Psychological drivers in doping: The life-cycle model of performance enhancement

Reads0

TLDR
A hypothesized life-cycle model of PE identifies vulnerability factors across the stages of athlete development with the view of informing the design of anti-doping assessment and intervention and suggests deterrence strategies are likely to be more effective.
Abstract
Background Performance enhancement (PE) is a natural and essential ingredient of competitive sport. Except for nutritional supplement contamination, accidental use of doping is highly unlikely. It requires deliberation, planning and commitment; and is influenced by a host of protective and risk factors.

Personal and Psychosocial Predictors of Doping Use in Physical Activity Settings: A Meta-Analysis

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.

Gateway to doping? Supplement use in the context of preferred competitive situations, doping attitude, beliefs, and norms.

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.

Measuring explicit attitude toward doping: Review of the psychometric properties of the Performance Enhancement Attitude Scale

TL;DR: The Performance Enhancement Attitude Scale (PEAS) as mentioned in this paper is a self-reported measure of a generalized doping attitude, which is used to measure self-declared attitudes toward doping.

Clean Olympians? Doping and anti-doping: The views of talented young British athletes

TL;DR: That the social emotion of shame was considered a significant deterrent suggests anti-doping efforts that cultivate a shared sense of responsibility to remain 'clean' and emphasise the social sanctions associated with being deemed a 'drugs cheat', resonate with this atypical social group.

Methodological considerations regarding response bias effect in substance use research: is correlation between the measured variables sufficient?

TL;DR: The results of this study clearly demonstrate the presence of SD effect and the inadequacy of the commonly used pairwise correlation to assess social desirability at model level.

Self-efficacy: toward a unifying theory of behavioral change.

TL;DR: An integrative theoretical framework to explain and to predict psychological changes achieved by different modes of treatment is presented and findings are reported from microanalyses of enactive, vicarious, and emotive mode of treatment that support the hypothesized relationship between perceived self-efficacy and behavioral changes.

From Intentions to Actions: A Theory of Planned Behavior

Icek Ajzen
TL;DR: There appears to be general agreement among social psychologists that most human behavior is goal-directed (e. g., Heider, 1958 ; Lewin, 1951), and human social behavior can best be described as following along lines of more or less well-formulated plans.

Handbook of Child Psychology

William Damon
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the importance of biology for human development and the role of the human brain in the development of human cognition and behavior, and propose a model of human development based on the Bioecological Model of Human Development.

Self-efficacy: Toward a unifying theory of behavioural change?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the possibility that psychological treatments for phobias operate by modifying action-outcome expectations, without altering efficacy expectations, and they find no evidence to support Bandura's contention that psychological procedures, whatever their form, serve as means of creating and strengthening expectations of personal efficacy.

Why are young men more likely to support and engage in doping if they are dissatisfied with their bodies?

The model suggests that, instead of focusing on the actual engagement in prohibited PE practices, deterrence strategies are likely to be more effective if they target the influencing factors at the appropriate stage and identify groups of athletes and their respective career stages, which pose particular risks of engagement in doping practices.
