Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap Universitetet i Agder 2010 Formålet med denne studien er å undersøke hvilken effekt lederatferd og kohesjon har på kollektiv mestringsforventning i fotballag.

Felles mentale modeller i elitelagballspill: En kvalitativ analyse av spilleres opplevelse av medspillerkunnskap i fotball og håndball
2018
Hensikten med denne undersøkelsen er å utforske medspillerkunnskap (team member knowledge) på elitenivå i lagballspill – teoretisk forankret i felles mentale modeller. Medspillerkunnskapen er teamspesifikk og ikke en type kunnskap som spilleren kan transportere med seg fra lag til lag. Eksisterende forskningslitteratur forteller svært lite om spillernes kunnskap om medspillere og betydningen av denne i spillet. Følgende forskningsspørsmål skal derfor belyses: Hvordan beskriver elitespillere sin kjennskap til medspillere? Hvordan opplever spillerne at kunnskap om medspillere utvikles? Undersøkelsen følger et ideografisk forskningsdesign, og det empiriske materialet består av intervjuer med f…

2016
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Mental toughness, anxiety and pressure are well-used terms within sports, even though it can be difficult to understand the meaning of them.

Mental toughness was measured by using the SMTQ and anxiety by using the CSAI-2. Of all the referees included in this study, 97.2% had been active footballers themselves, 44.3% had played on a high level. There…
"Successful and feminine athlete" and "natural-born fighter" : a discursive exploration of female judoka's identities in Greece and Finland
2018
Despite feminist concerns about the asymmetrical distribution of power in martial arts and combat sports (MACS), sport psychology research has overlooked issues of inequality and socio-cultural difference, as well as their effects on athletes’ experiences and identity negotiation. The present doctoral dissertation explores the intersection of gender, culture, and identity in judo through the lens of cultural praxis and feminist poststructuralist frameworks. The aim was to explore in what ways the cultural context shapes the experiences and identities of female judoka (judo athletes). Two specific objectives were set: to trace the discourses (systems of knowledge) through which female judoka…
