This textbook covers topics in sport and exercise psychology for students of psychology and sport science, as well as for sport practitioners who want to understand topics in sport psychology in more detail and depth. The book is divided into two main parts: Theory and Application. The first part covers the theoretical facets of sport and exercise psychology, and the close link between theory and practice, divided into the sub-disciplines of psychology (cognition, motivation, emotion, personality and development, and social processes). The second part focuses on the applications of sport and exercise psychology in the context of performance and health. With contributions from scholars across the globe, the book offers an international and timely perspective on the key fundaments of sport psychology. Taken together, these chapters provide a challenging yet accessible overview of the larger field of sport and exercise psychology. This book is suitable for readers at different levels of competence, supported with didactic elements (learning objectives and learning control questions) to find the right learning level.
Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2002 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, grade: Magna Cum Laude, University of Göttingen (Sozialwissenschaftliche Fakultät), language: English, abstract: Increased speed leads to a reduction of time available to a person for a particular action. This has the effect that the demands on the mental regulation of this action are increased and thus the person-environment-interaction is intensified. This doctoral thesis deals with precisely this question of the optimal action using the example of high speed, which is discussed on the basis of practical experience reports from aviation and sport, reflected using theoretical approaches from various disciplines and presented in process models. The topic is of interest both for the situations studied and for everyday situations. The author wants to encourage his readers to relate the empirical results to individual and collective issues in everyday economic or societal life that result in increased speed and thus stress.
