Performance-related fear experiences, coping and perceived functional impact on highly skilled athletes

2013

ABSTRACT Melina Puolamäki, 2013. Performance-related fear experiences, coping and perceived functional impact on highly skilled athletes. Master’s Thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Science, University of Jyväskylä. 68p. Three types of experiences are distinguished in sport: emotional states (state-like), emotion patterns (trait-like), and meta-experiences or attitudes towards one’s experiences (Hanin, 2004). Most emotion research has traditionally focused on the study of anxiety and its impact on athletic performance. Although unpleasant emotions have been assumed harmful for performance, previous research on anxiety (Hanin, 2000) and anger (Ruiz & Hanin, 2011) ha…

Perfectionism and performance-related psychobiosocial states: The mediating role of competition appraisals.

2022

Using the multi-states (MuSt) theory as a framework, the present study focused on the individual (personality) antecedents of psychobiosocial states. Psychobiosocial states comprise emotional subjective experiences and their correlates (cognitive, motivational, volitional, bodily, motor-behavioural, operational, and communicative), that can be functional for performance (helpful) or dysfunctional (harmful). Specifically, we examined the relationships between two perfectionism dimensions (perfectionistic strivings and concerns) and functional and dysfunctional psychobiosocial states. The hypothesised mediational role of competitive appraisals was also tested. Participants (N = 271, 138 femal…

The role of social interaction during pre-performance routines : An individual zones of optimal functioning (IZOF) perspective

2019

The purpose of the current study was to provide an exploratory account of swimmers’ pre-performance routines prior to a successful performance and the influential role that social interaction plays during this time. Eight swimmers’ descriptions of their pre-performance routines were analyzed using an interpretive thematic analysis to identify salient storylines. Two overarching themes were identified: (a) athletes’ interactions with the social environment; and (b) connection between the social modality and other modalities of a psychobiosocial state. The authors conclude by promoting a move towards more contextualized understandings of pre-performance routines and an acknowledgement of the …

Shell-model study on event rates of lightest supersymmetric particles scattering off 83Kr and 125Te

2016

We investigate the elastic and inelastic scattering of lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) dark matter off two possible target nuclei, 83Kr and 125Te. For the nuclear-structure calculations, we employ the nuclear shell model using recently generated realistic interactions. We have condensed the nuclear-physics contribution to a set of nuclear-structure factors that are independent of the adopted supersymmetric (SUSY) model. Total event rates are then easily calculated by combining the nuclear-structure factors with SUSY parameters of choice. In particular, 125Te shows promise as a detector material with both the elastic and inelastic channels yielding an appreciable nuclear response. pee…

Maturity of Supply Chain as a Factor of Modeling the Relationships with Suppliers

2017

The following paper will discuss the level of maturity of the supply chain as a main factor that determines supplier relationships in the supply chain. The Ch. C. Piorier categorization was taken into consideration, where the development of supply chains includes 5 stages. Analysis of individual stages of supply chain maturity towards presented classification is a substitute for identifying different models of supplier relationships in the supply chain. In the supply chain, supplier relationships are established in order to enter into a partnership. Establishing relationships with suppliers in the supply chain appears to create by a stronger partnership. The capability of this cooperation d…

Comparison of the Richardson and BCS models of superconductivity based on calculations of ground state energies

2017

Suprajohtavuuden Richardsonin ja BCS mallien vertailu perustilojen laskettujen energioiden perusteella. Suprajohtavuus on edelleen aktiivinen tutkimuksen alue, koska sen tarjoamista mahdollisuuksista huolimatta sitä ei vielä ymmärretä kokonaisvaltaisesti. Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa käyn läpi perusteet kahdelle suprajohtavuuden mallille, Richardsonin ja BCS malleille. BCS teoria on ensimmäinen ja käytetyin mikroskooppinen suprajohtavuuden teoria. Richardsonin malli on harvemmin käytetty malli, josta saadaan redusoidun BCS Hamiltonin operaattorin tarkat ominaistilat. Lasken molempien mallien perustilojen energiat sekä redusoidulle että täydelle BCS Hamiltonin operaattorille. Sama lasketaan…

Automatic surrogate modelling technique selection based on features of optimization problems

2019

A typical scenario when solving industrial single or multiobjective optimization problems is that no explicit formulation of the problem is available. Instead, a dataset containing vectors of decision variables together with their objective function value(s) is given and a surrogate model (or metamodel) is build from the data and used for optimization and decision-making. This data-driven optimization process strongly depends on the ability of the surrogate model to predict the objective value of decision variables not present in the original dataset. Therefore, the choice of surrogate modelling technique is crucial. While many surrogate modelling techniques have been discussed in the liter…

Initial-Stage Suicide Bereavement Experiences: A Case Study.

2022

This study aimed to shed light on the initial-stage bereavement experiences of an individual bereaved by suicide, at three months from the loss of his spouse to suicide. A semi-structured in-depth interview was conducted with the individual, a man in his thirties. The data were analyzed using qualitative assimilation analysis, based on the Assimilation Model and the Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Scale (APES). The APES ratings of the interview revealed that the individual’s bereavement was associated with the earlier stages of APES (all scoring under 3.5). In addition, the swift and frequent fluctuations in the APES ratings gave indications that the bereavement was unstable and co…
