Using the Theory of Planned Behavior in Considering the Efficacy of Encountering Concussion Intervention Materials Online
This study employs the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to consider the efficacy of sport-related concussion (SRC) education materials among collegiate club sport athletes. In particular, variations in the targeted behavior (i.e. self-reporting SRC symptoms or other reporting SRC signs in teammates), format (i.e. digital text or video), and the presence of a personal narrative were considered. Data obtained from 443 club sport athletes in contact…
The Role of Closure, Athletic Identity, and Social Support on Student-Athletes’ Mental Health During Their Socialization Out of Sports
One of the most difficult transitions in all of sports occurs when elite athletes conclude their athletic careers—a process known as socialization out of sport (SOS). This study examined survey data from 125 former Division I student-athletes who are in the first year of their SOS, to gain predictive and comparative insight into the importance of closure, athletic identity, and received support on former student-athletes’ life satisfaction and me…
Parent Attitudes Toward Sport Coach Communication and Knowledge
Parents must make decisions to guide children’s sport participation, development, and enjoyment, with particular importance toward communication characteristics of their coach. The current study examines parent attitudes toward youth sport coach communication characteristics, provides a ranking of parents stated desires, and examines how parent desires for youth sport coaches have adapted to changes in the youth sports ecosystem. A representative…
“In the Grip of King Kong”
“They Just See Guys as Bodies”
This study examined interviews with former National Football League (NFL) players to better understand the role that source credibility plays in concussion and injury communication. The NFL has a complex history with concussions and other injuries, yet has made some recent attempts to improve player safety. Researchers interviewed 10 former NFL players about concussion and injury communication that is league-based, team-based, and teammate-based.…
I’m Worried They Will Come Back to Haunt Me”
This qualitative study examines how former National Football League (NFL) players retrospectively make sense of concussion risks post-retirement. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with retired NFL players ( N = 10) who sustained at least one official concussion during their professional career. Guided by sensemaking theory and reflexive thematic analysis, themes were generated to characterize player attitudes toward concussion risks. Them…
Factors That Reduce Parental Concern for Concussion Risks in Youth Tackle Football
This study sought to identify factors that reduce parental concern of concussion risks for children who play youth tackle American football. Interviews were conducted with parents who allowed children between the ages of 10 and 15 years to play on tackle football teams. Factors that reduced parental concern included advances in equipment safety and helmet technology, active parental monitoring and relationship building with coaches, and social co…
Persuasive Appeals Predict Credibility Judgments of Phishing Messages
Two studies examined effects of using persuasive appeals in phishing messages on judgments of credibility. Participants were tasked with reading a combination of legitimate and phishing e-mails to determine whether each message was legitimate or a scam. In both Study 1 and Study 2, when phishing messages included more appeals to authority and likability, phishing susceptibility increased. However, as the number of fear and urgency appeals in the …

Concussions in youth sports are a rising health concern. Between 1.7- and 3-million concussions occur each year in youth sport and recreation settings. This qualitative study investigated how parents assess the physical and social risks of allowing their children to participate in tackle football. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 sets of parents ( N = 24) who had permitted their middle school aged children to play on tackle footb…
We Are a Football Family”
Parents of middle school–aged children face a true dilemma as they consider whether to allow their children to play tackle football. The sport is cited as one that fosters a number of intangible benefits but is increasingly mentioned as dangerous for youth participants. This study employed a sensemaking theory framework to explore the family, community, and media dynamics that influence how parents made sense of their football decisions. We inter…
Blowing the Whistle Off the Field of Play
Unethical behavior within collegiate sports departments appears to be commonplace. Athletic programs at a number of high-profile universities have been sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association in the past decade. When athletic departments participate in corrupt behavior, the possibility of whistle-blowing exists. Although organizational scholars have developed theoretical models describing whistle-blowing processes, it is unclea…
