PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENTUM AND SKILL PERFORMANCE: A LABORATORY STUDY. JOURNAL OF APPLIED SPORT PSYCHOLOGY
Abstract:
This laboratory study investigated the influence of psychological momentum on skill performance in a controlled sports setting. Building on the premise that psychological momentum can significantly impact athletes’ mental states, the research aimed to explore the nuanced relationship between psychological momentum and the execution of motor skills.
Participants engaged in a series of simulated sports scenarios where the researchers manipulated factors contributing to psychological momentum. The study focused on both positive and negative momentum created through successful or unsuccessful plays, aiming to isolate the psychological variables affecting subsequent skill performance.
Data analysis included measurements of participants’ confidence levels, focus, and overall skill execution in response to varying degrees of psychological momentum. The results provided insights into the mechanisms by which momentum, whether positive or negative, can shape athletes’ cognitive and motor responses during a competitive context.
Understanding the interplay between psychological momentum and skill performance has implications for sports psychology interventions, training strategies, and coaching methodologies. The findings contribute to a deeper comprehension of the psychological factors influencing athletes’ abilities to harness or overcome momentum in dynamic sporting environments.
