“…This was an important step as two of the five review aims related to empirical findings. An interpretative approach was taken, in which findings of the included studies were filtered according to the conceptual assumptions and methods adopted (Drisko, 2019).…”

Improved performance under pressure in sport and exercise has been termed clutch performance. The aim of this study was to systematically review, synthesise, and evaluate existing research on clutch performance. Specifically, this review explored: (i) research designs used to examine clutch performance; (ii) definitions of clutch performance; (iii) theoretical frameworks underlying clutch performance; (iv) how clutch performance has been measured; (v) the level of supporting evidence for clutch performance; and, (vi) evidence regarding how clutch performances occur. Ten electronic databases were searched in October 2019, with 27 studies found to meet the eligibility criteria included in the review. The results indicate that there is considerable definitional, conceptual, and measurement heterogeneity in the field of clutch performance. Multiple, conflicting definitions of clutch performance were identified in the literature, which consequently led to the adoption of two distinct approaches to examining clutch performance as: (i) an ability; or, (ii) an isolated episode of performance.These differing approaches have resulted in disparate measurement strategies, and accordingly, there was mixed evidence for the concept of clutch performance and how it occurs. In response to these issues, we propose four principles to help guide future research towards refined explanations of clutch performance.

“…This is a qualitative metasynthesis, a method used to create an interpretative synthesis of qualitative primary evidence in order to assist in making possible clinical decisions (12) . Therefore, the Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research (ENTREQ) recommendations were used to conduct the five stages (13) of the development of this review, as shown in Figure 1.…”

“…These characteristics allowed us to summarize the studies' main findings regarding their particularities and, thus, first-order concepts were identified (Figure 3). Subsequently, in an interpretative process, first-order concepts were compared and grouped, from which second-order concepts were extracted (12) . In order to construct the interpretative synthesis and understand convicts' perspectives/experiences about family relationships during the deprivation of liberty process, second-order concepts were reinterpreted in the light of a theoretical context, which allowed the elaboration of interpretative syntheses (third-order concepts) about the studied phenomenon (12) .…”

Family implications during deprivation of liberty and Attachment Theory: a qualitative metasynthesis

et al. 2022

Objectives: to synthesize evidence from qualitative studies about the implications that the deprivation of liberty process has on incarcerated adults’ family relationships. Methods: a qualitative meta-synthesis, carried out in January 2021, by searching for publications indexed in six databases. The sample consisted of 10 studies, which were analyzed by MaxQDA®, and an interpretative synthesis was performed based on Attachment Theory. Results: based on first-order concepts, it was possible to synthesize second- and third-order concepts and present them in two interpretive context units: Strategies for strengthening family ties; Relationships that contribute to breaking down family ties. It was evidenced that visits, phone calls and letters favor the strengthening of secure attachment. Final Considerations: incarceration causes consequences in tie formation, reflecting on the attachment process between family members.

“…The self-introduction question was chosen as a theme for the analysis as Hunting (2019) and Murchison (2017) noted that self-introduction is one of the important questions to commence job interviews. Li (2002), Wodak (2013) and Drisko (2019) noted that even an excerpt that is extracted from any written textual or spoken data can represent the analysis as a whole based on the objective of the study. Therefore, in the present study, only selected excerpts were used for the analysis.…”
