  • Consumer Motivation, Spectatorship Experience and the Degree of Overlap Between Traditional Sport and Esport.”
    COMPETITIVE SPORT IN WEB 2.0: CONSUMER MOTIVATION, SPECTATORSHIP EXPERIENCE, AND THE DEGREE OF OVERLAP BETWEEN TRADITIONAL SPORT AND ESPORT by JUE HOU ANDREW C. BILLINGS, COMMITTEE CHAIR CORY L. ARMSTRONG KENON A. BROWN JAMES D. LEEPER BRETT I. SHERRICK A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Journalism and Creative Media in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2019 Copyright Jue Hou 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT In the 21st Century, eSport has gradually come into public sight as a new form of competitive spectator event. This type of modern competitive video gaming resembles the field of traditional sport in multiple ways, including players, leagues, tournaments and corporate sponsorship, etc. Nevertheless, academic discussion regarding the current treatment, benefit, and risk of eSport are still ongoing. This research project examined the status quo of the rising eSport field. Based on a detailed introduction of competitive video gaming history as well as an in-depth analysis of factors that constitute a sport, this study redefined eSport as a unique form of video game competition. From the theoretical perspective of uses and gratifications, this project focused on how eSport is similar to, or different from, traditional sports in terms of spectator motivations. The current study incorporated a number of previously validated-scales in sport literature and generated two surveys, and got 536 and 530 respondents respectively. This study then utilized the data and constructed the motivation scale for eSport spectatorship consumption (MSESC) through structural equation modeling.

  • The Sport Psychiatrist and Golf

The sport psychiatrist knowledge- able in the game of golf is well-positioned to consult to competitive G golfers. Golf is the only sport in which practice and competition take place in different environments: the practice range and the golf course. Addi- tionally, no other sport has world-class, top-30 players ranging in age from 19 (Sergio Garcia, 1999) to 50 ( Jay Haas, 2005). This broad age range speaks to the fact that aging world-class golfers can compensate for physical deterioration with mental maturation. Most significant, however, and warranting the authors’ discussion here, are issues of time management. The sport of golf is uniquely challenging because its duration, interrupted pace of play, and excessive amount of idle time make the competitor vulnerable to external and internal distracters [1,2]. A golf round of 18 holes takes 4 to 5 hours to play, weather permitting. A golf swing lasts only about 3 seconds; thus the professional player swings the club for a total of about 3 1/2 minutes in an entire 4 1/2-hour round! The pre-shot routine takes about 30 seconds, resulting in the professional golfer having greater than 3 1/2 hours of idle time during the heat of competition.

Therefore, this study ex- 16 plored the cognitions of seven professional snooker players during real-time solo practice 17 performance. Design: A Think Aloud (TA) protocol analysis. Method: This involved players 18 verbalizing and explaining their thoughts within naturalistic practice environments. Player’s 19 verbalizations were recorded during each solo practice performance, transcribed verbatim, 20 and analyzed via protocol analysis. Results: Analyses revealed an array of continuous reac- 21 tive-adaptive cognitions relating to stressors and coping strategies during performance, as 22 well as general snooker-specific related thoughts. Specifically, the results highlighted key 23 stressor themes which were coded as: Table Conditions, Distractions, and Mistakes. Our 24 main finding was: Shot Preparation being essential to problem-focused coping, with Ration- 25 alizing integral to emotion-focused coping. Further results highlighted the visualperceptual 26 and cognitive expertise of players, with regards to identification of problem balls and cueball 27 spatial awareness, insofar as unearthing the deliberate structure to practice routines.

Eleven intermediate golfers (10 males, 1 female, aged 23-50 4 years; M = 34.6; SD = 8.9) with handicaps between 6 and 18 (M = 10.91; SD = 3.98), completed 5 phenomenological interviews which explored the perceived psychological impact of their choking 6 episode(s). While the reported short-term consequences were negative (i.e., collapse in performance 7 standards, limited attention/emotional control and negative affect), most participants considered the 8 long-term impact of choking was constructive, for it encouraged adversity-related growth. 9 However, a small number of golfers identified the long-term consequences were highly destructive, 10 including a loss of self-confidence, withdrawal from the sport, and in one case, lowered self-worth. 11 The findings of the study extend the choking literature by informing strategies that can be used to 12 encourage constructive, rather than destructive consequences from any choking episode that 13 athletes may experience.

  • Mindfulness in Sport: a Proposed Intervention for Choking Susceptible Athletes
    ABSTRACT MINDFULNESS IN SPORT: A PROPOSED INTERVENTION FOR CHOKING SUSCEPTIBLE ATHLETES by Jenna Kaitlin Hussey Although antecedents of choking under pressure have been studied, prevention efforts have been unsuccessful. Current choking susceptibility (CS) criteria includes trait anxiety (TA), self- consciousness (SC), and coping style. This study implemented a sport specific mindfulness (MF) intervention to reduce levels of TA, SC, and alter coping to reduce CS. Two CS athletes completed the 6 week Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement (MSPE) program. Anxiety direction, trait, and state MF were assessed throughout the program, with a follow-up 5-6 weeks post intervention to gain further insight into the continuing effects of the MF training. Visual analysis demonstrated increases in MF levels, and changes in TA, SC and coping, resulting in both participants failing to meet the CS criteria post-intervention, inferring a reduced likelihood of choking in future performances. Enhanced MF levels promoted greater awareness and acceptance, along with anxiety directional changes, which may help counter the negative effects of stressful sport performances.

CHOKING UNDER PRESSURE 3 The Contributions of Body Awareness to “Choking under Pressure” Authors: Wagner Larson, Cody Larson Faculty Sponsor: Tyler Miller, Ph. D. Department: Psychology Abstract “Choking under pressure” is a well-known phenomenon that occurs when performance is negatively affected because of perceived pressure. Many researchers have studied this topic, mainly verifying the key theories involved: the explicit monitoring theory and distraction theory. The current study adds to the literature by measuring the contributions of body-awareness to choking under pressure. Research on the concept of overthinking body movements supports the hypothesis that the more self-aware individuals are of their bodies, the more they are subject to choking in a high pressure situation.
