The effect of team cohesion on mental toughness: a mediation and moderation mixed study based on COR theory
Team cohesion not only directly enhances athletes' mental toughness but also indirectly influences it through the independent and chained mediating effects of social support and self-identity. Future interventions could focus on enhancing team cohesion to increase athletes' social support and strengthen their self-identity, thereby improving mental toughness.
