“…In short, when we talk about anxiety, we are referring to a negative emotional state consisting of feelings associated with nervousness, worry and apprehension, as well as with various aspects related to activation or arousal. They include a physical component (which is called somatic anxiety) and a mental component (which is called cognitive anxiety) [50]. However, through the creation of the anxiety measurement instrument that we used in this research [49], we divided cognitive anxiety into two subcomponents: one consisting of the items considered positive, which was called the state of self-confidence, and the other consisting of items with a more negative interpretation, called cognitive anxiety.…”

Research on self-efficacy, cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety provides fundamental information to early identify weak areas in the training of athletes and to implement actions that contribute to the improvement and maintenance of sporting activities. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between anxiety (somatic anxiety, cognitive anxiety and self-efficacy) and basic psychological needs (competence, autonomy and relationship with others). The sample was composed of 165 university students enrolled in courses related to physical activity and sport sciences, with a mean age of 20.33 years (SD = 3.44), studying in a Spanish public university located in Almeria, in the southeast of Spain (Andalusia). The main findings showed the existence of a continuous and effective relationship between self-efficacy and basic psychological needs. While there was no positive and direct relationship between cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety and autonomy, there was a direct and positive relationship between cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety and competence and the relationship with others. Therefore, the results obtained showed that a more positive form of motivation would be autonomous motivation, as it helps to interpret the perception of self-efficacy, favoring performance in competition, whereas controlled motivation has the opposite effect. The importance of this research resides in the fact that it shows that within the sports field, an athlete’s self-perception has an indirect negative effect on pre-competitive somatic anxiety, and the link in this relationship is task orientation and the absence of demotivation towards sport. Despite this, the same effect on cognitive anxiety was not produced.

“…In sports contexts, the emotional evaluation and understanding of others is not only directly related to one’s own emotions, but also to the understanding of the team’s emotions ( Acebes et al, 2021b ; Rubio et al, 2022 ). Evaluating the emotions of others is the ability to read and infer the mood of others and further emotional resonance.…”

ObjectiveTo revise and test the Chinese version of the Sports Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS) in sports situations.Materials and methodsAfter pretesting 112 college students, 832 college students were formally tested, and item analysis, validity test, internal consistency reliability analysis, and calibration validity and equivalence test of the Chinese version of the SEIS were performed. The Chinese version of the SEIS had 14 items with four dimensions (evaluation of others’ emotions, self-emotional management, emotion use, and social skills), with a cumulative variance contribution of 57.812 percent; the four-factor measurement model fit well (χ2/df = 3.743, NFI = 0.917, GFI = 0.945, AFGI = 0.913, CFI = 0.926, and RMSEA = 0.062). The internal consistency coefficients (Cronbach’s α) of the Chinese version of the SEIS ranged from 0.824 to 0. 905, and the split-half reliability ranged from 0.807 to 0.891; the correlations between the total SEIS score and its dimensional scores and the calibration variables were significantly correlated (p < 0.05), ranging from 0.255 to 0.603. The gender measure equivalence test was valid, and the mean difference of potential variables across gender groups was not significant in the potential mean analysis.ConclusionThe Chinese version of the SEIS has good reliability and validity, and it is appropriate for assessing emotional intelligence in sports situations.

“…Self-regulation can be defined as the capacity to control or redirect disruptive impulses and emotions; disposition to delay judgement and reflect before acting (Goleman, 2004). Emotional regulation involves recording, analyzing, and reflecting on one's emotions in order to maximize their interpersonal and intrapersonal value (Rubio, Ángel, Esteban & Ruiz, 2022). Self-regulation is the capacity to alter one's behaviour (Baumeister & Vohs, 2007).…”

The capacity to establish outcomes while simultaneously exchange and sharing in putting their skills to use to achieve those outcomes is an essential component of good leadership. The finest leaders know their followers inside and out, and they focus more on the positive aspects of their followers than they do on their shortcomings. Magnificent leaders aren't oblivious to their own or others' shortcomings; rather, leaders are confident in the knowledge that their strengths give them a competitive advantage. As a result of this, the purpose of this study is to construct a framework on the effectiveness of leadership through the measurement of five (5) dimensions of emotional intelligence. These dimensions include self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. The following aims are illustrated for a better understanding of the study, which seeks to comprehend the notion of leadership and its behavior in order to obtain effectiveness in the education business. Obviously, the researcher wishes to comprehend the concept of emotional intelligence in order to contribute to the advancement of knowledge by utilizing Process Leadership Theory as well as the overarching theoretical framework for this investigation. The discussion in this study indirectly strengthens the leadership qualities of Chinese school principals. The authority of the education system and administration will benefit from this study by gaining an understanding of the competency of each school's principal and being able to use this information into training and competency modules.
