The purpose of the study was to further examine the relationship between mental toughness (MT) and dispositional flow in sport. A sample of 256 athletes (M age = 23.65 years, SD = 5.43), competing at international (n = 59), national (n = 77), and club/university (n = 120) levels completed questionnaires assessing MT and dispositional flow. A significant and positive correlation was found between MT and dispositional flow (r = 0.50, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis revealed that MT had a significant direct effect on the flow dimensions of challenge-skills balance, clear goals, unambiguous feedback, sense of control and concentration on the task at hand, and significant indirect effects on concentration on the task at hand, sense of control, loss of self-consciousness, action-awareness merging and autotelic experience. Findings suggest that MT has direct and indirect effects on the characteristics of flow, offering new insights regarding optimal human functioning.

Using self-determination theory as a theoretical framework, this study aimed to understand the role of individualism and collectivism in burnout among sport officials. Fifty umpires from Australia and Singapore were recruited to complete a multi-section questionnaire. No differences in individualism and collectivism between the countries were found, but results showed cultural differences in basic needs satisfaction, types of motivation, and symptoms of burnout. Individualism had a marginal moderating effect on the relationship between basic needs satisfaction for relatedness and overall levels of self-determined motivation. Results suggest that the process of burnout for sport officials may be different from athlete burnout.

The Mental Toughness Questionnaire-48 (MTQ48; Clough, Earle, & Sewell, 2002) is the most utilised instrument to measure Mental Toughness in sport (Gucciardi, Hanton, & Mallett, 2012). To date, preliminary research (Gucciardi et al., 2012; Perry et al., 2013) examining the factorial validity of the MTQ48 in athlete samples has yielded equivocal findings. The aim of this paper was to re-examine the factorial validity of the four- and six-factor models of the MTQ48 in moderate (n = 480) and large (n = 1206) independent student athlete samples. Using confirmatory factor analyses, findings revealed little support for the hypothesised models of the MTQ48 in both samples. The results support those found by Gucciardi et al. and Perry et al. and suggest that, in its current form, the MTQ48 may not be a valid measure of the 4/6Cs model of mental toughness when using student athletes.

1 The purpose of the current study was to examine the interactive effects of punishment 2 and reward sensitivity in predicting Mentally Tough behaviour and performance in 3 swimming. First, we validated a measure of MT behaviour in a mixed sample of competitive 4 swimmers and then examined the interactive effects of punishment and reward sensitivities in 5 predicting MT behaviour. A second purpose of the study was to examine whether punishment 6 and reward sensitivities can account for race time performance. Results found significant 7 interactions between reward and punishment sensitivity across both studies. That is, as 8 punishment sensitivity increased MT and race times improved when reward sensitivity was 9 low. However, both decreased when reward sensitivity was high. Results add to previous 10 research showing that athletes who are sensitive to punishment and insensitive to reward 11 display stronger MT behaviours and as a consequence, swim faster. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Personality, mental toughness and swimming performance 2 The development and maintenance of Mental Toughness (MT) in sport has become a 1 topic of increasing interest over the past 15 years. Researchers generally agree that MT can 2 be defined as consistently maintaining performance and goal directed behaviour under a 3 range of different stressors (e.g., Gucciardi, Hanton, & Mallett, 2012; Hardy, Bell & Beattie, 4 2014). However, early research findings were heavily driven by qualitative studies (e.g., Bull, 5 Shambrook, James, & Brooks, 2005; Connaughton, Hanton, & Jones, 2010; Connaughton, 6 Wadey, Hanton, & Jones, 2008; Gucciardi, Gordon, & Dimmock, 2008; Jones, Hanton, & 7 Connaughton, 2002; Jones, Hanton, & Connaughton, 2007) who identified a very large 8 number of characteristics that are associated with MT (e.g., Anderson, 2011 lists over 70). 9 Hardy et al. (2014) also argue that although qualitative studies allow one to examine 10 correlates of MT, they do little to determine the causes, processes, and outcomes of being 11 mentally tough. 12 Quantitative research in MT has received equal criticism. For example, Gucciardi, 13 Mallett, Hanrahan and Gordon (2011) note various limitations in measures of MT e.g., the 14 Mental Toughness Questionnaire 48 (Clough, Earle & Sewell, 2002); the Cricket Mental 15 Toughness Inventory (Gucciardi & Gordon, 2009); the Australian football Mental Toughness 16 Inventory (Gucciardi, Gordon, & Dimmock, 2009); the Psychological Performance Inventory 17 (Loehr, 1986); and the Sport Mental Toughness Questionnaire (Sheard, Golby, Wersch, 18 2009). Such limitations include poor construct validation, measurement invariance, 19 reliability, and lack of generalisability across populations. Further, as in the qualitative 20 research, there has been an abundance of factors associated with quantitative measures of 21 MT, which would suggest MT is multidimensional in nature.

