Critical Consciousness in Sport Scale (CCSS)
Background Critical consciousness refers to the ability to recognize and analyze the oppressive forces in society and to act against them. Researchers have emphasized that sport has the potential to help athletes develop their critical consciousness regarding the forces that shape society, as well as the systems of privilege and deprivation that influence access to sport. Objective The present study describes the development of the critical consc…
Decision-makers’ interactions that co-determine Positive youth development through sport
The purpose of the present study was to examine Portuguese coaches, coach developers, and sport administrators’ (i.e. decision-makers) interactions that co-determine positive youth development through sport. A critical realist approach was adopted using Elder-Vass’s framework on the causal power of social structures. A total of 47 Portuguese decision-makers from provincial and national sport organisations were interviewed, leading to 2350 minutes…
Impact of Covid-19 Sport Cancelations on the Self-Identity and Psychological Distress of High School Student-Athletes
The stay-at-home measures enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic led to sudden changes in the lives of individuals worldwide. For high school student-athletes, these changes meant transitioning to online schooling, heavily reducing their social activities, and enduring the cancelation of sport activities. Scholars have expressed concerns related to the potential consequences of these changes on adolescents’ self-identity and psychological distress.…
Critical posthumanisms, postqualitative inquiry, and conventional qualitative research
Work conducted in the critical posthumanisms and postqualitative inquiry (i.e., the posts) has expanded in many fields, including psychology. Despite claims that the posts can help inquirers venture beyond the purported limits of conventional qualitative research (i.e., the conventional), the posts are not absolved of questioning. The present paper experiments with cascade questioning to interrogate what is with the intent to instigate what could…
Assemblage Thinking as Attunement to Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Youth Sport Research
Youth sport is often prefaced as an accessible social practice facilitating development and wellbeing, yet social controls and inequalities abound along racial, gender, and sexual divisions. In efforts of transformative theoretical manoeuvring, the purpose of the paper is to deploy assemblage thinking as attunement to race, gender, and sexuality in youth sport research. A rationale for assemblage thinking is provided, followed by explanations of …
A move to rethink life skills as assemblages
Life skills, defined as psychosocial skills enabling individuals to successfully meet life demands, have been popular in youth sport research to frame what we learn through sport. In light of recent critiques of life skills, the purpose of the present paper is to propose a move to rethink life skills as assemblages through a postqualitative inquiry, with the work of Deleuze and Guattari, Delanda, and Buchanan informing how the concept of assembla…
The two continua model for life skills teaching
Life skills refer to a person’s ability to do life well through the successful completion of everyday tasks and a meaningful engagement at school, at work, at home and in the community. However, several scholars have critiqued existing approaches to life skills teaching in sport, often situated as individualistic and focused on economic productivity and integration in predetermined social orders. For the teaching of life skills in sport to instig…
A creative non-fiction story of an athlete’s journey through the life skills application process
To date, the majority of empirical investigations into the life skills transfer process have presented what have often been singular instances of application, thus positioning life skills transfer more as an outcome rather than an ongoing process of learning/refinement. Conceptualising transfer as an outcome overlooks the cognitive and emotional factors that influence athletes in their process of attempting to apply in life the skills they learne…
Teachers’ and students’ perceptions of factors influencing the adoption of information and communications technology in physical education in Singapore schools
Although there have been studies on the use of information and communications technology (ICT) as a pedagogical tool to enhance teaching and learning in physical education (PE), more research is warranted to understand perceived barriers and facilitators to usage. The purpose of the present study was to understand key factors that influence the adoption of ICT in PE perceived by teachers and students in Singapore schools. Eleven PE teachers (two …
Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the Portuguese Coaching Life Skills in Sport Questionnaire
The Coaching Life Skills in Sport Questionnaire (CLSS-Q) is a 5-factor 36-item scale developed in the English language to assess the extent to which coaches are intentional in their approaches to teaching life skills through sport. To allow for usage of the CLSS-Q in Portuguese-speaking countries, the purpose of this study was to investigate the cross-cultural adaptation and the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the CLSS-Q (P-C…
Going beyond the interview
Life skills transfer represents an ongoing process by which an athlete learns/refines a life skill in sport and subsequently applies the same skill beyond sport. Many qualitative investigations on transfer have used the ‘one-shot’ interview design to explore the experiences of athletes, thus offering static snapshots of perceived life skills learning and application. The integration of multiple qualitative methods has been advanced as having the …
Singapore teachers’ attitudes towards the use of information and communication technologies in physical education
The purpose of the present study was to examine and compare Singaporean physical education teachers’ attitudes towards information and communication technologies in physical education across different demographic groups that included gender, age, teaching experience, and school level.

Definition and model of life skills transfer
For a sport skill to be considered a life skill, it must be successfully transferred and applied beyond sport. Life skills transfer is an essential process, but it has yet to be fully delineated within the sport psychology literature. The purpose of the current paper is to present a definition and model of life skills transfer and outline future research needs. A critical review of the literature within sport psychology and other learning-based d…
A grounded theory of positive youth development through sport based on results from a qualitative meta-study
The overall purpose of this study was to create a model of positive youth development (PYD) through sport grounded in the extant qualitative literature. More specifically, the first objective was to review and evaluate qualitative studies of PYD in sport. The second objective was to analyze and synthesize findings from these studies. Following record identification and screening, 63 articles were retained for analysis. Meta-method analysis reveal…
A season-long case study examining alcohol use and misuse in Canadian junior hockey
In Canada, hockey is part of the country’s history, culture and identity, but its practice is also linked with high rates of alcohol consumption. The purpose of the present study was to conduct a season-long case study examining alcohol use and misuse in Canadian junior hockey. Data were collected throughout the 2015–2016 season through extensive observations of a junior-level team as well as semi-structured interviews conducted at three time poi…
University Student-Athletes’ Experiences of Facilitators and Barriers to Contribution
University student-athletes’ contributions in the form of volunteering, community engagement, and civic engagement have been the subject of recent research; however, no studies have specifically examined the factors that facilitate or serve as barriers to contribution in this population. As such, the purpose of this study is to explore the facilitators and barriers relating to university student-athletes’ contributions. Individual semi-structured…
Extracurricular Activity Participation and the Acquisition of Developmental Assets
In order to prepare students for adulthood and responsible citizenship, most high schools offer extracurricular activities designed to facilitate the learning of a wide range of competencies.

Results indicated differe…
Examining Former Athletes' Developmental Experiences in High School Sport
The purpose of this study was to examine former athletes' perspectives on their developmental experiences in high school sport. Retrospective interviews were conducted with 14 former high school athletes (seven females, seven males) between 18 and 28 years of age ( M = 23.0, SD = 2.66). An inductive thematic analysis led to the identification of two main findings. First, it appears that different types of life skill experiences emanated from high…
Helping youth sport coaches integrate psychological skills in their coaching practice
Researchers have demonstrated the benefits of psychological skills training for athletes, but few studies have examined how coaches integrate such skills in their coaching practice. Empirical evidence indicates that the coaches have a preference to learn psychological skills in a user-friendly manner with consultant support. The purpose of the current study is to help youth sport coaches integrate psychological skills (leadership, goal-setting, s…
