The effects of various goal-setting techniques on goal attributes.
No full textWhereas industrial and organizational psychologists have extensively researched goal setting, studies of the effects of goal setting in athletics are few and far between. Although a few investigators have studied the effects of goal setting on performance in athletics (e.g. Weinberg, Bruya, Jackson, & Garland, 1987), few studies have been documented from a "real" athletic setting. The present study examines the effect of three methods of goal setting on a number of goal attributes. These goal attributes--commitment, influence, acceptance, clarity, certainty and satisfaction have been identified as being important in goal setting (Brawley, Carron & Widmeyer, 1991). Sixty-seven (67) members of the University of Windsor track and field team were randomly placed into three conditions--assigned, participative and self-set. The coaches involved in the study were trained and provided scripts for each experimental condition. This was necessary to ensure that coaches were consistent in creating each experimental condition. The athletes in the assigned condition were assigned goals by their respective coach, athletes in the participative condition were involved in participative goal setting between coach and athlete and those in the self-set condition set their own goals. The goal setting process in all three conditions involved establishing practice goals, seasonal goals (exact times, heights or distances for the 1993 indoor season), competition goals (rankings, medals, place finish at competitions) and long-term goals. The athletes' perceptions of the participativeness of the three conditions showed that they were significantly different from each other. Results showed few differences between the conditions on the goal attributes, suggesting that all three goal-setting methods are equally effective. The study raises issues for coaching and interventions in the area of goal setting.Dept. of Kinesiology.

Dynamics of extracellular matrix in ovarian follicles and corpora lutea of mice
No full textDespite the mouse being an important laboratory species, little is known about changes in its extracellular matrix (ECM) during follicle and corpora lutea formation and regression. Follicle development was induced in mice (29 days of age/experimental day 0) by injections of pregnant mare's serum gonadotrophin on days 0 and 1 and ovulation was induced by injection of human chorionic gonadotrophin on day 2. Ovaries were collected for immunohistochemistry (n=10 per group) on days 0, 2 and 5. Another group was mated and ovaries were examined on day 11 (n=7). Collagen type IV alpha1 and alpha2, laminin alpha1, beta1 and gamma1 chains, nidogens 1 and 2 and perlecan were present in the follicular basal lamina of all developmental stages. Collagen type XVIII was only found in basal lamina of primordial, primary and some preantral follicles, whereas laminin alpha2 was only detected in some preantral and antral follicles. The focimatrix, a specialised matrix of the membrana granulosa, contained collagen type IV alpha1 and alpha2, laminin alpha1, beta1 and gamma1 chains, nidogens 1 and 2, perlecan and collagen type XVIII. In the corpora lutea, staining was restricted to capillary sub-endothelial basal laminas containing collagen type IV alpha1 and alpha2, laminin alpha1, beta1 and gamma1 chains, nidogens 1 and 2, perlecan and collagen type XVIII. Laminins alpha4 and alpha5 were not immunolocalised to any structure in the mouse ovary. The ECM composition of the mouse ovary has similarities to, but also major differences from, other species with respect to nidogens 1 and 2 and perlecan.Helen F.
