臺灣電競選手運動生涯發展歷程及社會支持之研究

Abstract

本研究目的為從社會支持角度分析臺灣電競選手的運動生涯發展歷程、社會支持的變化及社會支持對於電競選手的影響。本研究以深度訪談方式訪談七位臺灣電競選手、一位教練及一位隊友。研究結果發現電競選手的運動發展歷程與電競產業的發展脈絡息息相關，隨著電競選手進入不同的運動發展階段社會支持來源隨之改變。啟蒙期以兄弟姊妹、同學為主，精熟期進入職業後則以教練、隊友、父母為主，網際網路的發展也讓網路社群成員成為目前電競選手重要的社會支持來源，到了離開期則以父母和職業隊伍提供的支持為主。本研究結論為，不同的階段社會支持的來源有所不同，對於電競選手也會產生不同的影響。然而並非僅有正面影響，過度提供與時機不恰當時，社會支持有時也會成為電競選手的壓力來源。
