“…The EDRC is calculated by converting an individual's scores on these three scales into standard scores, and combining these into a single index to reflect overall eating pathology . This index was used for that explicit purpose in one study, whereas in another study the index estimated level of risk for eating pathology . Importantly, since each of the three scales is treated as a distinct construct before it is combined into the composite, it illustrates how researchers regard these scales as representing three separate but related constructs.…”

Introduction: Coping is defined as a process based on motor, behavioral, and cognitive effort to deal with the psychophysical demands that exceed an individual' s capacity. One of the instruments used most often for evaluating coping skills is the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 (ACSI-28). Objective: This study aimed to validate the Brazilian version of the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 (ACSI-28). The ACSI-28 is a multidimensional inventory developed to evaluate the different methods used by athletes to cope with sports pressure. Methods: The sample comprised 667 Brazilian athletes: male (n = 467; 70%); female (n = 200; 30%) with mean age 25 ± 5 years and eight (± 5) years of experience in individual sports (n = 182; 27.3%) or team sports (n = 485; 72.7%). Results: For construct validity, the relational structure of the items that comprise the original version of ACSI-28 was analyzed using EFA. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure (KMO = .83) and the Bartlett sphericity test (p <.0001) indicated adequate adjustment of the data to the factorial analyses. The reliability of the instrument was assessed by measuring internal consistency and by the stability of the measurement (test-retest). Conclusion: The Brazilian version of Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 was preliminarily considered valid. Level of Evidence III; Retrospective comparative study.

“…Researchers Estanol, Shepherd, and MacDonald (2013) have previously reported a mean total score of 49.34 and a standard deviation of 10.14 on the ACSI-28 for their sample of dancers (N = 205). Their sample consisted of collegiate-level ballet and modern dancers, professional dancers, and contemporary dancers.…”

“…In contrast to other coping questionnaires that are non-specific to sport (e.g., COPE;), the ACSI-28 was developed specifically for use with athletes. However, it should be noted that the instrument is not grounded in one or more theories of stress and coping (Croker, Kowalski, & Graham, 1998), but may be considered as having originated from a cognitive behavioral approach (Estanol, Shepherd, & MacDonald, 2013).…”

“…For this reason, dancers often have timelimited careers, with very few individuals performing beyond their thirties (Kelman, 2000;. Additionally, the path to artistic perfection is a never-ending process, because one's performance cannot be objectively measured by a judge or audience member Estanol, Shepherd, & MacDonald, 2013). Many dancers spend the entirety of their careers making technical and aesthetic improvements.…”

Psychological skills interventions are often conducted with individual athletes and sports teams in an effort to build mental toughness, prevent injury, or enhance performance. Dancers remain an underserved population in the delivery of sport/performance psychology services, with extremely limited literature addressing college dance students. The dance community has several inherent physical and psychosocial demands, which can promote resilience. However, dancers may also strive to meet these demands by employing unhealthy coping strategies that could be linked to maladaptive appraisals and increased injury risk. The present study examined the impact of a psychological skills intervention program on college dance students' (N = 30) coping skills, pain appraisals, and injuries over a six-week period. A two-group pre-test/post-test quasiexperimental methodology was used to capture the potential influence of the intervention program. At the end of the six-week period, there were no significant differences observed between the treatment and control groups on the three major constructs. In particular, the results demonstrated the need for a single, operational definition of injury within the dance context. A focus group discussion led to several recommendations for future research and improvements for mental skills and life skills intervention programs. Best practices for scholars, applied practitioners, and dance educators are also discussed.
