“…, think aloud protocols (Oliver et al, 2020), and electronic activated recorders (e.g. Herbison et al, 2020) Turning our attention to coping, one of the most recent criticisms of the intentionfunction categorization system is that it lacks practical significance (Didymus, 2017) and, thus, a growing number of researchers have embraced coping families as a more adaptative view of coping (e.g. Baldock et al, 2021;Didymus, 2017;Potts et al, 2019).…”

Research on organizational stress in sport has expanded within recent decades. Despite voluminous literature, no systematic reviews exist to congregate findings in a single, rigorous point of reference. Filling this void helps researchers and practitioners to understand organizational stress and its implications for health, well-being, and performance. The objectives of this study were to search for, appraise, and critically synthesize the literature on organizational stress (i.e. stressors, appraisals, coping, emotions) and or well-being within the context of organizational stress in competitive sport, with the intention of progressing conceptual, methodological, and applied understanding. A systematic review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines and robust searches of PsycArticles, PsycInfo, and SPORTDiscus databases. The final sample comprised 55 methodologically sound studies with athletes, coaches, and or support staff. Findings revealed a myriad of organizational stressors, underpinned by a range of situational properties, and managed using various coping options (e.g. problem solving). Appraisals, emotions, and well-being received scant attention in the context of organizational stress. Experiences of organizational stress among athletes, coaches, and support staff have highlighted implications for healthand performance-related outcomes. Future research should consider longitudinal, diary, integrative designs, and analytical pluralism within under-represented populations (e.g. coaches, support staff) to deepen our understanding.

“…Research would benefit from employing methods that either directly measure coach perspectives or behaviours (e.g. Herbison et al, 2021) to test the agreement between coach behaviours and athlete leadership perceptions and subsequently, develop a more all‐encompassing perspective of the relationship of interest (Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Lee, & Podsakoff, 2003). Third, we did not assess coach gender as a variable and therefore, could not analyze the match or mismatch of gender between coaches and athletes.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the relationship between coach leadership and athlete motivation was moderated by age, gender, competition level, and seasons spent with a coach. This study involved data from two previous studies that explored this relationship yet provides a novel perspective through the lens of important moderators. Three-hundred and three athletes (M age = 17.6 years; SD = 3.20; 49.7% women and 50.3% men) responded to questionnaires pertaining to their coaches' leadership behaviours and their own sport motivation. Multiple regression analyses using moderators were conducted. Age, competition level, and seasons spent with the coach significantly moderated the relationships of interest. Coach transformational leadership predicted intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to a greater extent when athletes were younger than 20.8 and 18.2 years of age, respectively. Further, coach transactional leadership predicted intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to a greater extent when athletes had trained for more than two seasons with their coach. Results emphasize the need to consider athlete characteristics from both research and practitioner perspectives. Herein, we advocate for increased awareness amongst key sport stakeholders on the influence that a coach can have on younger athletes' motivation and the importance of developing coach-athlete relationships over time.

“…Coding systems can be developed and adapted to address a particular study's research questions. For example, EAR research has examined who gossips and how in daily life (Robbins & Karan, 2020), the cross-context consistency of student conversations (Mehl & Pennebaker, 2003), cross-cultural comparisons of sociability (Ramírez-Esparza et al, 2009), cancer-and non-cancer-related conversations among couples coping with breast cancer (Robbins et al, 2014(Robbins et al, , 2018, athlete-parent-coach interactions (Herbison et al, 2021), and the link between interpersonal conflict and asthma symptoms among children (Tobin et al, 2015). Kaplan et al (2020) provide a thorough review of the challenges with and best practices for processing EAR data.…”

Though naturalistic observation methods are lauded for their utility, they are often neglected in social and personality psychology research. This paper describes evidence of the absence of naturalistic observation methods in our field, and some historical roots of this methodological imbalance in social/personality (SP) psychology. The paper then provides an overview of existing naturalistic observation methods relevant to SP psychology, describes various types of barriers to conducting such research, and concludes with recommendations for overcoming these barriers to produce a more well‐rounded science. It is time to rebalance SP psychological methods by valuing and investing in naturalistic observation research.
