Book excerpt: Imagery, in today's world of sport psychology, is as vital and fundamental a part of an athlete's mental game plan as the physical training required for conditioning. With a widespread embrace of such a philosophy comes new ways to analyse and measure its performance among athletes. In 'The Sport Imagery Questionnaire: Test Manual' the authors assess athletes' use of imagery by proposing and outlining a specifically designed evaluation of its effectiveness, the Sport Imagery Questionnaire (SIQ). The Manual is designed for sport psychologists, coaches, athletes, or anyone who seeks to understand or quantify the use of mental imagery in sport. Features: A 4-page reproduction of the Sport Imagery Questionnaire in an easy-to-photocopy format, complete with instructions and specific rating chart; A 'Scoring the SIQ' section to calculate imagery performance; A brief overview of the SIQ clearly and explicitly outlining its purpose and function; 3 comprehensive chapters dedicated to understanding imagery, explaining the methods involved in both developing and successfully utilising the SIQ, and the psychometric properties and normative data of the questionnaire itself.
Download or read book Imagery in Sport written by Tony Morris and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2005 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has long been known that almost all elite athletes use imagery and that most sport psychologists apply imagery in working with athletes. But most material on the subject has been, to this point, relegated to single chapters in books, to journal articles, or to conference proceedings. Now Imagery in Sport addresses the breadth of what researchers and practitioners in sport psychology know about the topic, and it treats each issue in depth, considering current theories and research on imagery and its application in sport. The reference also addresses future directions in research and practice for imagery in sport. In doing so, Imagery in Sport provides the most comprehensive look at the state of imagery and its uses in sport today. The authors take readers step by step through understanding, investigating, applying, and advancing imagery in sport. The text includes the following: -Sample scripts, preperformance suggestions, and sport-specific and site-specific tips -Presentation and critical analysis of 10 well-known theoretical frameworks for understanding imagery -A full chapter devoted to understanding and successfully using the available measures of imagery in sport, including how to administer imagery-ability measures Imagery in Sport takes complex theories and presents them clearly, using examples from everyday sport contexts. The book helps readers become familiar with the current knowledge about the topic and learn to view it with a critical eye. And it provides practicing sport psychologists with guidelines and strategies for using imagery to help athletes improve their performances.

Download or read book The Effects of Mindfulness Meditation Preceding Imagery on Performance and Image Vividness of a Closed Motor Skill written by Kevin Daniel Kurtz and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Imagery is a common technique for performance enhancement in sport and performance domains. Research has provided evidence for the use of imagery in improving confidence (Callow, Hardy & Hall, 2001; Callow & Waters, 2005), managing competition anxiety (Hanton & Jones, 1999; Evans, Jones & Mullen, 2004; Mellalieu, Hanton & Thomas, 2009), improving self-efficacy (Jones et al., 2002; O, Munroe-Chandler, Hall & Hall, 2014), and enhancing motor skill performance (Hinshaw, 1991; Driskell, Copper & Moran, 1994). Image vividness, or clarity of the image, has been shown to have a moderating effect on the effectiveness of interventions in athletic populations (Isaac, 1992). Research into the effects of engaging in relaxation techniques prior to imagery training are equivocal. Some advocate that strategies aimed at creating a "calm mind-aroused body" should be used (Holmes & Collins, 2001). The purpose of the present study was to determine if mindfulness meditation prior to imagery enhances imagery vividness and performance of a self-paced closed motor skill relative to imagery in isolation. A within-subjects counter-balanced design was used. Participants were assessed on their state-trait anxiety and imagery ability before engaging in either a mindfulness exercise followed by imagery (mindfulness plus imagery), or imagery in isolation. Participants were assessed on performance of the closed motor skill and asked to rate the vividness of their imagery. No significant differences in performance or vividness were observed between the two conditions. There was a significant effect of day, as participants' had lower levels of error on day two and higher levels of vividness on day two. A significant interaction was found such that those with higher levels of trait anxiety had lower error after mindfulness plus imagery, while those with lower levels of trait anxiety earned lower error scores after imagery in isolation. Practical implications and suggestions for future research are discussed."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social problems in many domains, including health, education, social relationships, and the workplace, have their origins in human behavior. The documented links between behavior and social problems have compelled governments and organizations to prioritize and mobilize efforts to develop effective, evidence-based means to promote adaptive behavior change. In recognition of this impetus, The Handbook of Behavior Change provides comprehensive coverage of contemporary theory, research, and practice on behavior change. It summarizes current evidence-based approaches to behavior change in chapters authored by leading theorists, researchers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines, including psychology, sociology, behavioral science, economics, philosophy, and implementation science. It is the go-to resource for researchers, students, practitioners, and policy makers looking for current knowledge on behavior change and guidance on how to develop effective interventions to change behavior.
