| 2. | Quiet-eye training, perceived control and performing under pressure Original Research Article Pages 721-728 Highlights► This study examined if quiet-eye (QE) training influences perceived control. ► Results showed QE training optimized aiming behavior and performance. ► QE training also improved perceptions of contingency, competence and control. ► Participants with high control beliefs were more likely to aim optimally. ► There is a relationship between control beliefs, anxiety and aiming behavior. |
| 3. | Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for use with athletes Original Research Article Pages 761-770 Highlights► The validity of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) is explored among athletes. ► The ERQ assesses individuals’ use of reappraisal and suppression to manage emotion. ► Consistency, stability, factorial and predictive validity of the ERQ are examined. ► The validity of the ERQ is generally supported, but scores are unstable over time. ► The ERQ is a valid measure of athletes’useof reappraisal and suppression. |

| 7. | I act, therefore I am: Athletic identity and the health action process approach predict sport participation among individuals with acquired physical disabilities Original Research Article Pages 713-720 Highlights► Health action process approach (HAPA) fits sport in disability populations. ► Athletic identity predicts intentions to participate in sport. ► Outcome expectancies, not risk perceptions, predicts intentions for sport. ► Planning influences sport participation through maintenance self-efficacy. |
| 8. | Profiles of perfectionism, body-related concerns, and indicators of psychological health in vocational dance students: An investigation of the 2 × 2 model of perfectionism Original Research Article Pages 729-738 Highlights► Correlates of dance students’ multidimensional perfectionism were examined. ► Perfectionism subtypes were as predicted by the 2 × 2 model of perfectionism. ► Dancers with pure PSP perfectionism have greater psychological health. ► Greater psychological distress was found for mixed perfectionism and pure ECP. |
| 9. | Domain-specific perfectionism in intercollegiate athletes: Relationships with perceived competence and perceived importance in sport and school Original Research Article Pages 747-755 Highlights► Factor analysis produced domain-specific perfectionism factors in sport/school. ► Perceived competence predicted perfectionism in sport/school. ► Perceived importance (task value) predicted perfectionism in sport/school. ► Student-athletes reported higher perfectionism levels in sport than school. ► Results support the domain-specific measurement of perfectionism. |
| 10. | Athletes’ experiences of expressive writing about sports stressors Original Research Article Pages 798-806 Highlights► We explore two approaches to expressive writing about sports stressors. ► The first used a standard approach and the second a reversal theory based approach. ► Key outcomes were perspective change, self development, and emotion management. ► Expressive writing may be a useful technique for some athletes to manage stress. |
| 11. | (De)Constructing Paula Radcliffe: Exploring media representations of elite running, pregnancy and motherhood through cultural sport psychology Original Research Article Pages 820-829 Highlights► We extend understandings of how the media constructs one elite runner’s motherhood identities. ► Meanings were explored through cultural sport psychology, textual and visual analysis. ► Specific identities were constructed through a pregnancy and motherhood as redemption narrative. ► Specific identities and meanings had psychological and behavioural implications. |

| 14. | Psychometric properties and concurrent validity of two exercise addiction measures: A population wide study Original Research Article Pages 739-746 Highlights► The psychometric properties of Exercise Addiction Inventory and Exercise Dependence Scale were examined. ► Both scales proved to be reliable and valid; factor structure was confirmed by CFA. ► Correlation between the two measures was high (r = 0.79) supporting the convergent validity of both scales. ► 6.2% (EAI) and 10.1% (EDS) of the general population were identified as nondependent-symptomatic exercisers. ► 0.3% (EAI) and 0.5% (EDS) of the general population were identified as being at risk for exercise dependence. |
| 15. | Antecedents of self identity and consequences for action control: An application of the theory of planned behaviour in the exercise domain Original Research Article Pages 771-778 Highlights► The intention–exercise gap is less pronounced when strong exercise identities exist. ► Affect and PBC distinguish successful from unsuccessful intenders. ► Exercise self-identity is predicted by affect, PBC, and previous exercise identity. |
| 16. | Psychometric evaluation of the Timeline Followback for Exercise among college students Original Research Article Pages 779-788 Highlights► We examine psychometric properties of an exercise behavioral measure. ► Validity is shown through correlations with other measures of physical activity. ► Reliability is shown using a test–retest method. ► The exercise behavioral measure may improve upon current physical activity measures. |
| 17. | The efficacy of exergames-incorporated physical education lessons in influencing drivers of physical activity: A comparison of children and pre-adolescents Pages 756-760 Highlights► Study examined exergaming’s attitudinal effects during physical exercise. ► Exergaming was found to influence exercise intention motivators. ► The effect of exergaming in PE is more evident among children than pre-adolescents. |
