Italy was one of the most impacted countries by COVID-19 crisis, with detrimental effects on world sports. In this exploratory study, we examined Italian athletes' perceived stress and functional/dysfunctional psychobiosocial states during comparing current assessment scores data collected prior to pandemic. Differences gender, sport (i.e., individual vs team sport), competitive level (elite/expert novice athletes) were also examined. The scale administered 1132 athletes about month after...
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted on the sporting field, with athletes constrained in home isolation without possibility to train and compete their usual environments. This situation has been investigated within theoretical frameworks of athletic identity cognitive emotion regulation.The objectives our investigation were to: (a) validate measurement scale (AIMS) for use Italian language; (b) explore differences by gender, typology sport (individual vs. team), competitive level (elite non-elite)...
The recent global outspread of the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced lives people across multiple countries including athletes, coaches, and supporting staff. Along with everybody else, coaches found themselves constrained to an at-home self-isolation, which limited their ability normally engage profession interact athletes. This situation may also have impacted own psychological well-being. With this study, we explored coaches’ perceptions stress in relation emotion regulation strategies...
This study investigates the assessment of motor imagery (MI) ability in humans. Commonly, MI is measured through two methodologies: a self-administered questionnaire (MIQ-3) and mental chronometry (MC), which measures temporal discrepancy between actual imagined tasks. However, both rely on subjects' self-assessment do not use physiological measures. In this study, we propose novel set features extracted from nonlinear dynamics eye gaze signal to discriminate good bad imagers. To aim,...
Emotion classification using electroencephalographic (EEG) data is a challenging task in the field of Artificial Intelligence. While many researchers have focused on finding best model or feature extraction technique to achieve optimal results, few attempted select methodological steps for working with dataset. In this study, we applied two different theoretical approaches based noise dataset: curriculum learning and confident learning. Curriculum involves presenting training examples...
The frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) is a neurophysiological measure of motivation and preference. Despite the FAA associated to commercial pleasantness, conflicting evidence emerged in literature regarding its relationship with behavior. To study association between consumers' decision, we manipulated script elicit diverse attitudes decisions evaluate whether score their final investment. A little informative (S1) was used polarize investments toward unfavorable scores, while more personalized...
Since the end of 2019 and throughout 2020, world has been devastated by COVID-19 pandemic. The sports suddenly had to deal with a massive reorganization events important implications for physical psychological preparation athletes coaches. purpose this study was explore how these changes impacted coaches’ athletes’ goal-setting strategies their experience goal adjustment. As part wider mixed-method project involving 2162 coaches 1354 athletes, an online qualitative survey used, data...
Internal mobility often depends on predicting future job satisfaction, for such employees subject to internal programs. In this study, we compared the predictive power of different classes models, i.e., (i) traditional Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), with two families Machine Learning algorithms: (ii) regressors, specifically least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) feature (iii) classifiers, Bagging meta-model k -nearest neighbors algorithm ( -NN) as a base estimator. Our...
Purpose: A positive association between resting state vagal tone and performance of a few cognitive functions has been proposed. Aim this study was to investigate the possible motor imagery (MI), as MI is based on high-level processes such attention, working memory inhibitory control. Methods: The experiment consisted execution sequence same action in kinesthetic internal visual modality. Participants with high (High, N=15) low (Low, N=16) at rest, were characterized for executive abilities...

A distinctive aspect of human intelligence lies in its capacity to optimize decision-making interactive settings based on the potential actions others, a phenomenon known as strategic sophistication. This ability is pivotal interactions, where predicting others' actions, anticipating their beliefs about our possible and making decisions such are essential. competence holds particular relevance negotiation, achieving compromise between demand offer necessitates thorough understanding...

Abstract Previous research that aimed at characterizing the importance of workers’ personological traits in coping with stress organizational settings is often biased by potential inconsistency (i.e., dissonance) between subjective perception and objective experience workload. This study explored relationship subjective, self-reported physiological measures cognitive load, possible confounding role personality on a representative population (call center operators) ecological (daily working...
