Performing Under Pressure:The Influence of Personality-Trait-Like Individual Differences
No full textPersonality is often considered as a stable construct and, therefore, is not likely to change and can have underlying influences over behavior regardless of the conditions faced. Subsequently, this advocates personality as a valuable predictor of performance in pressurized environments. The current chapter shifts away from broad measures of personality, such as the big five personality dimensions, as these may not account for the unique individual differences that may influence the behavior and experience of pressure. The emphasis for this chapter is an individualized approach that focuses on the many other individual differences situated at the trait level, a term known as personality trait-like individual differences (PTLIDs). The selected group of PTLIDs were chosen for their influence on performance under a range of pressured environments and include traits such as hardiness and trait emotional intelligence. The current chapter provides a theoretical perspective of PTLIDs to further understand individuals' behavior under pressure and to suggest pathways for future research

Higher-order structure of mental toughness and the analysis of latent mean differences between athletes from 34 disciplines and non-athletes
No full textThe aim of this study was to investigate the higher-order structure of mental toughness and to examine differences in mental toughness between athletes and non-athletes. Participants of this study – 927 athletes and 931 non-athletes – completed a battery of questionnaires designed to assess four characteristics of mental toughness: hope, optimism, perseverance and resilience. The higher-order structure of mental toughness was found to be the same for both athletes and non-athletes. The latent mean differences analyses showed that athletes scored higher in mental toughness when compared to non-athletes. Taken together, these findings support the theoretical assumption that mental toughness is a higher-order construct encompassing different characteristics and that sport participation is associated with higher mental toughness.35301,3131,951Q1Q2SSC

Construct and concurrent validity of the short- and long-form versions of the trait emotional intelligence questionnaire
No full textThis study tested the concurrent validity of the short-form version of the trait emotional intelligence questionnaire (TEIQue-SF) against the long-form version (TEIQue-LF), and the construct validity of each questionnaire. In total, 1889 Spanish adults (935 women, 954 men; mean age = 21.56 years, age range = 18-37 years) completed the TEIQue-SF and TEIQue-LF, the order of which was counterbalanced across participants. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the 4-factor structure of both the short-form and long-form versions, with marginally stronger factor loadings observed for the long-form. Bivariate correlations demonstrated a high degree of similarity in scoring on the TEIQue-SF and TEIQue-LF for each subscales and the global trait emotional intelligence (EI): well-being (r = 0.76), self-control (r = 0.69), emotionality (r = 0.78), sociability (r = 0.71), and global trait EI (r = 0.83). Overall, findings indicate that the TEIQue-SF is a viable alternative to the TEIQue-LF for research in time-restricted conditions where the completion of long questionnaires might be unfeasible.2352321,0792,005Q1Q2SSC
Heart rate variability in sport psychology: applications of the vagal tank theory.:An applied workshop.
No full textHeart rate variability (HRV) has recently gained a lot of attention in sport psychology. The reason for this is that it allows for non-invasive and cost-effective measurement of the activity within the parasympathetic nervous system regulating cardiac functioning, cardiac vagal activity. Based on a recent theoretical development with the vagal tank theory (Laborde, Mosley, & Mertgen, 2018b), this workshop will introduce how cardiac vagal activity can be used as an indicator for health, stress management, emotion regulation, and executive function, considering the 3Rs of cardiac vagal activity functioning: resting, reactivity, and recovery. Further, practical methodological recommendations will be presented (Laborde, Mosley, & Thayer, 2017), in order to get the most of HRV measurements in sports settings, taking into account the many factors that can influence HRV (Laborde, Mosley, & Mertgen, 2018a). Learning objectives: Participants will get first-hand experience of learning how to measure HRV with smartphone apps and ECG devices in different situations such as morning measurements, night measurements, preperformance routines, physical activity, post-training or post-competition recovery, psychosocial stress and relaxation methods. Further, they will also discover how to analyze and interpret the HRV data in Kubios software . All participants will be provided with the slides of the presentation, and those who volunteer to have their HRV measured will be provided with their HRV files at the end of the presentation

Positive personality-trait-like individual differences in athletes from individual- and team sports and in non-athletes
No full textThe aim of this study was twofold: first, to replicate the positive association between sport participation and positive personality-trait-like individual differences (PTLID), and second to investigate whether athletes from individual and team sports would differ regarding positive PTLID. Participants of this study – 600 non-athletes and 600 athletes (280 practicing individual sports, 320 team sports) – completed a battery of questionnaires designed to assess five characteristics grouped under the umbrella term of positive PTLID, including: perseverance, positivity, resilience, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. A first MANOVA revealed that athletes scored systematically higher than non-athletes on positive PTLID. A second MANOVA showed that athletes from individual sports scored higher on positive PTLID than athletes from team sports. This could be explained by the individual responsibility that comes from performing alone and the need to possess greater enduring personal dispositions to succeed
