Abstract

This study examined the home advantage effect in decisive National Basketball Association Conference Finals and Finals series playoff games from 1979 to 2019 (the 3-point shot era). We also examined the potential contribution of various offensive- and defensive-based skills and whether these skills mediated the relationship between game status (decisive vs. nondecisive) and outcome (win vs. loss). Overall, we found evidence of a home court advantage with the home team winning 63% of the decisive playoff games and 66% of the nondecisive playoff games. After adjusting for multiple comparisons and regular season win percentage, the home team had significantly more defensive rebounds and steals in Game 5 when trailing 3-1 going into that game. Mediation analyses did not reveal any significant findings when examining the impact of decisive game status on performance through offensive and defensive skills, thus suggesting there are other explanations for the home advantage effect.

1979 - 2019年nba东部决赛和总决赛系列赛主场优势:攻防技术的中介分析

本研究考察了1979 - 2019年(三分球时代)nba联盟决赛和总决赛系列赛决定性比赛的主场优势效应。我们还研究了各种基于进攻和防守的技能的潜在贡献，以及这些技能是否介导了游戏状态(决定性与非决定性)和结果(胜利与失败)之间的关系。总的来说，我们发现了主场优势的证据，主场球队赢得了63%的决定性季后赛和66%的非决定性季后赛。在调整了多个比较和常规赛胜率之后，主场球队在第五场比赛中以3-1落后的情况下有更多的防守篮板和抢断。在考察决定性比赛状态通过攻防技术对成绩的影响时，中介分析没有发现任何显著的发现，从而表明主场优势效应存在其他解释。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology (JSEP) is a peer-reviewed publication designed to stimulate and communicate research theory in all areas of sport and exercise psychology. JSEP emphasizes original research reports that advance our understanding of human behavior as it relates to sport and exercise. Comprehensive reviews employing both qualitative and quantitative methods are also encouraged, as well as brief reports of soundly designed research studies that are of special interest or importance. Areas of interest include research in social, clinical, developmental, and experimental psychology, as well as psychobiology and personality. Moreover, the terms sport and exercise may pertain to either the independent or dependent variables. Generally speaking, work on motor control processes, studies of sport as a social institution, or broader social issues are beyond the scope of JSEP. A wide variety of methods are acceptable for studying sport and exercise psychology topics.
