“…The result revealed that hardiness significantly predicted work engagement through regression analysis. The same finding is also supported by several other studies (e.g., Atkinson & Martin, 2019;Choi & Kang, 2012), which showed that hardiness was a predictor of work engagement. According to Maddi (2002), hardy individuals are more likely to remain engaged than be isolated from stressful circumstances.…”

Academic hardiness refers to personality characteristics that help individuals deal with academic stress and academic challenges, reducing the probability of dropping out from a program of study before graduation. A high attrition rate has a significant impact on the students' finance and well-being. This study investigates the relationships between academic hardiness with the academic locus of control (ALOC), tolerance of ambiguity, students' engagement, and automatic negative thought (ANT) among university students in Malaysia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted by recruiting 94 participants via the purposive sampling method. The participants were Malaysian university students aged 18 to 26 years (M = 21.69 years; SD = 1.90 years). Female participants (n = 58, 55.24%) were slightly more than male participants (n = 47, 44.76%) responded to this survey. The instruments used to collect the data consist of the Academic Hardiness Scale, Academic Locus of Control Scale, Tolerance of Ambiguity Scale, University Students' Engagement Inventory, and Automatic Negative Thoughts Scale. Finding revealed that ALOC was positively correlated with control, commitment, and challenge components of academic hardiness. Tolerance of ambiguity was found no significant relationship with control, commitment, and challenge components of academic hardiness. University students' engagement was positively correlated with control, commitment, and challenge components of academic hardiness. ANT was correlated negatively with control and challenge components but no significant relationship commitment components of academic hardiness. Academic hardiness was significantly predicted by ALOC, university students' engagement, and ANT, but not tolerance of ambiguity. The findings of this study would provide practical insights for university counsellors to handle Malaysian university undergraduates who wish to terminate their study prematurely. Moreover, this study provides exploratory findings on the preventative measures of improving academic hardiness among students at high risk of dropping out.

“…Both grit and self-compassion are rooted in the concept of positive psychology [ 39 ]. Athletes with high grit and self-compassion overcome obstacles, perform optimally in high-pressure environments, pursue the level of excellence and enjoy long and successful careers [ 40 , 41 ]. In important competitive events, female athletes utilized self-compassion to promote performance perceptions and wellbeing when preparing, competing and reflecting to excel in sport [ 38 ].…”

Background: Mindfulness-based interventions are well-established in the field of psychotherapy, and such interventions have also gained increased attention in the field of sport psychology, either to cope with psychological pressure or to improve an athlete’s performance. The goal of the present study was to examine whether a Mindfulness–Acceptance–Commitment (MAC) program could increase self-compassion and grit among elite female athletes compared to an active control condition. To this end, we performed a randomized trial among female adult athletes. Methods: Forty female adult athletes (Mage = 22.22, SD = 2.40) were randomly assigned either to the Mindfulness–Acceptance–Commitment group (n = 20; 7 group sessions, 60 min each) or the active control group (n = 20; 7 group sessions, 60 min each). At baseline, seven weeks later at the end of the study and again four weeks later at follow-up, participants completed a series of self-rating questionnaires on mindfulness, self-compassion and grit. Results: Dimensions of mindfulness, self-compassion and grit improved over time, but more so in the Mindfulness–Acceptance–Commitment condition compared to the active control condition. Improvements remained stable from the study end to follow-up. Conclusions: While the active control condition improved dimensions of mindfulness, self-compassion and grit among female adult athletes, improvements were much stronger in the Mindfulness–Acceptance–Commitment condition. Importantly, improvements in the Mindfulness–Acceptance–Commitment condition remained stable over a time lapse of four weeks at follow-up after study completion, suggesting that the Mindfulness–Acceptance–Commitment intervention appeared to improve cognitive–emotional learning processes.

“…Sport and recreational injury (SRI) epidemiology frequently examines differences by sex, yet there is limited population level literature (U.S. Department of Health Human Services 2010 ; Lyons et al 2019 ; Wallace et al 2020a ; Wallace et al 2020b ; Waterman et al 2012 ) outside of the sociology of sport (DeLuca 2013 ; Hermann and Vollmeyer 2016 ; Tate et al 2015 ; Slater and Tiggemann 2010 ; McHale et al 2005 ; Wiley et al 2000 ; Atkinson and Martin 2020 ) that demonstrates the regular inclusion of other social and structural determinants of health (SDOH), e.g. gender, disability, food insecurity, race, or ethnicity in data collection or as explanatory factors for SRI despite an emphasis on capturing and using factors such as gender by the US Department of Health and Human Services (Healthy People 2030 ; Institute of Medicine (US) Board on the Health of Select Populations n.d. ; Sex and Gender n.d. ).…”

The time is now: why we must identify and address health disparities in sport and recreation injury

Background Social and structural determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in which individuals are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age. These drivers of health are integral in contextualizing the understanding and prevention of sport and recreation injury (SRI), and recognizing their impact is necessary to provide a complete and accurate picture of health and health outcomes related to injury. Main Reducing disparities and achieving equity in sports and recreation is possible in part by improving data collection methodologies and utilization. Often, many SDOH have considerable effect on SRI. Although SRI epidemiology frequently examines differences by sex, there is limited inclusion of factors such as socioeconomic status, housing, gender, and food security, in sport specific data sources or in analysis of sport recreation and injury using other sources (e.g. administrative data). The ongoing dual epidemics in the United States – racism and COVID-19 – have emphasized the importance of having and utilizing SDOH data to reduce the burden of injury and disproportionate effects on our diverse population. Conclusion Moving forward, to address disparities in SRI, SDOH must be included as a part of research priorities, health related goals, and policies. This difference can be made in developing consistency in data collection and utilization. This will provide an accurate picture of the intersections and interdisciplinary changes required to design the best approach to problems to develop solutions. Future data collection and utilization should prioritize SDOH.
