Abstract
We examined the effects of severity of sport injury on psychological response to sport injury, mood state, life stress, fear avoidance, psychological distress, and perceived social support in fifty-five male or female student-athletes that attended Jackson State University, whose ages ranged from 18-25. Student-athletes experienced a minor, moderate, or major sport-related injury during the Fall or Spring semester of the 2016-2017 academic year. Preliminary results indicated significant correlations between the instruments. Data analysis suggests that when a minor, moderate, or major injury occurs, student athletes are overwhelmed with many different emotions such as: frustration, anger, fear of re-injury, and stress.
