In this study, we investigated this phenomenon using a simple reciprocating movement of the body in a laboratory setting. Synchronization was examined from the relative phase values obtained from the normalized time-series coordinate data of the two participants who engaged in periodic movement of the arms (participating in competition with one another). The results showed that, in trials where in-phase or anti-phase synchronization occurred, three patterns emerged: the movement time (MT) of both subjects decreased, the MT of both subjects increased, and the MT of one subject decreased and the MT of the other subject increased. The relationship between synchronization and MT in competition, as shown by the results, is not uniform and has not yet been clarified; however, it shows that synchronization occurs between two subjects in competition, despite being thought to move independently.","PeriodicalId":257319,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Sport Psychology","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129322397","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}

However, it is unclear how such excellent implicit pattern perception is achieved. Therefore, in this study, we examined the possibility that soccer players with excellent implicit pattern perception emotionally process scenes with an unmarked player around the goal. Twenty-eight skilled soccer players performed a task based on the backward-masking paradigm used by Murakawa et al. (2020) to assess the accuracy of implicit pattern perception for soccer 3-on-3 scenes around the goal. Eleven of the 28 participants performed the task newly and for 17 individuals, the data of Murakawa et al. (2020) were reused. In addition, using a subliminal priming task, we evaluated participants ʼ impressions (pleasant/unpleasant) about a target stimulus (Arabic) that was presented following implicitly perceived images of a 3-versus-3 scene (goal/free condition, goal/no-free condition, no-goal/free condition, no-goal/no-free condition) around the goal. Under the goal/free condition, offensive players with high accuracy of implicit pattern perception were biased toward pleasant, and defensive players were biased toward unpleasant. On the other hand, no such bias was observed under the no-goal/no-free condition. Thus, this suggests that players with better implicit pattern perception perform emotional perceptual processing of environmental information based on the emotional value arising from his/her knowledge base. It is significant that our study is the first to provide evidence for the relationship between emotional processing and implicit pattern perception, involved in superior decision-making in soccer.","PeriodicalId":257319,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Sport Psychology","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130748304","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 data were analyzed, and results of cross-lagged effect analysis using structural equation modeling indicated positive correlations from competence to future competence and from prosociality to future prosociality, regardless of parenting attitudes. Moreover, prosociality was able to positively predict future competence under autonomy-supportive parenting, which was defined as parenting attitudes of leaving choices and judgments to the children while the parents focus on watching over the children, which was not the case under parent-centered parenting, which was defined as parenting attitudes opposite to that of autonomy-supportive parenting. The above results suggest that soccer competence can be improved as a result of prosociality, as well as by autonomy-supportive parenting attitudes at home as a background factor. It is considered important to maintain warm and consistent parenting attitudes for encouraging children’s development as a part of the parental role of supporting the healthy development of children from childhood to adolescence through sports activities. Moreover, the necessity for conducting longitudinal studies to clarify the above process is discussed.","PeriodicalId":257319,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Sport Psychology","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126655967","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}

To this end, we examined whether the accuracy of implicit pattern-perception of soccer-specific scene differ depending on the soccer player ʼ s decision-making ability (Experiment 1) and the influence of the implicitly perceived information on decision-making (Experiment 2). Three coaches classified 30 participants into three groups based on their decision-making ability (high, medium and low). In Experiment 1, images of the soccer scene (3 vs. 3) were presented under five conditions of varying durations (from 17 to 85ms) using a backward-masking method that induces implicit perception. Participants ʼ degree of consciousness to the stimulus was assessed by asking them to indicate the positions of unmarked players (right, left, center, or none), and report their confidence in their response (25% to 100%). Results showed that in the 34ms condition, the correct answers of the high and medium groups were significantly higher than the chance level even though the confidence was only around 25%. In Experiment 2, after presentation of the prime stimuli used in Experiment 1 (17, 34, 85ms), 3 vs. 3 scenes (target stimuli) were presented again until a decision was made. The target stimuli were presented in a congruent or an incongruent manner. The participants also indicated the unmarked player ʼ s position in the target stimulus by pressing a button. Here, in the 34ms condition, the difference in the reaction time between congruent and incongruent stimuli was significantly larger only in the high group.

To this end, we examined both the listening behavior in the mathematics class and cooperative behavior while playing tag in the physical education class of 33 children in the 1 st grade of elementary school. The tag game consisted of two defenders against three attackers. The listening behavior in the classroom was considered as the behavior of empathy, and evaluated by two researchers using video analysis of children’s gaze direction and postural stability while seated in the chair in the classroom. The loss scores in the tag game were regarded as cooperative skills of two defenders. As a case study, the movements of two different dyads in the tag game who showed different listening behaviors in the classroom were also recorded and analyzed. The authors also analyzed the movement of the players and the interpersonal distance between defenders and between attackers and defenders. Results revealed that there was a significant positive correlation between the listening and cooperative behaviors. This finding suggests that the dyads of children who had better listening behavior, that is, keeping the gaze directed at speakers and stable posture in the classroom, had lost fewer scores in the tag game. The case study of the tag games revealed that the dyads of children who had better listening behavior could maintain interpersonal distance between defenders, even if the number of attackers were more than that of defenders. On the other hand, the dyads of defenders who had poor listening behavior could not maintain interpersonal distance among themselves because they did not pay attention to other defenders ʼ movements. However, although the dyads with poor listening scored low in some games, they could show high cooperative skills in the tag game. The results suggest that the task constraints of the tag game led to cooperative skill; such task constraints in physical education could facilitate shared intention among children, which could be generalized to the development of empathy.","PeriodicalId":257319,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Sport Psychology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130396028","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}

Female college student-athletes (N=243) completed questionnaires assessing perceived controlling coach behaviors, as well as their motivation (intrinsic motivation and amotivation) and perceptions of psychological need satisfaction and frustration. Structural equation modeling indicated support for a mediational effect.

In Experiment 1, the effects of the visual presentation (i.e., real wall and monitor wall conditions) and the route type (i.e., easy, difficult, and impossible conditions) of the climbing route were examined. In Experiment 2, using a real wall, the effects of action (i.e., “with” actual moves usually used to climb and “without” moves during a given observation time) and the route type (i.e., possible and impossible) of the climbing route were examined. In those experiments, participants were asked to subtract numbers as a distraction task just after the observation of the route. They were then asked to recall the route by reporting the holds they memorized. The results showed an effect for the route type, that is, the participants showed a higher score in the easy route than in the difficult and impossible routes, particularly for the real wall condition (Experiment 1). The recall performance for the real climbing route appeared to be independent from the action ( “with” and “without” ), but the recall was modulated by the route type, namely a higher score was shown in the possible route than in the impossible route (Experiment 2). These findings imply that participants might maintain a certain representation of a given route in their memory, such as the route difficulty or the possibility to move, particularly if they observed a real wall.","PeriodicalId":257319,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Sport Psychology","volume":"252 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122492015","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}
