Reprogramming the Psychology of Success: The Reflections of Wearable Technologies in Athletes’ Emotional and Motivational Dynamics
Abstract
This study explores how wearable technologies are integrated into athletes’ emotional and motivational experiences through a qualitative approach grounded in the psychology of success. Interviews were conducted with professional athletes from various disciplines, and the data were categorized under five main themes: adoption of wearable technologies and initial motivations, training planning and habit formation through wearable technologies, the role of feedback in motivation and self-confidence, technological dependence and critical awareness, and future expectations and long-term motivation. The findings reveal that wearable devices go beyond merely tracking physiological data and play a role in enhancing self-awareness, self-discipline, self-esteem, and intrinsic motivation. Moreover, real- time data was found to support athletes’ self-regulation skills, although potential risks such as technology addiction, data privacy concerns, and the over-quantification of self-perception were not sufficiently recognized. The study positions wearable technologies as significant digital companions that reshape athletes’ psychology of success and offers an original contribution to the literature.
