“…Then asked participant to use self-talk cue when ‘ready’ appears in every trial. Motivational self-talk group used ‘I can’ or ‘I can do it’ which are commonly used in previously research [ 31 , 40 ]. There are no references about the instructional self-talk cue on the antisaccade task.…”

Inhibition is the key factor of attentional control (AC). Basketball players are typically exposed to noise from the audience or opposing teams while competing. These distractions disrupt the attentional systems, ultimately compromise the athletes’ inhibition ability and directly affect their performance on the court. Hence, effective AC strategies are crucial. Two studies were demonstrated to investigate the effects of noise distractions on attentional control and the moderating effect of self-talk. In Study 1, 36 participants undertook the Stroop task, showing an increased error rate with noise distraction. Thirty-nine national second-level basketball players participated in Study 2, where they engaged in the Antisaccade task under both quiet and noise-distraction conditions, employing different self-talk strategies. Results showed that instructional self-talk reduced the antisaccade error rate in quiet conditions, while motivational self-talk increased the error rate under noise distractions. These findings suggests that noise distraction reduces AC. In competition scenarios, basketball players are required to appropriately implement self-talk strategies to improve AC and prevent potential counterproductive effects.

“…Besides the other mentioned mental strategies to overcome stress and anxiety, self-talk is one effective technique used by athletes to overcome levels of anxiety (Gholamreza, Aziz & Jafarzadeh, 2016, as cited in [45]) and to boost self-confidence [46]. Self-talk is a self-regulative technique in which people talk to themselves to control and manage their thougths [47].…”

Firefighters have to perform in high demanding environments, which require the ability to cope with stress. Research has shown that performance as well as stress reduction is affected by mental preparation strategies such visual imagery, activation, self-confidence, attentional control, relaxation, goal setting and self-talk. The outcome of mental preparation strategies is a psychological state called 'mental readiness'. Mental readiness emerged from sport psychology and was found to be important for performance improvements of top athletes. However, until now mental readiness has never been used to predict firefighter performance. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between mental readiness dimensions and perceived stress, success and task performance of firefighters. A sample of 68 firefighters was surveyed. The mental readiness dimensions as well as performance and stress issues were measured with the Mental Readiness Scale (MRS). Correlations and multiple regression analyses showed mixed results. Some scales like self-talk and goal setting did not significantly correlate with performance, success or stress of firefighters, whereas other sub scales such as visual imagery, activation and attentional control showed medium to large effects. The results reveal that firefighters benefit differently from the specific mental preparation strategies. Some strategies help firefighters to cope with stress. Other strategies seem to improve task performance and success. The results can be used to design evidence-based mental training programs to improve firefighter's performance and stress reduction.

This study aims to determine the level of effectiveness of Mental Practice interventions to reduce anxiety. In this case, a review was carried out to 17 journals related to Mental Practice (Relaxation, Imagery, and Self Talk) with a total number of 1054 participants; 521 people in the Experiment group, and 533 people in the Control group. Data processing is based on the number of sample size (N), mean (M), and standard deviation (SD), and by using the Random Effect Model criteria, the result of Hedges g is 1.19. From the result, it can be concluded that Mental Practice has a great effect in reducing someone's anxiety.