The present study explored relationships between mental toughness (MT), barriers to exercise, and self-reported exercise behaviour in university students. Perceived barriers to exercise are important since previous work has identified barriers as strong predictors of exercise behaviour. MT was hypothesised to predict exercise barriers and self-reported exercise behaviour. Participants were 173 undergraduate students (45 men, 128 women) from 10 United Kingdom universities. Questionnaires were used to assess MT, exercise levels, and exercise barriers. Path analysis identified that MT predicted barriers to exercise, with higher MT associated with weaker perceived barriers. Regular exercisers were found to have significantly higher MT than non-regular exercisers, with commitment identified as a key difference. These findings support the proposed hypotheses and provide further evidence of the importance of MT in exercise / physical activity contexts. Future research that adopts longitudinal designs and tests targeted interventions to reduce perceptions of barriers and enhance exercise participation are encouraged.

The purpose of this case study was to explore the effectiveness of an individualized, strengths-based coaching approach with an elite cricketer, when compared to two control participants. The coaching consisted of four meetings that occurred over a one month period at the start of the cricket season. Multisource ratings (i.e., self, coaches, teammates) of mental toughness were obtained at baseline, intervention, and postseason. Visual analysis of data revealed general improvements in raw scores of multisource ratings of mental toughness for the experimental participant, with relatively stable levels of mental toughness indicated for the two control participants. Reliable changes in attentional control and self-belief facets were evidenced according to our statistical criterion. This case study has provided initial evidence for the effectiveness of an individualized, strengths-based coaching approach to develop facets of mental toughness, and supports the need for further evaluative research on positive psychology interventions in sport contexts.

Research has indicated that adversity created in training environments can develop mental toughness in adolescent athletes (Bell, Hardy, & Beattie, 2013; Connaughton, Hanton, & Jones, 2010; Gucciardi, Gordon, & Dimmock, 2008). However, few studies (Bell et al., 2013) have explored this development prospectively. Employing a pragmatic, longitudinal, mixed methods design, this study assessed 70 adolescent wrestlers participating in an established intensive wrestling camp that systematically employed adversity. The Trait Sport Confidence Inventory, the State Hope Scale, and the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 were administered at the outset, conclusion, and nine-months-following the camp. A repeated measures MANOVA with post-hoc measures showed increases in seven variables, maintained at the nine-month follow-up, with the strongest partial effect sizes in hope (η = .242), sport confidence (η = .151), and coping with adversity (η = .142). Interviews with eight participants, conducted throughout the camp, one-week post-camp, and nine-months post-camp, yielded five high-order themes: enhanced confidence, work ethic, development of empowering attributes (e.g., responsibility, internal control), enhanced thought processes (e.g., self-awareness), and enhanced interpersonal skills. Results suggest that this highly-structured adverse training environment has the ability to develop a range of skills and dispositions related to mental toughness, and that some of these factors may transfer to other life contexts.

Although many studies examine if players in sports and especially in tennis bene t from a psychological or physiological boost (momentum) none examine whether the set score as a dependent variable or tournament rounds as independent variables are important determinants when assessing momentum. We empirically investigate whether professional female and male tennis players benefit from momentum. In contrast to previous work, we nd players we find players bene t from momentum as long as they control a match. Once players lose control over a match, they have a signi cantly lower chance to win the next set than their opponent. This loss of control results in what we call anti-momentum.

This study investigated how individuals with different levels of experience, knowledge, and skill made decisions on passing the hall during competitive games of futsal, based on information about angular interpersonal coordination with teammates and opponents. For this purpose, we analysed 80 passes performed by 40 male players (M = 13.0 years, SD = 0.7) differentiated by levels of experience, knowledge, and skill. Results revealed that: (1) players with low levels of knowledge performed successful passes with higher initial angular values than unsuccessful passes; and (2), experienced and skilful players completed successful passes based on information of the variability of emergence of angular interpersonal coordination. The findings revealed the attunement of players to the emergent dynamics of relationships with their teammates, and their teammates' marking defenders, as a crucial aspect of effective decision-making on where and whom to pass to.
