed two surveys on days they worked and ran after work. Survey 1, completed at the end of the workday, covering proactive work behavior and work engagement, and survey 2, completed after running and covering running performance. The results of multilevel structural equation modeling indicated that on days employees showed more proactive behavior, they also reported higher work engagement. In turn, on days they reported higher work engagement, they recorded a steadier running pace. We discuss how these findings support the phenomenon of work-to-sports spillover and contribute to the current understanding of the interplay between work and sports.

“…De acordo com os autores, embora as paixões possam vir de uma variedade de atividades, desde passar tempo com amigos até tocar violão, os indivíduos frequentemente encontram paixão em algum tipo de atividade esportiva, podendo refletir em maior autonomia, desempenho esportivo, satisfação no trabalho Charest;Lacaille;Bouffard & Koestner, 2009;Brewer & Le Scanff, 2010;Luth;Flinchbaugh & Ross, 2016) e até mesmo em menor afeto positivo e autoestima (Stenseng & Dalskau, 2010;Stoeber;Harvey;Ward & Childs, 2011;Gustafsson;Hassmén & Hassmén, 2014), conforme o tipo de internalização que ocorre na identidade do indivíduo.…”

The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature on studies involving passion and individual sports. The searches were led by Scopus, Sport Discus, PubMed, PsycINFO, Science Direct, Scielo, Lilacs and Web of Science databases. The data were analyzed by the content analysis technique of the categorical type. The review included 18 studies published in the period of 2009 to 2018, with a quantitative (94.4%) and qualitative (5.6%) character to investigate the passion in the sports context. The age of the participants ranged from 12 to 81 years and the majority of the samples were composed of 100 to 300 athletes (76.5%), being a large part of the studies performed with both sexes (88.8%) and most researches developed in Europe (50%). The results revealed a greater number of studies associating negative characteristics with obsessive passion, such as fear of failure and negative affection, besides being associated with low global self-esteem, burnout and stress. Regards to harmonious passion, positive associations with positive affect, athletic identity and sports performance were observed. It was concluded that the passion related to individual sports is associated with positive and negative psychological factors, so that the predominance of these factors depends on the form of internalization of the passion in the identity of the subject, presenting beneficial effects or not to its performance and other activities performed.
