And Coping

Purpose The sports industry is a forerunner in the international quest for talent as the search by sport clubs and the corresponding self-initiated expatriation of athletes starts at a very early age. The purpose of this paper is to address this phenomenon by exploring the experiences of talented young Icelandic footballers (soccer players) in their transition from Iceland into senior-level professional football in European leagues across six dimensions – three individual and three cultural. Design/methodology/approach Biographical narrative interviews have been conducted with eight Icelandic players moving overseas at a young age with the purpose of advancing their career. To investigate the coping strategies applied, a purposeful sampling approach was chosen, given that half of the participants successfully dealt with transitions in their career, while the other half did not experience the same success. Findings As an overall result, the expatriate journey for young footballers is complex, influenced by many events, expectations, conditions and pressures that affect their support web and ability to adjust. Reflecting on the experiences of successful transitions, problem-focused coping strategies have been more effective than emotion-focused coping. Research limitations/implications This study highlights some necessary conditions and coping strategies for young self-initiated sports expatriates to cope with the expatriate transition successfully. Originality/value The authors contribute to research on expatriation, as this specific group of “young professionals” has not yet been addressed by the research within international human resource management. Our research framework responds to calls in the literature to consider additional stages of player development and an array of individual and cultural factors that may have a significant role in shaping players’ careers abroad.

Athlete Burnout

This study investigated the association of coping strategies burnout symptoms in 228 Under-20 Brazilian soccer players in a career transition phase and compared these variables with the occurrence of injuries and professionalization. The instruments used in the study were the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire and the Athletic Coping Strategies Inventory-28. Data analysis was conducted through generalized estimation equations, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression (p < .05). The results showed that coping was associated with physical and emotional exhaustion in both professional and nonprofessional players, and with a reduced sense of accomplishment only in young nonprofessional athletes who were in the career transition phase. It is concluded that young elite athletes who are in the transition phase of their career but have not signed a professional contract, use limited coping strategies and seem more exposed to stress (compared with those who have signed a contract), and are consequently more vulnerable to burnout symptoms.

As Stress

El objetivo de este estudio fue medir los niveles de estrés antes y después de una intervención psicológica centrada en el desarrollo de estrategias de afrontamiento e identificar si esas diferencias fueron estadísticamente significativas en una muestra de futbolistas semiprofesionales. La selección de la muestra fue no probabilística en donde participaron 22 futbolistas varones de 14 a 23 años de edad en el estudio diagnóstico. En el análisis de datos inferencial, se utilizó una prueba no paramétrica t de Wilcoxon para muestras relacionadas en donde participaron 11 jugadores para la comparación entre medias en la variable estrés, antes y después de la intervención en el desarrollo de estrategias de afrontamiento. El instrumento utilizado para este estudio fue el cuestionario de estrés para deportistas Restq-Sport. En los resultados diagnósticos se encontraron una puntación en el índice de estrés de 2.80 lo cual indicó que la mitad del grupo reportó una necesidad de trabajar una intervención en estrategias de afrontamiento, sin embargo, después de intervenir con los 11 futbolistas con las puntuaciones más elevadas en estrés que fue de 2.05, se redujo el índice de estrés específico del deporte con una puntuación de 1.53 indicando que las estrategias de afrontamiento aprendidas y utilizadas por los futbolistas tuvieron un efecto positivo en el ámbito deportivo. Como conclusiones del estudio, en el desarrollo de las estrategias de afrontamiento como intervención al estrés en los futbolistas, se redujeron los indicadores del estrés específico al deporte, pero no del estrés en general, lo que podría indicar una posible falta de generalización de la habilidad en otros contextos y por el período en que se aplicó el postest con los futbolistas durante fechas que coincidieron con sus exámenes escolares.Abstract. The objective of this study was to measure stress levels before and after a psychological intervention focused on the development of coping strategies, and to identify if those differences were statistically significant in a sample of semi-professional soccer players. The selection of the sample was non-probabilistic, by which 22 male soccer players from 14 to 23 years of age were selected for the diagnostic study. For the inferential data analysis, non-parametric Wilcoxon t-test for related samples was employed, involving the comparison of 11 players’ means in stress before and after the intervention in the development of coping strategies. The instrument used for this study was the Restq-Sport athlete stress questionnaire. In the diagnostic results, a stress index score of 2.80 was found, which indicated half of the group reported a need to work an intervention in coping strategies; however, after implementing the intervention with the 11 soccer players with the highest levels of stress, which was 2.05, the sport-specific stress index dropped to a score of 1.53, indicating that coping strategies learned and used by soccer players had a positive effect in the sports field. As conclusions of the study, in the development of coping strategies as stress intervention in soccer players, the indicators of sport-specific stress were reduced, but not those of general stress, which could indicate a possible lack of generalization of the skill in other context. The period in which the posttest was applied with the soccer players was during the dates that coincided with their school exams.

