Factorial validity and measurement invariance of the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ)
Psychol Sport Exerc. 2024 Apr 5:102638. doi: 10.1016/j.psychsport.2024.102638. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) is the gold standard measure for burnout in athletes. However, previous assessments of factorial validity have: (a) tested overly restrictive measurement models; (b) provided mixed support for factorial validity; and (c) not been applied to assess measurement invariance across gender, sport type, or age. To address these issues, we used ABQ data provided by 914 athletes (Mage = 21.75 years, SD = 8.79) and examined factorial validity using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and...

Climbing anxiety scale (CAS-20): Preliminary development and validation
Psychol Sport Exerc. 2024 Apr 2:102635. doi: 10.1016/j.psychsport.2024.102635. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnxiety has been the primary focus of emotion research in sport psychology. Most of the existing anxiety measures focus on the competition related anxiety. Little is known about the way in which anxiety affects athletic outcomes in extreme sports. We contribute to the literature on anxiety in extreme sports by: (1) developing and providing a preliminary validation for a novel, theoretically anchored sport climbing inventory, Climbing Anxiety Scale (CAS-20), among an international sample of rock-climbers (N = 153); a...

Beyond stereotypes: The role of exposure in reshaping Children's biases towards women as coaches in sports
Psychol Sport Exerc. 2024 Mar 28:102634. doi: 10.1016/j.psychsport.2024.102634. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe underrepresentation of women in sports coaching, linked to discrimination and bias may, according to contact theory, be mitigated by increasing the visibility of women coaches, especially among children. Our study examined whether young athletes exposed to women coaches affected their explicit and implicit biases compared to unexposed peers. Seventy-five children aged between 4 and 17 years were evaluated using two explicit attitude measures and an Implicit Association Task. Results indicated that participants ...

Mental health in athletes: Does authentic leadership matter?
In this study, we investigated: (a) whether authentic leadership is associated with athletes' mental health directly and indirectly via psychological capital and prosocial and antisocial behaviour experienced from one's teammates; and (b) whether the hypothesized model testing these relationships is the same in higher versus lower competitive level athletes. We examined two dimensions of mental health, namely positive mental health and mental illness. A total of 751 athletes (Mage = 22.92, SD = 8.53; 294 female) from a range of sports completed a multi-section questionnaire administered via an online survey. Path analysis ...

Warm-up plus verbal communications administered as placebo procedure during the training session improves running performance

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects on running performance of a within-session placebo procedure consisting of a conditioning treatment plus verbal communications. Twenty-six subjects were assigned to PLACEBO and CONTROL groups. Participants performed three sessions: Session 1-Cooper Test, Session 2-Baseline session and Session 3-Experimental session. During Session 2, participants performed a sprint-interval-training (SIT)-until-exhaustion preceded by a general warm-up, while in Session3 the SIT w...
