Abstract

ABSTRACT

In the field of sport and exercise psychology, the systematic review is still considered by many, to be the gold standard literature review. However, reviews like these, which judge whether an intervention works or not, can leave many unanswered questions. When it comes to complex social interventions, failing to suggest reasons for an intervention’s efficacy, often means practitioners struggle to successfully implement research findings in the real world. This lack of detail has led many to question the utility of systematic reviews when examining behaviour change interventions in complex social environments. Realist reviews are increasing in popularity because they go beyond asking if an intervention works, to look for theories as to why a programme worked, who it worked for and in what context it worked. However, despite the growing popularity of realist reviews, there is still limited application of this approach across the sport and exercise sciences. This paper aims to increase awareness regarding the utility of realist research by offering an introduction to realist review and an explanation of the steps involved.

现实主义评论

在体育与运动心理学领域，系统综述仍然被许多人认为是文献综述的金标准。然而，像这样的评估，判断干预是否有效，可能会留下许多悬而未决的问题。当涉及到复杂的社会干预时，如果不能说明干预效果的原因，往往意味着从业者很难在现实世界中成功地实施研究结果。这种细节的缺乏导致许多人质疑在复杂社会环境中检查行为改变干预措施时系统评价的效用。现实主义评论越来越受欢迎，因为它们超越了询问干预措施是否有效的范畴，而是寻找有关一个项目为什么有效、对谁有效以及在什么背景下有效的理论。然而，尽管现实主义评论越来越受欢迎，但这种方法在体育和运动科学中的应用仍然有限。本文旨在通过介绍现实主义评论和解释所涉及的步骤，提高人们对现实主义研究效用的认识。

期刊介绍： International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology is the first scholarly, peer-reviewed journal that publishes critical reviews of research literature in sport and exercise psychology. Typically, these reviews evaluate relevant conceptual and methodological issues in the field and provide a critique of the strengths and weaknesses of empirical studies that address common themes or hypotheses. The reviews present summaries of, and conclusions about, the current state of knowledge concerning topics of interest, as well as assessments of relevant unresolved issues and future trends. Reviews of research literature on theories, topics and issues that are at the interface with mainstream psychology are especially welcome.
