Using cluster analytical procedure, this study aimed (i) to determine whether people could be differentiated on the basis of coping profiles (or unique combinations strategies); and (ii) examine relationships between these perceived stress health-related behaviors. A sample 578 French students (345 females, 233 males; M(age)= 21.78, SD(age)= 2.21) completed Perceived Stress Scale-14 ( Bruchon-Schweitzer, 2002), Brief COPE Muller Spitz, 2003) a series items measuring two-phased analytic...

This study aimed to determine whether the various factors of coping as measured by Brief COPE could be integrated into a more parsimonious hierarchical structure. To identify higher structure for COPE, several measurement models based on prior theoretical and conceptions were tested. First, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) results revealed that COPE's 14 original represented parsimoniously with 5 order dimensions: problem-solving, support-seeking, avoidance, cognitive restructuring,...

The public health policies and sanitary measures taken by governments in various countries to stem the spread of COVID-19 pandemic (e.g. lockdown, social distancing) have major implications for athletes. radical changes are challenging risk causing significant career disruption athletes, with subsequent negative psychological effects. Thus, ways athletes cope such adversity is critical importance. present study aimed identify athletes' coping profiles using a person-centred approach, based...

Relatively little is known about the contribution of students' beliefs regarding nature academic ability (i.e. their implicit theories) on strategies used to deal with examinations.This study applied Dweck's socio-cognitive model achievement motivation better understand how students cope examinations. It was expected that theories would be related use particular coping exam-related stress. Additionally, it predicted perceived control over exams acts as a mediator between and coping.Four...

Understanding more about the stress process is important for performance of athletes during stressful situations. Grounded in Lazarus's (1991, 1999, 2000) CMRT emotion, this study tracked longitudinally relationships between cognitive appraisal, coping, emotions, and nine elite fencers across 14 international matches (representing 619 momentary assessments) using a naturalistic, video-assisted methodology. A series hierarchical linear modeling analyses were conducted to: (a) explore...

On the road to success, team members combine efforts cope with stressful situations they face together. This case study explores communal coping in a professional ice hockey during COVID-19 crisis, involving 20 male players ( M age = 28.5). Using template thematic analysis of semistructured interviews, three shared stressors were identified: suspension competitions, uncertainty about logistics and career stability, loss social opportunities. These affected psychological well-being,...

The evaluation of the effects sport psychology interventions on performance and related outcomes is a central issue in evidence-based practice. Although there an extensive literature domain psychology, recent meta-analyses have only identified few interventional studies that test different psychological (Brown Fletcher, 2017;Lochbaum et al., 2022). While Brown Fletcher (2017) 35 randomized controlled trials, Lochbaum al. (2022) reviewed 13 examining various types performance. positive been...

This study aimed to revisit the complex nature of serial dependency performance during a match, examining prospective associations between psychological processes and subsequent at within-person level analysis, explore whether are associated with likelihood winning series points. A process-oriented sequential approach was used 16 elite fencers simulated competition. Multilevel regression analyses revealed that fluctuates within match. Results Bayesian multilevel structural equation model...

This study examined the trajectories and within-person synergies of psychological processes during final stages matches. A process-oriented approach was used with nine women elite fencers an international competition. Multiple assessments perceived control, threat challenge appraisals, problem- emotion-focused coping, positive negative affects were completed after each touches using video recall method. Multilevel growth curve analyses (MGCAs) indicated that winning losing matches...

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 athletes (seven...

The present research aimed to provide a more holistic analysis of stressful experiences in sport by examining how stress appraisal, coping and emotion are dynamically inter-related constructs the extent which their dynamic relationship is associated with objective performance. Based on process-oriented methods, two studies were conducted elite athletes order investigate between these performance highly demanding situations (Study 1: simulated competitive fencing matches during training...

The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) identify attentional foci (AF) and coping strategies used by young fencers during matches (b) explore the links between these variables using a grounded-theory approach. Using naturalistic qualitative video-assisted approach, analyses revealed emergence five categories AF (movements techniques, tactics, situation evaluation, states, extraneous attention) six (mastery coping, internal regulation, goal-withdrawal strategies, behavioral no automatic...

Recently, Elliot and Murayama (2008 ) pointed out a number of theoretical methodological shortcomings among the instruments assumed to measure achievement goals. This research aimed develop validate French Achievement Goals Questionnaire for Sport Exercise (FAGQSE). In first study, factor analyses conducted on 20-item preliminary version supported existence four factors corresponding types goals McGregor’s (2001 framework (mastery-approach, performance-approach, mastery-avoidance,...

Coping strategies, motivation goals were assessed among 199 undergraduate students. Regression analysis revealed that problem-focused is positively predicted by identified regulation negatively amotivation, whereas emotion-focused introjected amotivation. Mastery approach contributed to coping. Identified mastery made a...
