Sensation seeking, stress, and adolescent injuries
The potential stress-buffering effects of sensation seeking were assessed in a prospective study involving high school athletes. A significant positive relation between major negative sport-specific life events and subsequent injury time-loss occurred only for athletes low in sensation seeking. No evidence was obtained for a competing hypothesis that high sensation seeking would constitute an injury vulnerability factor by increasing risk-taking …
Conjunctive moderator variables in vulnerability and resiliency research
In life event research relating to vulnerability and resilience factors, single moderator variables have typically been the focus of study. Little is known about the ways in which moderator variables may interact with one another to increase vulnerability or resilience. We propose a distinction between conjunctive moderation, in which multiple moderators must co-occur in a specific combination or pattern to maximize a relation between a predictor…
Self-esteem and children's reactions to youth sport coaching behaviors
Self-enhancement models posit a general motive to enhance self-regard that is believed to be particularly strong in people with low self-esteem. We extended previous laboratory research with college students to a field setting and studied the attraction responses of child athletes to coaches who differed in their observed behavior patterns during the sport season
Quantifying gender differences in physical performance
The purpose of the study was to quantify the contribution of anthropometric variables (height, percentage body fat, and fat-free body weight) to gender differences in performance on 6 motor tasks during childhood and adolescence
Equivalence of Two Inventories for Assessing Attitudes toward Physical Activity
Two forms of an inventory for assessing attitudes toward physical activity were administered to 220 undergraduate students. Kenyon's inventory was developed for use with adults and high school students, while the Simon and Smoll adaptation of this inventory was designed for elementary school children. A multivariate analysis of variance yielded nonsignificant differences on four of the six attitude dimensions of the multidimensional model for phy…
