“…The 22-item SEQ, developed by Jones et al (2005) was employed to measure the pre-competition emotions of the study participants. The items are classified into five (5) subscales, namely dejection (5 items: disappointed, sad, unhappy, dejected and upset); anxiety (5 items: tense, nervous, anxious, uneasy and apprehensive); anger (4 items: angry, annoyed, furious and irritated); happiness (4 items: happy, joyful, cheerful and pleased) and excitement (4 items: energetic, enthusiastic, excited and exhilarated).…”

“…The sport emotion questionnaire (SEQ) emerged as one inventory that has gained prominence in evaluating a broad spectrum of emotions experienced during competition across different athletes from a multi-dimensional perspective (Jones et al, 2005), despite the existence of several other unidimensional scales like Sport Anxiety Scale (SAS; Smith et al, 1990), Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2; Martens et al, 1990) and Competitive Aggressiveness and Anger Scale (CAAS; Maxwell and Moores, 2007). The SEQ was developed and validated considering several theories.…”

“…The SEQ has been reported to have excellent reliability for its scales, with Cronbach's alpha estimates ranging from 0.81 (excitement) to 0.88 (happiness). In addition, support has been provided for the factorial validity of the SEQ [Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.93; Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) = 0.07] (Jones et al, 2005). Since SEQ's development and validation, it has also been adopted by scholars to evaluate recalled emotions in a sport setting (e.g., Vast et al, 2010).…”

Examining the underlying latent structure of the sports emotion questionnaire: Insights from the bifactor multidimensional item response theory

BackgroundDespite the widespread use of the sports emotion questionnaire (SEQ) in several studies, it is surprising that only a few have explicitly tested the validity and utility of the instrument in non-western populations. Besides, the issue of dimensionality and the latent structure of the instrument remain inconclusive given that several authors have revealed different factor structures across diverse populations. The central concern is whether the items on the various dimensions, proposed for the original SEQ, offer adequate information to their respective expected subscale or otherwise. This study assessed the underlying latent structure of the SEQ using confirmatory and bifactor multidimensional item response (MIRT) models.MethodsThrough a well-designed validation study 300 athletes from three West African countries, participating in the 2018 West African University Games were surveyed to respond to the SEQ. The data were analyzed using first, a 5-factor confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) via the MIRT model and second, a bifactor MIRT analysis.ResultsThe results revealed that items on the SEQ were fairly good in measuring the construct under the respective domains of the instrument. However, the outcome of the bifactor model showed that the majority of the items on the SEQ explained common variance in relation to the general factor other than the specific domains (5-dimensions).ConclusionFindings of the bifactor model question whether the sub-dimensions of the SEQ are needed since most of the items on the SEQ explained larger variances in the general factor than any of the five domains. It is concluded that instruments like SEQ should be scored for a general factor and not as sub-dimensions. Further investigations are encouraged by scholars within the area to probe the dimensionality of the SEQ.

About the indices of subjectivity demonstration among the athletes in the aspect of structure and content of self-attitude specificity

The urgency of the research is in the fact that a modern person has a distinct need for the opportunity to demonstrate personal self-realization and subjective activity. The aim of the research work is to realize comparative analysis of self-attitude among athletes, who go in for athletic kinds of sport and fighting (martial) arts. Materials and Research methods. 76 people took part in the research work: students-athletes and people, who go in for fighting combats, who were divided into two groups: control group (CG, n=41) and the main group (MG, n=35). Results. We considered the research results according to some kinds of scales. Scale I: openness-closedness. The results of statistic hypothesis check concerning the independence of the features (the level of psychological "openness" and sports specialization) proved that the differences between the results of two groups were statistically valid (р=0,001). Students-athletes showed more open attitude to themselves. Scale II: self-confidence. Statistical hypothesis check about the independence of the features (sports specialization -self-confidence) showed that in results distribution differences have statistically valid character (р=0,05). Conclusion. As a result of the held qualitative analysis of athletes' answers we described psychological content of different aspects of self-attitude. If we consider the parameter of self-confidence in the group of athletes, in terms of self-estimation (according to the frequency of affirmative answers) the first place they gave to reliability and self-respect and the representatives of fighting combats-the ability to place responsibility on oneself and make decisions in difficult situations. Subordinate factors analysis showed that in the athletes, who go in for fighting combats, prevails productive structure of self-attitude. Thus, this group is characterized by high indices of self-respect. The basis of it form high self-estimation of athletes according to socially important criteria. If we speak about low indices of "self-destruction", taking into account that they are received in terms of high argumentation, we can mention that they prove psychological correspondence between different aspects of outer and inner life of athletes, who go in for fighting combats.

“…The Sport Emotion Questionnaire [SEQ; translated and adapted from Jones et al (2005) by Faria and Gomes (2018)] was used to access subjective feelings associated with emotions in sport in five dimensions: (a) anxiety (e.g., "I am worried about the next match, " α for this study = 0.76); (b) dejection (e.g., "I am unhappy about the next match, " α for this study = 0.92); (c) anger (e.g., "I am infuriated about the next match, " α for this study = 0.85); (d) excitement (e.g., "I am excited about the next match, " α for this study = 0.73); and, (e) happiness (e.g., "I am happy about the next match, " α for this study = 0.93). The first three dimensions assess negative emotional reactions and the last two positive emotional reactions.…”

Adaptation to stress in football athletes: The importance of cognitive appraisal

et al. 2022

This study analysed the adaptation of football athletes to competitive stressors regarding the upcoming match. For that, the study adopted a cross-sectional methodology using a critical incident approach. The participants were 352 young male football athletes, aged between 15 and 19 years (M = 16.91, SD = 0.99), who were competing in the national football championship. The results indicated that cognitive appraisal partially mediated the relationship between competitive stressors and emotions: athletes who perceived stressors as a challenge, tended to feel more control over the situation and more resourceful (coping perception), leading to a more positive emotional experience, while those perceiving the stressors as a threat were more prone to experience less control and more negative emotions. This mediation model was moderated by athletes’ competitive level (U17 or U19), as the role of challenge perception was more pronounced in the U19 team, while the relationship between threat perception and less control was only observed for the U17 team. In sum, the data reveals the importance of cognitive appraisal in young football athletes’ adaptation to competitive stressors, bolstering the theoretical models in this area and the importance of psychologists to consider these variables during intervention, particularly cognitive appraisal.
