“…As presented in Table 1, several instruments have been created to measure personality constructs related to sports outcomes (Tutko et al 1969;Nideffer 1976),general sport-related behaviours (Durand-Bush et al 2001;Hardy et al 2010;Loehr 1986;Smith et al 1995;Thomas et al 1999), specific mental skills (Williams and Cumming 2011;Zourbanos et al 2009), or target specific disciplines (Albrecht and Feltz 1987;McAuley 1985). As with all psychometric questionnaires, it is essential to meet methodological standards such as established construct validity and reliability that contribute to the utility of these instruments (Tkachuk et al 2003;Beckmann and Kellmann 2003).…”

Research in sports psychology has revealed that mental training is essential in the development of successful athletes. This project, comprised of five studies (a total of N = 2015) resulted in a novel approach towards the measurement of mental skills in sport. In Study 1 (N = 797) and Study 2 (N = 405) we used principal component analysis to identify and confirm the structure of a wide range of identified sport mental skills. Study 3 (N = 429) and Study 5 (N = 330) confirmed factorial structure of Polish and English versions. Study 4 documented how both versions of the scale were developed, and how these two versions converge supporting their cross-cultural validity. The final version contains 20 items grouped into 5 subscales (foundational skills, performance skills, interpersonal skills, self-talk and mental imagery). The Sport Mental Training Questionnaire is a reliable and valid brief questionnaire that will facilitate psychological evaluation of mental preparation among athletes.

“…Thomas and colleagues (2011) suggest that these characteristics may serve as a foundation (McAuley, 1985), it is also unclear if these traditional techniques are 170 effective at building and maintaining robust sport-confidence. Indeed, Thomas et al (2011) 171 suggest the need to shift from a traditional view that high levels of confidence should be 172 developed to more of a focus on developing the strength of the belief across several sources, 173 in order to maintain robust sport-confidence over time.…”

26Based on recent evidence (Thomas, Lane, & Kingston, 2011), this study identified 10 27 strategies advocated by sport psychology consultants as effective at developing and by sport psychology consultants. 52Self-confidence is frequently cited as an important part of successful sport 53 performance and has been shown to influence behaviors, attitudes, and sporting attainment 54 (Cox, Shannon, McGuire, & McBride, 2010). The two theoretical frameworks that have 55 predominantly been used to study self-confidence in sport are self-efficacy theory (Bandura, 56 1977(Bandura, 56 , 1986(Bandura, 56 , 1997 and sport-confidence (cf. Vealey & Chase, 2008). 57Self-efficacy is defined as a judgment of one's ability to organize and execute specific 58 actions needed to produce a certain level of performance, and is considered to be a fluctuating 59 state rather than a fixed trait (Bandura, 1986). It is thought that efficacy beliefs influence 60 one's behaviors (i.e., actions), cognitions (i.e., thoughts), and affect (i.e., feelings) and are 61 predicted by six main sources of information (Maddux & Gosselin, 2003). These sources are 62 enactive mastery experiences (i.e., gaining belief from mastery and successful experiences), 63vicarious experiences (i.e., gaining belief from observing the successful experiences of 64 others), verbal persuasion (i.e., gaining belief from the support of significant others including 65 themselves), physiological and emotional states (i.e., gaining belief from associations made 66 between performance and our physiological arousal and emotions), and imaginal experiences 67 (i.e., referring to people gaining belief from imagining themselves, or others, behaving 68 successfully). While Bandura's (1977Bandura's ( , 1986Bandura's ( , 1997) theory of self-efficacy was not developed 69 specifically for the context of competitive sport, it made an important contribution to the 70 study of self-confidence in sport as it tended to be the focal theory underpinning suggested 71 strategies for designing confidence interventions for athletes (Vealey, 2001). 72In order to develop a framework that more appropriately captured the context of 73 competitive sport, Vealey, Hayashi, Garner-Holman, and Giacobbi (1998) built on self-74 efficacy theory to develop the theory of sport-confidence. This term was defined as an 75Develop and maintain robust sport-confidence 3 individual's belief in their ability to succeed in sport (Vealey, 1986(Vealey, , 2001 84Initial research exploring the sources from which athletes derive their confidence identified 85 mental/physical preparation, mastery, and demonstration of ability to be salient sources 86 (Vealey et al., 1998;Wilson, Sullivan, Myers, & Feltz, 2004). sources and types of confidence will influence athletes' sport-confidence levels, and will also 103 vary depending on the organizational culture of the sport. 104The most recent model of sport-confidence (Vealey & Chase, 2008) retains the 105 original nine sources of confidence and also includes...

“…However, none of these studies had a control group and they did not explore whether the effects persisted after a longer period of time. The advantages of supplying information in a film are, first, that knowledge is transferred and, second, that the desirable behavior is demonstrated by actors (mechanisms of role modeling) [15][16][17]. A web-based film that demonstrates oral health behaviors to parents could therefore be an effective way of educating parents about adequate oral health behaviors.…”

BACKGROUND Children necessarily rely on their parents with respect to oral health routines but parental behavior in this area is not always adequate. Web-based interventions are a promising way of improving parental behavior in the area of oral health. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based film about oral health, oral hygiene and dental care targeting parental knowledge and behavior with respect to oral health, directly after exposure and six months later. METHODS We performed a non-blinded quasi-experimental study of the effects of a 8.5 minute web-based film in Dutch, English, Turkish and Moroccan/Berber about the oral health of children. Parents attending well-child clinics in mixed urban and rural areas in the Netherlands were assigned to an intervention (n=88) or control group (n=41). The control group received care as usual. We measured parental knowledge and behavior with respect to oral health before and directly after the intervention and six months later, and assessed differences between the intervention and the control group. RESULTS Parental knowledge about oral health improved: the mean knowledge score was 93% correct after watching the film in the intervention group by comparison with 59% correct in the control group, Cohen’s d=2.64, and it was still better in the intervention group six months after watching the film. Oral health behavior did not differ between the intervention group and the control group after the intervention. CONCLUSIONS A web-based educational film for parents is an effective way to address specific health topics like oral health and to improve parental knowledge.
