Recently, the Dualistic Model of Passion which was proposed by Vallerand and his colleague has been studied abuzz in Sport psychology. Passion is defined as a strong inclination toward an activity that people like, find important, and in which they invest time and energy. This model further posits the existence of two types of passion each associated with different outcomes and experiences. Harmonious passion originates from an autonomous internalization of the activity in identity and leads people to choose th engage in the activity that they love. It is expected to mainly lead to more adaptive outcomes. Conversely, obsessive passion originates from a controlled internalization in identity and leads people to experience an uncontrollable urge to engage in the activity. It is hypothesized to predict less adaptive outcomes. The purpose of the study was to exam the status(level and orientation) of passion in athletes. The sample was composed of 908 college athletes(562 males, 346 females; age=21.3±1.58 years, career=8.4±2.89 years, practice time/day=4.8±1.57 hours) from 12 colleges and 31 kinds of sports. Results of study showed that the majority of athletes were passionate (85.2% of passionate vs. 14.8% of nonpassionate), and passionate athletes were classified in two different groups(44.1% of harmoniously passionate vs. 55.9% of obsessively passionate).
