다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Studies on association and dissociation have not produced consistent findings. While several studies(e. g., Morgan & Pollock, 1977: Acevedo, Dzewaltowski, Gill, & Noble, 1992) reported that elite marathoners used more associative strategies, some laboratory experiments(e. g., Gill & Strom, 1985: Weinberg, Jackson, & Gould, 1984) revealed that dissociative strategies were more effective in performing endurance tasks. Meta-analytic techniques were employed to integrate available literature on the issue. Major findings suggested that dissociative condition was aligned with performance improvement over associative strategies(ES=0.34). Dissociation was also found to be considerably effective in persisting endurance task compared with control condition(ES=0.49). However, subjects employed in the association/dissociation studies were characterized as untrained college students. Thus, limited sample characteristics of the previous studies warrant further investigations. Future research should be directed toward the use of more reliable and controlled research designs, and the link between attentional strategy and peak performance experience.
