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, ...
The purpose of this study was to explore adaptation through the manipulation of perceived task difficulty and self-efficacy to challenge the concepts postulated by the two-perception probabilistic concept of the adaptation phenomenon ...
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...
Trash talk, a behavior mostly seen during athletic competitions, is defined as disparaging, taunting, or boastful comments especially between opponents to intimidate each other. To look at what determinants cause a behavior to be...
The purpose of this study was to develop a conceptual framework for studying a common sport phenomenon called Trash Talk (TT). Previous research findings reveal that alteration of emotional state affects both motivation (Boutcher, 1993;...
Individual Affect-Related Performance Zones (IAPZs) have been commonly estimated using a two-dimensional affect measures (arousal by pleasantness) as predictors of a unidimensional performance measure. Performance measures have been self...
Sports officials experience moderate to low amounts of stress, which can affect the outcome of games, seasons, and officials' careers. Furthermore, officials' report that the criticality of game situation (situation criticality) is one...
This study aimed at examining the dispositional effects of the hot hand and psychological momentum beliefs on mental states such as self-efficacy, perception of control, and cohesion. One hundred and seventy-six male and female...
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...
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, ...
Emotions, cognitive appraisals, and coping processes were investigated during a solo and ensemble performance time line. Seven musicians within the age range of 20 - 34 participated in this study. They completed the Competitive State...
