Book Evaluation of Traditional and PETTLEP Imagery Interventions for Collegiate Golfers

Download or read book Evaluation of Traditional and PETTLEP Imagery Interventions for Collegiate Golfers written by Beaux M. Myers and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagery use is beneficial to performing golf tasks, such as putting (Smith et al, 2007; Taylor & Shaw, 2002), yet research has not examined the experiences of collegiate golfers in various imagery interventions. To understand how collegiate golfers experience imagery interventions, this study examined their experiences in different imagery interventions using a case study-mixed methods design. Female NCAA Division III golfers participated in a three-week, six-session traditional imagery (n = 3) or PETTLEP (n = 2; Holmes & Collins, 2001) intervention, which included guided imagery through golf-specific imagery scripts. Participants completed a pre- and post-intervention survey that included the Sport Imagery Ability Questionnaire (SIAQ; Williams & Cumming, 2011). Participants were asked to create imagery scripts for the golf task of each session and to practice imagery and record their experiences at least three times via a Qualtrics survey. Upon completion of the intervention, we conducted post-intervention individual interviews to understand their experiences during the intervention. Visual and graphical analysis results indicated an improvement in golf scores from onset of the intervention. Reflexive thematic analysis indicated a positive experience from both imagery groups towards the imagery intervention and two overarching themes for their imagery use: cognitive (e.g., slowing down, awareness of environment, and increased shot intention) and motivational (e.g., increased focus, self-efficacy, and performance). Traditional imagery was most effective when participants imagined their environment. However, PETTLEP imagery was most beneficial when participants imaged physical and emotion. Member reflection sessions were conducted to enhance trustworthiness. This case study suggests that sport psychology professionals may consider using traditional techniques to introduce imagery followed by PETTLEP for skill development. To maximize the effectiveness of PETTLEP, longer programs could be implemented with more sport-specific components, such as having golfers wear uniforms, hold specific golf items, and feeling confident and calm.

Book The Effect of a PETTLEP Imagery Intervention based Pre performance Routine on Golfer s Short game Performance

Download or read book The Effect of a PETTLEP Imagery Intervention based Pre performance Routine on Golfer s Short game Performance written by Logan Baughman and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Studies have suggested that imagery has a positive effect on performance in a variety of sports. The PETTLEP model (Holmes and Collins, 2001) includes the seven minimum elements sport psychologists incorporate into their imagery scripts. The PETTLEP model is the most comprehensive imagery model, thus providing the most functional equivalence. Golf is the interest of this study, with research stating that imagery has an overall positive impact on golf performance (Nicholls & Polman, 2005). However, studies involving the PETTLEP model have not been investigated thoroughly. There are several shots that have not been studied with the PETTLEP model, therefore this investigation will aim to shrink the gap in literature by measuring the impact on a short 30-yard shot. Thus, it was hypothesized that the use of a PETTLEP imagery intervention will significantly increase golfer’s short-shot accuracy to the pin. Additionally, it was hypothesized that imagery ability will increase across phases. The participants were 5 skilled (average score > 100) male golfers. A single-subject, ABA (baseline, intervention, return-to-baseline) design was implemented. The study occurred over a 5-week period at a local golf course. Each golfer attempted 20 shots from 30 yards away. Imagery ability was measured using the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised (MIQ-R) and the Motivational Imagery Ability Measure for Sport (MIAMS). The effectiveness of the imagery intervention on short-shot accuracy was assessed using visual inspection and graphs. Results demonstrated improvements in accuracy to the pin for five out of five participants from baseline to intervention. Results evidenced that four out of five participants decreased in accuracy during the return-to-baseline phase. Two out of five participants increased in imagery ability during the intervention. Changes in mean and variability were also evaluated using effect sizes, and suggested that two out of five participants varied less during the intervention phase. Implications of the present study include underlining the impact PETTLEP imagery has on golf performance, specifically when utilized in a pre-performance routine. Results suggest that practicing PETTLEP imagery aids in short-shot accuracy and assists in improving imagery ability.

Download or read book Multisensory Imagery written by Simon Lacey and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-01-19 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is a pear sweeter than a peach? Which of Mona Lisa’s hands is crossed over the other? What would the Moonlight Sonata sound like played by a brass band? Although these are questions that appeal to mental imagery in a variety of sensory modalities, mental imagery research has been dominated by visual imagery. With the emergence of a well-established multisensory research community, however, it is time to look at mental imagery in a wider sensory context. Part I of this book provides overviews of unisensory imagery in each sensory modality, including motor imagery, together with discussions of multisensory and cross-modal interactions, synesthesia, imagery in the blind and following brain damage, and methodological considerations. Part II reviews the application of mental imagery research in a range of settings including individual differences, skilled performance such as sports and surgical training, psychopathology and therapy, through to stroke rehabilitation. This combination of comprehensive coverage of the senses with reviews from both theoretical and applied perspectives not only complements the growing multisensory literature but also responds to recent calls for translational research in the multisensory field.
