Hence, tolerance to pain sensitivity and focusing only on the controllable can be effectuated through stoicism. Athletes often take on stoic attitudes while managing their emotions, as the former teaches athletes to maintain their inner tranquillity, which helps them avoid impulsive reactions during competitions and helps them perform. Stoicism helps athletes tolerate the pain threshold as the former aligns well with the sports environment&#39;s demands, which can positively impact the athletes&#39; performance through better self-control, adaptability, etc. In the prior literature, there have been inconsistent studies concerning which gender is stoic or emotionally intelligent; hence, exploring the moderating role of gender will give a nuanced perspective to the findings, and an intervention can be tailored based on the same.<br> <strong>Objectives.</strong> In order to bridge this gap, the present research aims to study gender as a moderator between stoicism and emotional intelligence toward athletic performance.<br> <strong>Methods. </strong>The sample of 453 athletes (Female=118, Male=335) from Delhi-NCR was determined with G*Power 3.1 software. A significant moderation effect was analyzed through the Hayes Process module, further followed by the Johnson-Neyman technique to probe interactions.<br> <strong>Results. </strong>The findings concluded that male athletes who are emotionally intelligent and stoic are likely to perform better than female athletes.<br> <strong>Conclusion.</strong> Hence, future suggestions have given strong evidence for developing intervention plans for the athletes.</div> Emotional Intelligence, Performance, Stoicism, Gender Moderation, Amateur Athletes. 0 0 http://aassjournal.com/browse.php?a_code=A-11-2215-2&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Kashish Pandey pandeykas786@gmail.com 100319475328460014730 100319475328460014730 No Department of Applied Psychology, School of Behavioural and Social Sciences, Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies, Faridabad, India Khusboo K. khushboo.sbss@mriu.edu.in 100319475328460014731 100319475328460014731 Yes Department of Applied Psychology, School of Behavioural and Social Sciences, Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies, Faridabad, India
