Participants were 429 adolescent golfers (Males = 203, Females = 226) who were registered with the Korean Sport and Olympic Committee and who completed surveys measuring these constructs. To verify the structural validity of the measurement tools, descriptive statistics, inference analysis, correlational analysis, structural equation modeling, and confirmatory factor analysis were employed. Also, in structural equation modeling, we examined the mediating effect of satisfying psychological needs in the relationship between parent-initiated motivational climate and flow state. Results showed that these participants' perceptions of their task-involved, parent-initiated motivational climate was positively related to their perceptions of their basic psychological needs. Basic psychological needs were significantly and positively related to flow. However, perceived parent-initiated motivational climate was not significantly related to flow. Therefore, athletes' perception of their basic psychological needs completely mediated the relationship between parent-initiated motivational climate and flow. The task-involved, parent-initiated motivational climate perceived by adolescent golf athletes predicted their increased self-report of flow through satisfaction of basic psychological needs. The analysis verified that adolescent golfers' perceptions of a task-involved, parent-initiated motivational climate may have contributed to achieving perceived flow and, presumably, peak performance. Consequently, these findings highlight the crucial role of parental involvement in creating an optimal environment for young athletes' performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":19869,"journal":{"name":"Perceptual and Motor Skills","volume":" ","pages":"315125251336272"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144010549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifteen male runners (<i>M</i> age = 34.27, <i>SD</i> = 6.91 years) first performed a maximal treadmill test to determine the speed of a standard exercise bout for the JND trials.

In the Ganzfeld condition, individuals experienced increased conversion and decreased depersonalization when red light and white noise were used as stimuli.

This study examined the temporal effects of emotional and cognitive changes on aesthetic evaluation from multiple perspectives by measuring the ratings of each section of haiku, continuous emotional reports, and physiological changes in pupil diameter. The 112 students first rated the haiku at three time points on items such as beauty, valence, and ambiguity. Next, they rated the same haiku continuously for 20 seconds using a joystick for valence and arousal during which the pupil diameter was measured. The results showed that a decrease in negative emotions and ambiguity explained the beauty of the haiku. In the continuous emotion reports, positive emotions gradually increased for positive haiku and negative emotions gradually increased for negative haiku, while arousal decreased once and then gradually increased for both forms of haiku. Additionally, an increase in pupil diameter also explained the beauty. The roles of negative emotions and ambiguity were revealed by focusing on both subjective and physiological indicators of emotional and cognitive changes during haiku appreciation.
