Qualitative researchers suggest that inconsistent effectiveness of interventions may be linked to an incomplete understanding of the nature of and factors influencing sedentary behaviour in the workplace. Therefore, this study’s aim was to use the COM-B model of behaviour, complimented by the Theoretical Domains Framework, to examine how Capability, Opportunity and Motivation influences sitting behaviour at work in office workers. The study was a qualitative phenomenological analysis in which office workers (n=10) who had predominantly desk-based jobs were interviewed about their sitting behaviour at work. Interview analysis using the Nvivo 10 programme and the Framework Method identified themes and quantified the prevalence of each theme across participants. The analysis incorporated a number of procedures to enhance the trustworthiness including researcher reflexive journal and coding triangulation. Physical capability had minimal influence on behaviour, but psychological capability was influential. Physical and social opportunities were influential in terms of the physical environment, nature of the job, social acceptability and norms related to sitting. Both automatic and reflective motivation emerged as being influential on sitting behaviour. To conclude, the COM-B model, complimented by the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF), facilitated understanding of factors influencing office workers’ sitting behaviour and highlighted a number of potential areas for future intervention foci.","PeriodicalId":125848,"journal":{"name":"Sport & Exercise Psychology Review","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125693455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early studies have described the end of an athletic career as a traumatic event and therefore, have mostly focused on negative outcomes. Later studies have revealed an alternative view where athletes may feel relieved from the heavy burden of their athletic commitment (e.g. Coakley, 1983; McPherson, 1984; Sinclair & Orlick, 1993). Nowadays, athletic retirement is no longer seen as a single event, but as a process-oriented transition in which a ‘whole career’ and ‘whole person’ approach is applied (Stambulova, Alfermann, Statler & Côté, 2009; Wylleman & Lavallee, 2004). Recently, there has been an increased focus on contextual factors that are related to the athlete’s career development and transitions. These factors have been studied at the meso-level (i.e. talent development environment; Henriksen, Stambulova & Roessler, 2010) and at the macro-level (i.e. nation/culture and sports system; Kuettel, Boyle & Schmid, 2017; Park & Lavallee, 2015; Stambulova, Stephan & Jäphag, 2007; Tshube & Feltz, 2015). Furthermore, comparative studies have shown that applying a cultural-sensitive approach can help to increase the knowledge about the influence of the context on the transition process of elite athletes (Si & Lee, 2007; Stambulova & Ryba, 2013, 2014). In this paper, we, the authors intend to contribute to a better understanding of the contextual influence on athletic retirement by examining and comparing the transition out of elite sport for former Swiss, Danish, and Polish athletes.","PeriodicalId":125848,"journal":{"name":"Sport & Exercise Psychology Review","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132915947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The City Player Advanced Safety and Support (City PASS) framework incorporates team psychological formulation to identify concerns about players (wellbeing, behavioural and performance) and share key information to develop a collective understanding of these concerns. This new knowledge is then used to develop action plans to manage these concerns. A common thread that emerged from City PASS panel reviews during the first six months concerned adolescent players displaying challenging behaviours. These challenging player behaviours were often considered to be fronts of ‘bravado’ that obscured the true underlying issues faced by the young person. Consequently, an intervention around equipping staff to recognise and manage the ‘Boy behind the bravado’, or the boy before the elite performer, through improved perspective-taking, was introduced to illustrate how insights gained from City PASS can be used to enhance player safety and support within a professional football academy setting.","PeriodicalId":125848,"journal":{"name":"Sport & Exercise Psychology Review","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121443690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The following hypothesis was tested: An SMM is directly and negatively associated with social loafing; athletes’ perceived SMMs are positively related to role clarity and team identification, which in turn is negatively related to social loafing. In total, 152 male professional senior players from all 10 teams in an elite ice hockey league participated. Data were analysed using a linear regression procedure and bias-corrected bootstrapping technique to measure indirect effects. The results confirm the hypothesis and demonstrate that SMMs have an indirect effect through the mediators. Coaches and sport psychologists should be aware of the significance of SMMs in their work to enhance team performance. Facilitating SMMs may reduce social loafing through role clarity and team identification.","PeriodicalId":125848,"journal":{"name":"Sport & Exercise Psychology Review","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130774377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
