Using a general instead of a sport-specific measure, a previous study provided only mixed support for core predictions of the theory as related to sports (Schwenkmezger, 1985). With the aid of enhanced instruments and statistical methods, we tested these predictions again. The multidimensional and competition-specific assessment of anxiety results in support for the assumption of a stable A-trait and a fluctuating A-state, whereby the A-trait not only predicts the intensity of A-states but also the A-state variability. The repeated assessment of A-states prior to two competitions reveals a rather low relative consistency (i.e., interindividual differences across measurements were only moderately stable). Especially this latter finding suggests that, in order to gain a full understanding of the experience of competitive anxiety in athletes, sport psychologists should not only assess competitive A-traits, but also repeatedly measure competitive A-states.}, language = {de} } @article{KahlertBrand2011, author = {Kahlert, Daniela and Brand, Ralf}, title = {Questionnaires for assessing physical activity different response scale categories influence responses concerning health- and sport-related cognitions}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Gesundheitspsychologie}, volume = {19}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Gesundheitspsychologie}, number = {2}, publisher = {Hogrefe}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, issn = {0943-8149}, doi = {10.1026/0943-8149/a000044}, pages = {96 -- 100}, year = {2011}, abstract = {The present study examines whether the use of different frequency scales in questionnaires about physical activity influences respondents' own estimation of their activity, as well as subsequent measurements of health- und sport-related cognitions and evaluations. Using a randomized research design we recruited a sample of 118 participants. One group received a high frequency scale for assessing their exercise frequency with the response categories "never", "less often", "once a month", "once a week", or "most days." The other group answered with a medium frequency scale with the alternatives "never", "less often", " once every few months", "once a month", and " once a week or more often." As dependent variables all participants judged the subjective importance of physical activity and their health-related quality of life (WHO-QOL-bref). Results indicate the expected response errors, owing to the fact that using a high-frequency scale produces higher levels of self-reported physical activity (Cramer's V = .30). Corresponding to this the subjective importance of physical activity increased (d = .37) and the health-related quality of life was judged to be better (d = .36).

The present study compares two different methods of assessing physical activity with the purpose of testing the validity of the MoMo-AFB self-report. First, we measured the physical activity status of 73 15 to 18-year-old pupils (32 boys and 41 girls) over seven days via objective accelerometry (ActiGraph GT1M), then the pupils completed the MoMo-AFB for the same (previous) period. Results show that using the MoMo-AFB leads to higher levels of self-reported physical activity than measuring it with accelerometers. Furthermore, only the MoMo-AFB subscale MVPA (moderate-to-vigorous physical activity), that uses two single items to decide whether the health-enhancing physical activity recommendation is reached or failed, corresponds statistically significantly with the accelerometry data. For all other subscales (e.g. school- or leisure time activity), we found no agreement. Further research, first of all on the measurement quality of the MoMo-AFB but also on the physical (in)activity status of children and adolescents, is needed.}, language = {de} } @article{KleinertBrand2011, author = {Kleinert, Jens and Brand, Ralf}, title = {Quality management of sport psychology care in competitive sports - (no) effect without acceptance?!}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Sportpsychologie}, volume = {18}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Sportpsychologie}, number = {2}, publisher = {Hogrefe}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, issn = {1612-5010}, doi = {10.1026/1612-5010/a000041}, pages = {60 -- 72}, year = {2011}, abstract = {In the past decade quality management (QM) has grown to be one of the most important topics in the area of applied sport psychology. There we discuss structures, processes, and results concerning QM, considering the QM model of the European Foundation of Quality Management (EFQM). In terms of results, quality can be defined in three areas: the coaching process itself (e. g., satisfaction and well-being of coach and client), psychological skills (e. g., efficacy of techniques used by the client), and health, personality, as well as sport performance (e. g., client's motor behavior in training and competition). Measures and processes to improve and ensure quality in these three areas are discussed as being dependent on four types of determinants: associated institutions, sport psychologists (i.e., individual competence and valence of tasks), coaching character, and socio-economic factors. As key processes of QM in this complex structure, both orientation to stakeholders and communication about quality and QM measures are identified.}, language = {de} } @article{KrausEngbertDollingeretal.2012, author = {Kraus, Uta and Engbert, Kai and Dollinger, Anika and Heiss, Christian and Brand, Ralf}, title = {Evaluation of a mitial interview guide for sport psychology counseling}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Sportpsychologie}, volume = {19}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Sportpsychologie}, number = {4}, publisher = {Hogrefe}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, issn = {1612-5010}, doi = {10.1026/1612-5010/a000080}, pages = {145 -- 162}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The initial interview is important for psychological counseling regarding the acquisition of diagnostic information and in terms of establishing a professional counseling relationship.