The Relationship

Objectives: To explore the effect of social support and ability perception on stress coping strategies for competitive stress, and to reveal the mediating effects of primary and secondary evaluation, so as to further improve the theoretical model of stress coping in soccer players.Methods: A total of 331 male athletes from 22 teams in the Chengdu Middle School Campus Football League were taken as survey samples, and surveys were conducted on their stress experience, social support, ability perception, cognitive assessment, and coping strategies for competition stress. SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 statistical analysis software were used. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to process the obtained data.Results: (1) Positive primary assessment acted as a full mediator in the relationship between social support and secondary assessments, and negative primary assessment acted as a partial mediator in the relationship between competence perception and secondary assessments; (2) Secondary assessment played a partial mediating role between positive primary assessment and positive coping strategies, and a full mediating role between negative primary assessment and positive coping strategies; (3) Secondary assessments played the mediator neither between social support and a coping strategy for stress nor competence perception and a coping strategy for stress; (4) Positive primary assessment, positive negative assessment, and secondary assessment all had significant positive benefits for positive coping. Still, the impact of positive primary assessment on positive coping was significantly better than negative primary assessment and secondary assessment.Conclusion: The coping strategy for the competitive stress model proposed by this study has a very good fit for the causal model. It can be used to explain the observed data from soccer players in middle schools. The primary and secondary assessments play different roles in the model. The combination of problem focuses and emotional focus on the positive stress coping strategy is suitable in the field of competitive sports. Still, the relevant research results need to be further explored and verified in the future.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the emotional tone and verbal behavior of social media users who self-identified as having tinnitus and/or hyperacusis that caused self-described negative consequences on daily life or health. Research Design and Method An explanatory mixed-methods design was utilized. Two hundred “initial” and 200 “reply” Facebook posts were collected from members of a tinnitus group and a hyperacusis group. Data were analyzed via the LIWC 2015 software program and compared to typical bloggers. As this was an explanatory mixed-methods study, we used qualitative thematic analyses to explain, interpret, and illustrate the quantitative results. Results Overall, quantitative results indicated lower overall emotional tone for all categories (tinnitus and hyperacusis, initial and reply), which was mostly influenced by higher negative emotion. Higher levels of authenticity or truth were found in the hyperacusis sample but not in the tinnitus sample. Lower levels of clout (social standing) were indicated in all groups, and a lower level of analytical thinking style (concepts and complex categories rather than narratives) was found in the hyperacusis sample. Additional analysis of the language indicated higher levels of sadness and anxiety in all groups and lower levels of anger, particularly for initial replies. These data support prior findings indicating higher levels of anxiety and depression in this patient population based on the actual words in blog posts and not from self-report questionnaires. Qualitative results identified 3 major themes from both the tinnitus and hyperacusis texts: suffering, negative emotional tone, and coping strategies. Conclusions Results from this study suggest support for the predominant clinical view that patients with tinnitus and hyperacusis have higher levels of anxiety and depression than the general population. The extent of the suffering described and patterns of coping strategies suggest clinical practice patterns and the need for research in implementing improved practice plans.

Summary: The Gudjonsson Compliance Scale (GCS), the COPE Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were administered to 212 men and 212 women. Multiple regression of the test scores showed that low self-esteem and denial coping were the best predictors of compliance in both men and women. Significant sex differences emerged on all three scales, with women having lower self-esteem than men, being more compliant, and using different coping strategies when confronted with a stressful situation. The sex difference in compliance was mediated by differences in self-esteem between men and women.
