Abstract

Abstract Objectives The purpose of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of an imagery intervention on eudaimonic well-being (EWB) of soccer players using a single-subject multiple baseline design. Methods Five female varsity level soccer players (M age =19.80, SD=1.64) participated in the study. Each athlete engaged in eight individual imagery sessions (i.e., intervention phase) aimed at increasing EWB. Results Visual and statistical analyses demonstrated a small increase on EWB for two participants. However, post-intervention interviews revealed that all the players believed the intervention was beneficial and had a positive impact on their EWB. Conclusions The utility of employing imagery interventions for enhancing athletes’ EWB in various contexts within and outside sport was highlighted.

检验意象干预在提高运动员生理幸福感方面的有效性

摘要目的本研究的目的是使用单受试者多基线设计来检验图像干预对足球运动员日常幸福感（EWB）的有效性。方法5名女子足球队队员（男19.80，标准差1.64）参加研究。每名运动员都参加了八次个人形象训练（即干预阶段），旨在提高EWB。结果视觉和统计分析显示，两名参与者的EWB略有增加。然而，干预后的采访显示，所有参与者都认为干预是有益的，并对他们的EWB产生了积极影响。结论强调了在运动内外的各种背景下，采用图像干预提高运动员EWB的效用。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is the first peer-reviewed journal devoted to research on the role of imagery in sport, physical activity, exercise, and rehabilitation settings. Imagery, also referred to as cognitive enactment or visualization, is one of the most popular performance enhancement and rehabilitation techniques in sports and physical activity. Journal editors Craig Hall (University of Western Ontario) and Sandra Short (University of North Dakota) are recognized leaders in the field, and the journal’s editorial board represents leading institutions in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. The single destination for all imagery-related research in sports and in physical activity, the Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is an indispensable tool for scholars and practitioners of imagery, sports science, kinesiology, physical education, and psychology Criteria for publication will include: - Outstanding quality; likely to be widely read and highly cited; - Relevance to the area; - Contribution to the advancement of imagery research; - Interest to specialists in the field and accessible to researchers with interests outside the immediate topic of the paper; - Readability and presentation.
