“…Individuals from smaller communities receive more social support, have higher self-efficacy, and experience less conflict with others than those from larger cities (Elgar, Arlett, & Groves, 2003). These psychosocial characteristics have been associated with sustained involvement in sport (Pelletier, Fortier, Vallerand, & Brière, 2001;Robinson & Carron, 1982).…”

In this study, we assessed whether contextual factors related to where or when an athlete is born influence their likelihood of playing professional sport. The birthplace and birth month of all American players in the National Hockey League, National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball, and Professional Golfer's Association, and all Canadian players in the National Hockey League were collected from official websites. Monte Carlo simulations were used to verify if the birthplace of these professional athletes deviated in any systematic way from the official census population distribution, and chi-square analyses were conducted to determine whether the players' birth months were evenly distributed throughout the year. Results showed a birthplace bias towards smaller cities, with professional athletes being over-represented in cities of less than 500,000 and under-represented in cities of 500,000 and over. A birth month/relative age effect (in the form of a distinct bias towards elite athletes being relatively older than their peers) was found for hockey and baseball but not for basketball and golf. Comparative analyses suggested that contextual factors associated with place of birth contribute more influentially to the achievement of an elite level of sport performance than does relative age and that these factors are essentially independent in their influences on expertise development.

“…Já as estratégias focadas na emoção envolvem a mudança da resposta emocional do indivíduo ao stress, o que pode envolver respostas como a procura de apoio ou a expressão das emoções. Se as estratégias focadas nos problemas parecem associar-se a maior saúde (McMahon et al, 2013;Penley, Tomaka, & Weibe, 2002), as estratégias focadas nas emoções tendem a ser associadas a consequências mais negativas, por exemplo, consumo de álcool (Wills, Sandy, Yaeger, Cleary, & Shinar, 2001), perturbações do humor (Miers, Rieffe, Terwogt, Cowan, & Linden, 2007;Thompson et al, 2010), problemas de comportamento (Elgar, Arlett, & Groves, 2003) ou mesmo comportamentos suicidários (McMahon et al, 2013).…”

ResumoA adolescência é uma fase desenvolvimental marcada por desafios. No sentido de conhecer melhor as estratégias que os adolescentes utilizam para lidar com o stress, pretendeu-se com este estudo apresentar as propriedades psicométricas da Escala de Estratégias de Coping na Adolescência (Burnett & Fanshawe, 1997), testada junto de uma amostra de adolescentes portugueses, explorando diferenças em função do género e da idade. Os resultados permitiram encontrar uma estrutura factorial válida e com consistência interna genericamente adequada. Os dados permitem perceber diferenças nas estratégias de coping, com as moças a procurar mais apoio dos outros e melhoria pessoal, enquanto os rapazes utilizam mais frequentemente drogas ou o humor. Em função da idade verificouse uma relação positiva com o uso de substâncias e diminuição da procura de apoio da família e de profissionais. Os dados são discutidos à luz da literatura e implicações para a prática são apresentadas.Palavras-chave: adolescência; coping; psicometria.
