Self-objectification and social physique anxiety (SPA) were investigated in relation to exercise behaviors. A theoretical model was developed that viewed SPA as a mediating variable between self-objectification and protective/ permissive...
An experiment was conducted to investigate the cognitions and emotions athletes experience in pressure situations. Athlete participants were asked to read either a low self-presentation script, which de-emphasized self-presentation...
The present study examined the concept of intra-team communication, which engages two or more individuals in a message exchange. In this process the sender transmits ideas, knowledge, and thoughts to the receiving party, either a...
The present study examined aspects of Reversal Theory; more specifically meta-motivational dominance in combination with sensation seeking on motor tasks in pressure-filled and non-pressure conditions. Meta-motivational dominance refers...
The purposes of this study were to examine the links between self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) and the dualistic model of passion (Vallerand, 2008) and to examine the coping strategies used by triathletes differentiated by...
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between self-presentational concerns and health-damaging behaviors in sport competition as related to the sport ethic outlined by Hughes and Coakley (1991). Male (n =...
Previous research has revealed that team experience was strongly associated with a greater portion of SK (MacMillan, Entin, & Serfaty, 2004) and a highly developed shared mental model enhanced team performance (Mathieu, Goodwin, Heffner, ...
IIn recent years, much research effort was devoted to delineate the effects of attentional strategies on exercise-related perceptions and adherence (Basevitch et al., 2011; Connolly & Tenenbaum, 2010; Razon et al., ...
Previous research revealed that team communication via message exchange effects team performance outcomes (Fiore et al., 2001). Additional studies confirmed that the amount of communication might distinguish between superior and inferior...
It is well known that chronic resistance exercise training (RET) generates increases in muscular strength and that a variety of factors influence these gains, including neurological adaptations. Neurological adaptations to RET are a...
Concerns about self-presentation affect many athletes. Oftentimes, athletes who struggle to control the way they present themselves develop Social Physique Anxiety. Ample research has been completed providing evidence of negative...
The purpose of the current study was to explore the relationship between different types of social support and negative career thoughts. The study obtained data on 118 NCAA Division I student athletes from a large public university in...
Extensive research has provided much evidence for an attention-based model of time estimation (Zakay, 1992; Zakay, 1993a; Zakay 1993b; Zakay, 1998; Zakay, Nitzan, & Glicksohn, 1983; Zakay & Tsal, 1989); however, limited research on time...
Shared mental models (SMM) are defined as "knowledge structure(s) held by each member of a team that enables them to form accurate explanations and expectations for the [team and task], and in turn, to coordinate their actions and adapt...
Stretching has long been a component of the endurance athlete's warm-up routine. However, it has been shown that stretching can lead to decreased muscle stiffness and can be associated with decreased performance in force and power...
The purpose of this investigation is to explore the relationship between flow state, dissociation, and self-presentation in runners. It was hypothesized that dissociation would be negatively related to flow dimensions of total...
The Effect of Case Studies on Individual Learning Outcomes, Attitudes Toward Instruction, and Team Shared Mental Models in a Team-Based Learning Environment in an Undergraduate Educational Psychology Course
Teams are valued and have been used in different sectors in the business setting because they are powerful in solving complex problems, and in promoting organizational effectiveness and goal achievement (Guzzo & Dickson, 1996). In the...
Athletes are constantly being judged by themselves and others. Therefore, it is of interest to study how athletes view their public identity, and what behaviors athletes use to manage these public identities (Prapavessis, Grove, & Eklund...
The experimental design utilized in this study tested the decision-making and reported cue utilization among poker players. Forty-five participants, 15 in each group, comprised expert, intermediate, and novice poker players. Subjects...
Emotion constitutes a fundamental dimension of human lives, determining the quality of life experiences, and organizing and guiding perceptions, thoughts and actions. Emotion is thought to interact with cognition to influence behavior in...
Binder (1999) suggested that interactive, multimedia-training activities could be used to fill the gap between coursework and supervised practicum experiences. Consistent with this idea, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate a...
In recent years, a considerable amount of research has been conducted to delineate the effects of attentional focus on task performance (e.g., Wulf, 2007a). From this research, external focus has been shown to be beneficial to both motor...
Coaches play an important role as the leader of teams and athletes. This role can lead coaches to developing strong coach identities. The hypotheses for this study were: (1) male coaches would present stronger coach identities than...
A study was conducted to test the role mental representations play in executing a motor skill under different visual conditions that vary in complexity and vividness. High-skill (n = 20) and low-skill (n = 20) soccer players performed a...
The purpose of this study was to provide a new framework of team leadership in sport. More specifically, the aim was to examine a functional leadership paradigm in sport where full range of leadership behaviors by the coach and by the...
Wegner's (1994) Ironic Processing Theory is proposed to account for the intentional and counter-intentional effects that result from efforts at mental control. It is predicted that when people try to implement their intentions under...
Recent literature on "choking under pressure" has focused on how pressure situations alter the deployment of cognitive resources – either by drawing attention towards execution, or by drawing attention away. Based on this insight, ...
The purpose of this thesis was to examine the self-fulfilling prophecy relative to the possible effects that an expectancy placed on a player by a coach can have on that athlete's motivation to continue practicing their sport. Male and...
