Abstract

In response to widespread concerns about interpersonal violence towards athletes in sport, the safe sport movement has emerged as a concerted effort to prevent harm and safeguard athlete well-being. Increased attention on safe sport is reflected in the growth of research and the development of education initiatives, policies, and complaint mechanisms. Given the rapid progress in safe sport-related research and initiatives, as well as the complex and multifaceted nature of safe sport issues, a critical look at the field is timely. Using a constructivist lens, we suggest that safe sport is characterized by various ontological, epistemological, and axiological limitations, which encompass conceptual, methodological, and practical shortcomings. This analysis aims to stimulate scholarly discussion and enhance understanding of the complex challenges inherent in safe sport through a critical examination of its shortcomings.

期刊介绍： Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
