“…This was especially true for the MSRS because it is answered on a 6-point Likert-scale, and in this case a ''practically important difference'' (Nevill et al, 2001, p. 275) might not be in the range ±1 points like it is for a 5-point Likert-scale. In line with the work of other authors (Conroy & Metzler, 2003;Uphill et al, 2012) pointing out that ''appropriate reference values may vary for different ranges of response scales'', we argue that for a 6-point Likert-scale the reference frame might be bigger, e.g. ±1.2 points, which would result in an even higher percentage of participants included in the range supposed to reflect test-retest reliability.…”

“…As a guideline to interpret these results, Nevill et al (2001) argue that test-retest reliability is achieved when most participants (90%) record differences between test and retest within ±1 point. However, several authors argue that the cut-off value of 90% is arbitrary (Conroy & Metzler, 2003;Lane, Nevill, Bowes, & Fox, 2005;Uphill, Lane, & Jones, 2012). This might also be a reason why this test has rarely been applied so far (Drust, Atkinson, & Reilly, 2007).…”

“…For example, it might be speculated that athletes who often reappraise the significance of events (cf. Uphill, Lane, & Jones, 2012) may be more likely to exhibit challenge than threat. Similarly, understanding athletes' experience of challenge and threat is important practically, particularly if CV indices of challenge and threat do not always reliably influence performance (Turner et al, 2013).…”

This paper outlines the development and preliminary validation of a sport-specific measure of athletes' experience of challenge and threat. Three independent studies assess the content validity, factor structure, criterion validity and internal consistency of the Challenge and Threat in Sport (CAT-Sport) Scale. In study 1, a group of 25 athletes and 2 experts assessed the content validity of items derived from existing measures of challenge and threat. Participants examined a pool of 25 items, and were asked to rate the items' applicability to their experiences of challenge and threat in sport. Items failing to reach applicability of 50% were excluded from further analysis. In study 2, 197 runners completed the 21 items retained from study 1 before competition. A principal components analysis with an oblique, direct oblimin rotation yielded a 12-item, two-component solution with items indicative of athletes' experiences of challenge and threat. In study 3, 201 shooters completed the 12-item CAT-Sport before competition. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that a 12-item 2-factor correlated model provided acceptable model fit with good internal consistency and criterion validity. Collectively these studies provide support for the CAT-Sport as a measure of athletes' experience of challenge and threat in anticipation of sport competition.

“…Consequently, the ability to regulate emotions successfully is regarded by many as an important psychological skill in athletes. Although most humans are able to recognize, and report the experience of a variety of emotions, because emotion is a term derived from everyday language, identifying the necessary and sufficient conditions for something to qualify as an emotion has been plagued with difficulty (4).…”

Today, researchers consider sports as one of the methods of reinforcement in the development of psychological parameters. The aim of the present study was to compare the alexithymia and its components, in athletes and non-athletic adolescents. Its components consist of difficulty in identifying feelings (DIF), difficulty in describing feelings (DDF), and externally oriented thinking (EOT). The statistical sample of the research included 100 athlete students and 100 nonathlete students, who were selected using multistage cluster sampling. They were asked to fill out the Farsi version of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20. The obtained results showed that there were significant differences in the mean scores of the alexithymia and its three components: difficulty in identifying feelings, difficulty in describing and externally oriented thinking in both groups (P = 0.001, P = 0.001, P = 0.001 and P = 0.008, respectively). The results revealed that athletic students had less emotional problems than non-athlete students; it is recommended that physical activity be part of the strategies to improve emotional health among non-athletic students.
