Imagery in sport.

Abstract: is a comprehensive overview of theoretical models, research, and practical applications of imagery in sport-related contexts. Not surprisingly, just about every study conducted on imagery in sport and motor performance is included in this book. These are used to highlight methodological paradigms, practical implication, and future research directions for inquiring minds. The reference-text approach to Imagery in Sport is facilitated by several tables enabling readers to compare and contrast extensive information. For example, major concepts of ten popular imagery theories are presented. Measurement tools are compared based on image modality, dimension, question style, number of items, and format. In addition, several models are utilized to illustrate research paradigms and specifi c imagery predictions. Aligned with ideas that imagery is an ability that improves with practice and that all athletes have the potential to expand the way they use imagery, practitioners will fi nd the four chapters devoted to imagery application informative. This section amalgamates applications from popular applied sport psychology textbook chapters that are limited in scope. Imagery in Sport includes extensive recommendations for implementing imagery training programs highlighting athlete characteristics, image content, rehearsal routines, and ways to evaluate imagery-training programs. Six popular imagery-training interventions are reviewed, including Visuomotor Behavioral Rehearsal (VMBR), the AIM strategy (Korn, 1994), guided imagery, and stress inoculation training. The applied examples and imagery scripts, albeit few, can be tailored to fi t client characteristics especially if practitioners pay close attention to Singerʼs (1988) fi ve step strategy intervention framework and key components of an imagery training program presented in chapter 8. For those interested in augmenting imagery with technological aids (a.k.a. techno-junkies), descriptions of video modeling, biofeedback, heart rate monitors, and fl otation devices will be fascinating. In another nifty table, the authors outline four imagery uses for rehabilitation contexts: healing, pain management, the process of rehabilitation, and performance-related imagery. Practitioners working in the allied health professions (e.g., physical therapists, athletic trainers) will benefi t from details about the imagery process and related outcomes, which can serve to assist in tailoring image content to specifi c rehabilitation goals. Although practicing sport psychologists are identifi ed as the target audience in the preface, Imagery in Sport will certainly appeal to inquiring minds including students and scholars embarking on related research or those who have taken a hiatus from the topic. A signifi cant portion of the layout is devoted to application

Motives for adult participation in physical activity: type of activity, age, and gender

Abstract: In recent years, there has been a decline in physical activity among adults. Motivation has been shown to be a crucial factor in maintaining physical activity. The purpose of this study was to examine whether motives for participation could accurately discriminate gender, age, and type of physical activity.

Childhood and Society.

Abstract: Erik Eriksen is a remarkable individual. He has no college degrees yet is Professor of Human Development at Harvard University. He came to psychology via art, which explains why the reader will find him painting contexts and backgrounds rather than stating dull facts and concepts. He has been a training psychoanalyst for many years as well as a perceptive observer of cultural and social settings and their effect on growing up. This is not just a book on childhood. It is a panorama of our society. Anxiety in young children, apathy in American Indians, confusion in veterans of war, and arrogance in young Nazis are scrutinized under the psychoanalytic magnifying glass. The material is well written and devoid of technical jargon. The theme of the volume is that it is human to have a long childhood which will leave a lifelong residue of emotional immaturity in man.
