Exploration Of The Structure Of Human-horse Relationship And Development Of Scale Based On Grounded Theor

In order to promote the all-round development of competitive sports,equestrian sports have been given an important mission.However,sports injury has become a constraint factor for equestrian athletes to get a great results,and the relationship between man and horse has been proved to be one of the important reasons for that.Therefore,based on the perspective of athletes,this study takes high-level equestrian athletes,coaches and experts in the field of equestrian sports education as the main research objects,and takes literature,theoretical modeling and data validation as the main methods to discuss 3 issues: 1)What should be the connotation of human-horse relationship? 2)How does the internal mechanism of human-horse relationship work?3)Are there any relevant evaluative tools for athletes which can judge the focus of practice? The results show that: 1)The relationship between athletes and horses should include athlete’s demand transmission,horse’s relational demand,horse’s subjective recognition,expectation and cooperation;2)The ‘model of internal role and external intervention path of human-horse relationship’ includes 284 initial concepts,13 subcategories and 5 main categories.Meanwhile,we get the following substantive theory:Firstly,individual behavior and personal accomplishment are interactive.Secondly,individual behavior and personal accomplishment affect the formation of horse accomplishment,which interferes with the development of individual behavior and personal accomplishment.Thirdly,training factors and the relationship between human and horse positively regulate the role and intervention path of athletes and horses,the role and intervention path of athletes and horses is also an important embodiment of the relationship between people and horses;3)The ‘Perceived Scale of Human-horse Relationship’ has good reliability and validity after being revised,which includes 5first-level indicators,13 second-level indicators and 47 items.The training factors account for the largest proportion,and the training content of human and horse takes a higher weight in the training factors.It can be concluded that to investigate the relationship between people and horses,we should firstly examine the scientificity and integrity of the training content of athletes and horses,then start from our own perspective to improve comprehensive quality and standardize our behavior.At the same time,we should fully implement the dual principle of equestrian sports,promote the horses to develop excellent character and ability by personal behavior and quality,and also improve the horses’ sports ability and excellent quality through planned scientific training,overcome the horses’ sensitivity and fear,and trust each other with athletes,so as to establish a good relationship between human and horses.
