The Temporal Ordering of Motivation and Self-Control: A Cross-Lagged Effects Model. J. Sport Exerc. Psychol. (IF 2.239) Pub Date : 2020-02-27 Gro Jordalen,Pierre-Nicolas Lemyre,Natalie Durand-Bush,Andreas Ivarsson
Mechanisms leading to cognitive energy depletion in performance settings such as high-level sports highlight likely associations between individuals' self-control capacity and their motivation. Investigating the temporal ordering of these concepts combining self-determination theory and psychosocial self-control theories, the authors hypothesized that athletes' self-control capacity would be more influenced

Anticipation and Situation-Assessment Skills in Soccer Under Varying Degrees of Informational Constraint. J. Sport Exerc. Psychol. (IF 2.239) Pub Date : 2020-02-06 Itay Basevitch,Gershon Tenenbaum,Edson Filho,Selen Razon,Nataniel Boiangin,Paul Ward
The authors tested the notion that expertise effects would be more noticeable when access to situational information was reduced by occluding (i.e., noncued) or freezing (i.e., cued) the environment under temporal constraints. Using an adaptation of tasks developed by Ward, Ericsson, and Williams, the participants viewed video clips of attacking soccer plays frozen or occluded at 3 temporal points
