What Goes around Comes around: Re-Emerging Themes in Sport and Exercise Psychology
Weiss, Maureen R.; Gill, Diane L.
Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, v76 n2 pS71-S87 Jun 2005
Sport and exercise psychology research appearing in Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport (RQES) over the past 75 years can be characterized by re-emerging themes--hot topics in the 1930s remain hot topics now. Re-emerging themes include sportsmanship/moral development, social development/significant others, self-perceptions, attitudes/motivation, modeling/observational learning, emotion/arousal/anxiety, competition/achievement orientations, and gender roles. Although research paradigms and methodologies have changed, these topics have endured. This article has also identified dominant emergent themes appearing in RQES over the last 25 years: measurement development and validation; physical activity adoption and adherence; and multidisciplinary approaches to psychological issues. Given the many specialty journals and trends toward integrating models and methods from multiple disciplines, the authors suggest that RQES adopt a multidisciplinary focus for research in the field of kinesiology.
