A Multisample Analysis of Psychometric Properties for the Malaysian Adapted Sport Anxiety Scale-2 Among Youth Athletes
This study examined psychometric properties of a Malaysian-language Sport Anxiety Scale-2 (SAS-2) in three separate studies. Study 1 examined the criterion validity and internal consistency of SAS-2 among 119 developmental hockey players. Measures of trait anxiety and mood states along with digit vigilance, choice reaction time, and depth perception tests were administered. Regression analysis revealed that somatic anxiety and concentration disru…
Outsourcing Physical Education in primary schools
In place of generalist delivery, externally provided physical activity programmes (EPPAPs) are potentially an effective method for offering primary school students specialist physical education (PE) instruction, as well as providing training for generalist classroom teachers. In the present study, a group of generalist teachers were interviewed regarding the professional benefits of their class's involvement in a 6-month EPPAP. Semi-structured in…
Relationship commitment in athletic dyads
Relational efficacy beliefs and relationship quality within coach-athlete dyads
The primary purpose of this study was to examine the role of efficacy beliefs in predicting perceptions of relationship quality (i.e., closeness, commitment, and complementarity) within coach-athlete dyads. Data from 63 youth athletes and their coaches were analyzed using actor-partner interdependence models and revealed actor effects for self-efficacy on complementarity (for both dyad members) and closeness (for coaches only). A number of actor …
Sesami study of employment support for people with severe mental health problems
In the context of UK policy to promote employment for people with disability as a means to greater social inclusion, this study investigated how people with severe mental health problems fare in existing supported employment agencies. The aim of the study was to identify factors associated with successful placement in work and to test the impact of working on psychological well-being in this group. One hundred and fifty-five users of six English …
Mental health service users’ experiences of returning to paid employment
Research into mental health and employment has focused largely on people who are unemployed. This paper reports the experiences of 20 clients of employment support agencies who had succeeded in returning to work. A number of barriers to getting back to work were identified, but receiving employment support could enable people to overcome them. There was consistency with previous studies of factors associated with high and low levels of job satisf…
Effects of exercise on subjective aspects of sleep during tobacco withdrawal
Exercise training was examined as a potential moderator of self-reported sleep disturbance during the first 5 weeks of tobacco withdrawal. Three sleep variables were assessed before and after a quit attempt by female smokers who exercised for 80 min per week at moderate intensity over an 11-week period. Comparisons were made to a matched control group of nonexercising women who also quit smoking. Results indicated that perceived difficulty in fal…
Recovering from Illness or Recovering your Life? Implications of Clinical Versus Social Models of Recovery from Mental Health Problems for Employment Support Services
Although valuable research has been undertaken in the United States little is yet known about the processes engaged in by supported employment projects for people with mental health problems. The study reported here explored these processes using semistructured interviews with employment project clients, their project workers and workplace managers. Of five projects involved in the research, two exemplified radically different approaches, one imp…
The causes of career termination from sport and their relationship to post-retirement adjustment among elite-amateur athletes in Australia
Former athletes (N = 48) from a variety of sports provided information about the primary reason for their athletic retirement and the degree of adjustment required. Content analysis of reasons for retirement indicated that this sample of athletes retired from competitive sport for numerous reasons, including age, injury, deselection, and voluntary career termination. Subsequent comparisons between athletes who retired for voluntary and involuntar…
Drugs, Sex, and Crime in Sport
An investigation was conducted into the impact of controversial publicity on perceptions of well-known sport performers. Undergraduate students (N = 106) rated six high-profile sport stars on 11 dependent variables assessing attitudes and ascribed personality characteristics. Three types of publicity were assessed: steroid use, criminal activity, and sexual stigma. Initial analyses revealed significant multivariate effects for gender, type of pub…
The effect of skill level and sport outcomes on dimensional aspects of causal attributions
Competitive squash players stated why they had won or lost a match, and evaluated this causal attribution along several dimensions. Dimensional ratings were then analysed according to outcome (win/loss) and the skill level (competition grade) of the performer. Results indicated that the attributions of winners were more stable and global than those of losers. In addition, ability level interacted with outcome to influence the internality of causa…
Tall poppies in sport
Attitudes towards high-profile sport performers as well as their perceived personality characteristics were examined. Some of these performers (Group A) had received publicity for being gay, being HIV positive, or using steroids, while others (Group B) had not been portrayed in this way. Results indicated that attitudes towards the athletes in Group A were more negative than attitudes towards the athletes in Group B. Differences were also obtaine…
Multidimensional self-concept, cigarette smoking, and intentions to smoke in adolescents
Adolescent students (N = 560) in grades 7–11 provided information on smoking habits, smoking intentions, and 11 self-concept dimensions, as measured by the Self Description Questionnaire II. Stepwise discriminant function analysis was only moderately successful in predicting smoking status and intentions to smoke in the future. Significant sex differences were found on 7 of the 11 self-concept dimensions. Separate discriminant function analyses f…
