The Downward Spiral of Fear of Failure in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Practitioners
As sport and failure are unavoidable and part of the nature of the sport experience, understanding how one navigates failure is an important area of research. Guided by Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA; Smith et al., Citation2009) the purpose of this study was to understand the lived experiences and role of failure in sport from four Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) practitioners. Data collection grounded in Conroy’s (Citation2001a) multidime…
Psychopathy and Self‐Construal: Trait‐Specific Associations With Independent and Interdependent Self‐Construal
Three direct replication studies were conducted to investigate the association between psychopathy and self‐construal. Participants were undergraduate college students who completed two comprehensive measures of psychopathic traits used to represent the four‐factor conceptualization of psychopathy and the triarchic conceptualization of psychopathy. Participants also completed self‐report measures and a task‐based measure of independent, interdepe…

Happy to Help: Welfare Effects of a Nationwide Volunteering Programme
We study the wellbeing returns from volunteering in England's National Health Service (NHS) Volunteer Responders, set up in response to Covid-19. Using linked survey and administrative data, we exploit the oversubscription of volunteers and the random allocation of tasks via an app to establish causality. Volunteers show stronger wellbeing and feelings of belongingness and connectedness to their local area. Welfare analyses suggest that the benef…
The Photo- and Phonosensitivity Avoidance Behavior Scales: Evaluating Clinical Utility in Pediatric Primary Chronic Headache
Background/Objectives : Pediatric primary chronic headache disorders are often associated with sensitivities to light (photosensitivity) and sound (phonosensitivity) that may trigger or worsen headache pain. These sensory sensitivities may result in changes to activity participation or environmental modifications to avoid visual and auditory stimuli. Over time, avoidance behaviors can inadvertently increase functional disability, suggesting the i…
“The Most Important Shot You Will Ever Take”: The Burgeoning Role of Social Media Activism in Challenging Embedded NCAA Patriarchy
While the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) purpose is to protect college athletes within a hypercommercialized institutional setting, the protections prevent college athletes from accessing the lucrative marketplace. Extant literature has conceptualized the operating functions of the NCAA within the context of a patriarchal framework in which college athletes are infantilized, and authoritative institutional control is thereby ju…
Behavior Management in Young Children Exposed to Trauma: A Case Study of Three Evidence-Based Treatments
Aligning with Patients and Families: Exploring Youth and Caregiver Openness to Pediatric Headache Interventions
Primary headache disorders are common yet underestimated in youth, resulting in functional disability, decreased quality of life, and caregiver burden. Despite the ubiquity of options, adherence remains challenging for families. One potential factor impacting willingness to engage in recommended treatments is openness. This study explored openness to multidisciplinary headache interventions and the relationships with demographic, pain-related, an…
Examination of the Prevalence of Female Athlete Triad Components among Competitive Cheerleaders
The purpose of this study was to examine individual and combined Female Athlete Triad components within collegiate cheerleaders, an at-risk group. Cheerleaders ( n = 19; age: 20.3 ± 1.2 years) completed anthropometric measurements, health history questionnaires, resting metabolic rate, the eating disorder inventory-3 and symptom checklist, blood sample, and DXA scan. Participants completed dietary and exercise logs for 7 days and used heart rate …
Investigation of Eating Disorder Risk and Body Image Dissatisfaction among Female Competitive Cheerleaders
Social agents associated with cheerleading environments are increasingly linked to body image dissatisfaction (BID) and eating disorders (ED). This study examined ED risk across team type, squad type, and position. An additional purpose determined BID in clothing type (daily clothing, midriff uniform, and full uniform), and meta-perceptions from the perspective of peers (MP peers), parents (MP parents), and coaches (MP coaches). Female cheerleade…
Development and Feasibility of the Headache-Related Light and Sound Sensitivity Inventories in Youth
Youth with chronic headache disorders often experience sensitivities to light and sound that trigger or exacerbate their headaches and contribute to functional disability. At present, there are no known validated measures for assessing these sensitivities and their impact on functioning in youth with chronic headaches. This pilot study sought to develop and assess the feasibility of measures of headache-related light and sounds sensitivities in y…
