Book Synopsis "Thinking for Success" by : Kelly K. Schilder
Download or read book "Thinking for Success" written by Kelly K. Schilder and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescent girls have been shown to be at increased risk for experiencing depression (Atwater, 1996), emotional distress (Covey & Feltz, 1991), low self-esteem (Bush & Simmons, 1987), and dissatisfied body image (Covey & Feltz, 1991). Female athletes are more likely to attribute successful outcomes to factors independent of themselves (e.g., luck rather than skill) (Hendy & Boyer, 1993). Such cognitive distortions provide an unrealistic framework from which girls evaluate themselves and situations in which they are involved. "Thinking for Success" is an intervention designed to provide adolescent girls with active strategies to overcome self-defeating cognitions. The intervention was conducted with a sample of 32 female-adolescent athletes on a high-school cross-country team. Results suggested that the intervention improved participants' levels of self-efficacy for improving their body image, coping with daily life stress, managing cross-country and physical-fitness abilities, and implementing workshop skills. There was a suggestive, but non-significant, trend for lowered trait anxiety. Number of thought logs completed and level of efficacy for practicing workshop skills significantly predicted this decline in trait anxiety. Contrary to expectations, athletic performance was not affected by intervention participation. Power analyses indicated that the current sample size was sufficient to detect medium and large effects, though a larger sample size would have been needed to detect small effects.

Book Synopsis Self-talk in Sport by : Alexander T. Latinjak
Download or read book Self-talk in Sport written by Alexander T. Latinjak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athletes are naturally exposed to significant psychological challenges in sports, but do not wait helplessly for the assistance of sports psychologists or trainers. Instead, they practise one form or another of self-regulation. Self-talk in Sport explores one such self-regulatory strategy: self-talk, the inner voice that accompanies every human being throughout their lives. Over time, research has revealed many secrets of self-talk in sport, though many others remain unveiled. This book offers you the opportunity to discover the multiple identities of our self-talk, how the “inner coach” serves as a rational counterpart to the irrational self, and what we need to do to develop our inner voice to reach its maximum self-regulatory potential. There is a general need for concrete interventions in sport, exercise, and performance psychology. In addition, the autonomous functioning of people is a central aim of psychological interventions that align with positive psychology and focus on people’s strengths rather than weaknesses. In this volume, researchers and applied practitioners are shown how they can use self-talk interventions to strengthen people’s rational self-regulation in order to deal with a variety of situations that apply to both sport and other exercise and performance contexts. Since self-talk is a tangible result of cognitive processes and inner experiences that researchers and applied practitioners can barely access, Self-talk in Sport is a tool for sports psychologists to understand and interact with hidden parts within athletes that have a major impact on sport and exercise experiences and performance. A book demonstrating the diverse – both rational and irrational identities – of self-talk, as well as specific interventions to change the inner dialogue of athletes, is a fundamental piece in the education of sport scientists.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The main purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral stress management intervention designed to help collegiate student-athletes understand and utilize various techniques to manage stress better and regulate arousal to achieve optimal performance. The final sample consisted of 30 participants divided into a treatment and a wait-list control group. The treatment group met for one hour per week for a five-week intervention, where they learned how to use skills such as relaxation, imagery, and self-talk. Both treatment and wait-list control group members completed measures of competitive sport anxiety, trait anxiety, life stress, coping skills, and positive and negative affect at pre, post, and follow-up testing. Competitive anxiety was measured using the Sport Competition Anxiety Test. Other measures included the Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Life Events Survey for Collegiate Athletes, the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory, and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. MANCOVAs using life stress as the covariate were conducted for competitive anxiety, trait anxiety, coping skills, and positive and negative affect to explore differences between the groups for the entire sample across test times. The results indicated that the treatment and control groups differed significantly as expected on both competitive anxiety and negative affect at follow-up testing. The differences between groups for the remaining variables were non-significant. The implications for these results are discussed, as are suggestions for future research in this area.

It is not only about building body muscles but it also helps in mental and physical health in terms of freshness. When we talk about mental health it is equally important as physical health. But when we look in the Indian context, mental and physical health issues were found in history. Indian culture believing in superstitions then mental problems as illness. However, during the period of freedom struggle mental health and psychology discipline emerged in India in 1933. After that people started talking about mental problems as a disease. Another side of sports is historically involved in Indian culture. After that sport psychology has combined both streams (physical and mental) for an individual's level of psychological well-being. In this study, a researcher was focus on mental health and sport. Mental health is about "A state of wellbeing in which every individual realizes his or her potential, can cope with normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and can make a contribution to her or his community (World Health Organization, 2014)." When we talk about sports and health psychology, they are concerned about human behaviour in sports and exercise. Sports psychology consultants work with mental and emotional factors that can influence sports performance. For example, they may help athletes to control anxiety during a performance or teach athletes visualization skills to enhance their performance. Sports and health psychology consultants use mental training skills to help athletes develop greater mental toughness. It is an important area of study because psychology plays a great role in sports. To become a good sportsperson, one should have good physical, mental, spiritual, and good emotional health. Personality, attitudes, anxiety, aggression, and stress play important role in sports psychology. Besides, that social influences, motivation, and skills also play important role in becoming a good sportsperson. In this study, a researcher has focused on the stress, self-efficacy, personality, psychological hardiness of the sportspersons in reference to gender, type of game in different two district i.e., Ahmedabad and Surat. The data collection was conducted during January to October- 2019 for this study,
