Summary
Details

Guided by the ironic process theory and its extensions, the dissertation research aimed at (a)

studying the thought suppression paradox in student athletes, (b) exploring the efficacy of an

acceptance-mindfulness intervention in decreasing the thought suppression paradox, and (c)

using working memory capacity (WMC) to explain individual differences on the susceptibility to

the thought suppression paradox. A total of 90 NCAA Division I student athletes were recruited

and randomly assigned to three conditions (i.e., suppression, control, and intervention). All the

athletes performed a set of computerized complex span tasks (i.e., operation, reading, and

symmetry span), and then completed a task pair in each of the two thought-control phases (i.e.,

amid, post). The task pair consisted of a thought-monitoring task and a two-color Stroop task.

According to the condition assignment, each athlete applied a strategy for controlling the thought

of a recent athletic failure when performing the task pairs, and his/her EEG was simultaneously

recorded. Results generally supported the existence of thought suppression paradox and the

efficacy of an acceptance-mindfulness intervention in student athletes, although WMC failed to

account for individual differences. Theoretical and applied implications are discussed.