Prevalence of Eating Disorder Risk and Body Image Dissatisfaction among Rotc Cadets
Injury risk is multifactorial including non-modifiable and modifiable factors such as nutrition and mental health. The purpose of this study was to estimate eating disorder risk and body image (BI) dissatisfaction among Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) cadets. A total of 102 (male: n = 75, female: n = 27; age: 20 ± 2 years) ROTC cadets self-reported height, current and ideal weight, and completed the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) and se…
From Taped Up to Mic’d Up: Experiences of Former Athletes and the Meaning of Athletic Identity in Sports Media Spaces
When elite-level athletes transition out of their sport, they often experience feelings of loss and questions about their self-worth. It is not uncommon for former athletes to turn to sports media for a new start, and as they do so, they enter a profession that is engaged in its own process of redefining itself as new genres of sports media continue to emerge, a process that has forced legacy outlets to find innovative ways to compete and reimagi…
Parent Attributions of Ambiguous Symptoms in Their Children: A Preliminary Measure Validation in Parents of Children with Chronic Pain
How parents attribute cause to their child’s physical symptoms is likely important in understanding how the parent responds to the child, as well as the child’s health outcomes, especially within the context of chronic illness. Here, we adapt the Symptom Interpretation Questionnaire for parent report (SIQ-PR) and provide preliminary validation in a sample of parents of children with chronic pain ( N = 311). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed t…
Increasing the trickle: A proposed critical multiculturalist conceptual model to increase the pipeline to a more diverse STEM doctorate population
Purpose -For several decades, human and financial resources have been the focus of academic institutions in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics fields of study because of low matriculation and graduation involving diverse student populations. However, there is a paucity of research about pathways to doctoral-level education and completion for these underrepresented populations. The purpose of this paper is to explore conceptually how…

What it Means to be a ‘Lady’”: Defending the “Lady Vols” Nickname and Logo
Scholars have contested the use of Lady in team nicknames since the 1980s, as the practice might suggest otherness and inferiority (Eitzen & Zinn, 1989). This study is set in the context of the 2012 merger of the women’s athletic departments at the University of Tennessee and the 2014 announcement that the university would eliminate the Lady Vols brand for all sports but women’s basketball. The latter decision has been met with resistance and app…
Childhood Emotional Maltreatment and Somatic Complaints: The Mediating Role of Alexithymia
Reaching the Hard to Reach: Lessons Learned from a Statewide Outreach Initiative
Despite high levels of need, many federal assistance programs are underutilized, with differential participation rates among demographic subpopulations. Outreach efforts seek to address challenges facing potentially eligible program recipients. This article examines a statewide initiative to address barriers to participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), focusing on the elderly and people with disabilities, eligible imm…
University Students from Single-Sex and Coeducational High Schools: Differences In Majors and Attitudes at a Catholic University
We conducted an archival study at a coeducational Catholic university to test the proposition that single-sex secondary education predicts lasting differences in college majors. Men from single-sex schools were more likely to both declare and graduate in gender-neutral majors than those from coeducational schools. Women from single-sex schools were more likely to declare gender-neutral majors, but were not different from their coeducated peers at…
Expectant adolescent couples' relations and subsequent parenting behavior
The goal of this study was to test the "spill over" hypothesis-that the quality of relations between expectant couples would predict parenting behavior-among a sample of adolescent mothers and fathers. At Time 1, self-reported and observational relationship data were collected from 36 expectant adolescent couples. At follow-up, observational data were collected from both young mothers and fathers who were asked to participate in a structured play…
Older Peopleís Perceptions of the Neighbourhood: Evidence from Socially Deprived Urban Areas
Neighbourhoods contribute significantly to shaping their residents' identities. For older people, the neighbourhood may be even more important than for younger people. Ageing can be associated with an intensification of feelings about locality and space, and the neighbourhood may contribute significantly to older people's quality of daily life. Within the context of a study that examines the concerns of older people living in areas of England cha…
