AbstractMost academics agree that emotions and moods are related but distinct phenomena. The present study assessed emotion-mood distinctions among a non-academic population compared these views with proposed in the literature. Content analysis of responses from 106 participants identified 16 themes, cause (65% respondents), duration (40%), control (25%), experience (15%), consequences (14%) most frequently cited distinctions. Among 65 contributions to academic literature, eight themes were...
The aim of this study was to develop and validate a shortened version the Profile Mood States suitable for use with adolescents.The States-Adolescents (POMS-A) administered 1693 participants from two populations: school children young athletes. Confirmatory factor analysis supported factorial validity 24-item six-factor model using both independent multi-sample analyses. Correlations POMS-A scores previously validated inventories, which were consistent theoretical predictions, provided...

Abstract The present study comprised two meta-analyses of published studies that used the Profile Mood States (POMS) to investigate relationships between mood and athletic achievement (n = 13) performance outcome 16). Results showed effect sizes (ESs) for level metaanalysis were minimal (Weighted Mean ES .10, SD .07), a finding consistent with previous meta-analysis by Rowley, Landers, Kyllo, Etnier (1995). Larger effects found .31, .12). Effects moderate vigor, confusion, depression, small...
Abstract The present paper provides a conceptual basis for the examination of mood in sport. nature construct is discussed with reference to related constructs. A model presented which proposes that certain dimensions interact influence behavior. Depression proposed be most important dimension, influencing intensity responses, interrelationships among other dimensions, and moderating performance relationships anger tension. It hoped will help guide applied interventions act as catalyst...

Exploratory cluster analyses applied Sample 1 confirmatory analysis 2 identified two clusters participants. first...
Equivocal results of the psychophysical effects music have been explained in part by insensitivity researchers to important personal and situational variables when selecting music. The aim present study was operationalize a conceptual framework for prediction responses into rating inventory assess motivational qualities exercise sport environments.

In the present study, a measure to assess motivational qualities of music in exercise was redesigned, extending previous research efforts (Karageorghis et al., 1999). The original measure, Brunel Music Rating Inventory (BMRI), had shown limitations its factor structure and applicability non-experts selection. Redesign BMRI used in-depth interviews with eight participants (mean age 31.9 years, s = 8.9 years) establish initial item pool, which examined using series confirmatory analyses. A...

Abstract Background COVID-19 lockdowns have reduced opportunities for physical activity (PA) and encouraged more sedentary lifestyles. A concomitant of sedentariness is compromised mental health. We investigated the effects lockdown on PA, behavior, health across four Western nations (USA, UK, France, Australia). Methods An online survey was administered in second quarter 2020 ( N = 2541). measured planned unplanned dimensions PA using Brunel Lifestyle Physical Activity Questionnaire 12-item...
To establish injury rates among a population of elite athletes, to provide normative data for psychological variables hypothesised be predictive sport injuries, and relations between measures mood, perceived life stress, characteristics as precursor introducing intervention ameliorate the problem.As part annual screening procedures, athletes at Queensland Academy Sport report medical status. Data from 845 screenings (433 female 412 male athletes) were reviewed. Population specific tables...
In this paper, we propose a framework for the design of massive open online courses (MOOCs) based upon principles self-determination theory, which posits relationship between intrinsic motivation and basic psychological need autonomy, competence, relatedness. We also report results design-based research that evaluates application to MOOC titled “Elite Sport Performance: Psychological Perspectives”. Satisfying needs is theorised as central course in order foster motivation, optimise...
Researchers have suggested that music can be carefully selected to match the requirements of activities and characteristics both individuals groups, in order produce significant impacts on performance enhancement (Priest, Karageorghis, & Sharp, 2004). Although there is also evidence affect imagery (e.g., Grocke Wigram, 2007), research examining impact still limited. Thus, effect relaxing arousing during dart-throwing performance, physiological arousal indices, competitive state anxiety, were...
Abstract The Profile of Mood States (POMS) has been used extensively for the assessment mood in sport and exercise environments. purpose present study was to develop tables normative values based on athletic samples. Participants (N = 2, 086), comprising athletes at international (n 622), club 628), recreational 836) levels, completed POMS one three situations: Pre-competition/exercise, post-competition/exercise, away from environment. Differences between sample existing norms were found all...
