TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the relationship between mental toughness and coping, and found that higher levels of mental toughness were associated with more problem or approach coping strategies, but less use of avoidance coping strategies (distancing, mental distraction, and resignation).

TL;DR: This review identifies a number of important correlates of doping intention and behavior, many of which were measured via self-reports and were drawn from an extended TPB framework.

TL;DR: The generality of the conclusion that exercise makes people feel better is questioned by proposing that (a) occasional findings of negative affective changes tend to be discounted, (b) potentially relevant negative affectives are not always measured, and (c) examining changes from pre- to postexercise could miss negative changes during exercise.

TL;DR: Support for the gateway hypothesis is offered; athletes who engage in legal performance enhancement practices appear to embody an “at‐risk” group for transition toward doping.

TL;DR: For example, this article found significant differences in mental toughness among athletes of different: achievement level, gender, age, sport experience, and sport type (team vs. individual and contact vs. non-contact sports).
