“…In fact, USWNT stories received far more coverage ( n = 396) than any other sport on the 491 American front pages analyzed (the next sport is male baseball with 118 stories across all levels). Regarding salience, the quality of representation is evident in the amount of front-page space allocated to the story in content as well as number and size of photographs, which is a prominent form of media framing of sports (Hall & Ogelsby, 2016). This research also supports recent studies that indicate increased representation of women’s sports in international competition (Billings et al, 2014; Coche & Tuggle, 2016; MacArthur et al, 2016) and provides a solid example beyond the Olympics.…”

“…The World Cup provides a more significant example specific to team sports, as the United States women’s national team (USWNT) is credited with the rise in soccer’s popularity after winning their second World Cup in 1999 (Christopherson, Janning, & McConnell, 2002)—and their third victory in 2015 created the same effect (Burch, Billings, & Zimmerman, 2017). Despite a New York ticker tape parade and individualized covers on Sports Illustrated , however, the women’s team received only US$2 million from FIFA, which paled in comparison to the men’s champion payout of US$35 million (Hall & Ogelsby, 2016).…”

The 2015 Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Women’s World Cup final, won by the United States women’s national team (USWNT), was the most-watched soccer match (men or women) in U.S. history. This quantitative content analysis examined 491 American newspaper front pages published on July 6, 2015, the day after the USWNT win. Results discuss newspapers that placed the story on their front pages (81%) and those that didn’t (19%). The significant coverage of the victory indicates a small step toward improvement of a stereotypical (lack of) media representation for female athletes. However, newspapers that omitted USWNT coverage are remnants of what scholarly literature pointed toward for years: Media put more emphasis on men’s sports, regardless of level of play, than they do on women’s sports.

“…Oglesby, Krane, and most SEP scholars have moved beyond sex differences and roles, recognizing that people have multiple, intersecting identities and that identities and relationships involve power or privilege. Ruth Hall (2001;Hall & Oglesby, 2016) has been a strong voice for women of color, and Leeja Carter's (2020) recent edited book features the voices of several diverse feminist SEP scholars and professionals.…”

As part of the 40th anniversary of the publication of Brooks’s (1981) Perspectives on the Academic Discipline of Physical Education, the authors offer an update on the Sport Psychology chapter, including key developments, topics, and issues in sport and exercise psychology. They begin with an overview of the 1981 chapter and state of sport psychology as described during that time. Then, in the main part of the article, they go through each of the main topics as presented in the 1981 chapter—highlighting what’s gone, what’s stayed, what’s changed, and what’s new. In the final section, they discuss the current state of sport and exercise psychology and end with their aspirations for sport and exercise psychology.

“…In recent years, researchers have been interested in the behavior and characteristics of both genders in the sport, as can be observed in multiple investigations (Hall and Oglesby, 2016; Schwesig et al, 2016; Gregg and Gregg, 2017). The advancement of female in sports has increased the number of studies carried out on women, finding jobs related to physiology, technical skills, or the psychology of sport (Eys et al, 2015; Kozina et al, 2016; Gross et al, 2018).…”

Data Mining in the Mixed Methods: Application to the Study of the Psychological Profiles of Athletes

et al. 2019

Data mining is seen as a set of techniques and technologies allowing to extract, automatically or semi-automatically, a lot of useful information, models, and tendencies from a big set of data. Techniques like “clustering,” “classification,” “association,” and “regression”; statistics and Bayesian calculations; or intelligent artificial algorithms like neural networks will be used to extract patterns from data, and the main goal to achieve those patterns will be to explain and to predict their behavior. So, data are the source that becomes relevant information. Research data are gathered as numbers (quantitative data) as well as symbolic values (qualitative data). Useful knowledge is extracted (mined) from a huge amount of data. Such kind of knowledge will allow setting relationships among attributes or data sets, clustering similar data, classifying attribute relationships, and showing information that could be hidden or lost in a vast quantity of data when data mining is not used. Combination of quantitative and qualitative data is the essence of mixed methods: on one hand, a coherent integration of result data interpretation starting from separate analysis, and on the other hand, making data transformation from qualitative to quantitative and 1 vice versa. A study developed shows how data mining techniques can be a very interesting complement to mixed methods, because such techniques can work with qualitative and quantitative data together, obtaining numeric analysis from qualitative data based on Bayesian probability calculation or transforming quantitative into qualitative data using discretization techniques. As a study case, the Psychological Inventory of Sports Performance (IPED) has been mined and decision trees have been developed in order to check any relationships among the “Self-confidence” (AC), “Negative Coping Control” (CAN), “Attention Control” (CAT), “Visuoimaginative Control” (CVI), “Motivational Level” (NM), “Positive Coping Control” (CAP), and “Attitudinal Control” (CACT) factors against gender and age of athletes. These decision trees can also be used for future data predictions or assumptions.
