Abstract
The aim of this paper was to review the literature on the relationship between coping styles and the development of athlete burnout from the perspective of the Stress Response Network Model. PsychINFO, MEDLINE, and SocINDEX were used to perform a systematic search to find the existing relevant literature. Search terms were related to 'coping', 'athletes', and 'burnout'. Studies were included if they measured the relationship between coping style and burnout amongst athletes. A division between active coping style and passive coping style was made. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 15 papers were included in the systematic review. Studies that measured the relationship between active coping style and the development of athlete burnout revealed that there was a negative relationship between the two constructs. Studies that measured passive coping style showed a positive relationship with the onset of athlete burnout. This systematic review concluded that coping style and athlete burnout are related constructs. The use of an active coping style can be seen as a protective mechanism for developing burnout and the use of a passive coping style can be seen as a vulnerability for the onset of athlete burnout. Further research could be focused on the identification of conditions under which athletes adopt a certain coping style and other stressors and stress responses that are related to athlete burnout.
