“…At this point, it is expected that the participantas will be closer to the internal locus of control. When the literature is examined, it is seen that the locus of control scores of the athletes are similar to our study (Chugh et al, 2012;Filipiak and Lubianka, 2020;Kleiber and Hemmer,1981;Watson, 2016).…”

Individuals dealing with sailing, which is an outdoor sport, need to focus on the target with determination and be motivated while struggling with the wind, waves, currents, and opponents. The locus of control is accepted as an element that can predict success in sports where such complex mental processes are used. In addition, athletes' orientation towards performance and learning, and their critical perspective are also known as factors determining success and failure. In this study, it was aimed to test whether the locus of control and motivation styles of national sailing athletes determine their success orientation or not. The analogous sampling method, one of the purposeful sampling methods, was used in determining the participants, and the study was carried out with a correlational design. The study included 79 (24 Female, 55 Male) Turkish national athletes (X̄=20.58±5.46), aged 16-35, competing in Laser (Standard, Radial, 4.7), 470, 420, Finn, Windsurfing branches. The following scales were used in the study :“Achievement Goal Model”, “Sport Motivatiob Scale II” and “The Rotter Locus of Control Scale”. According to the results, we found that the determinants of learning-avoidance goal orientation are regulation by identification and external regulation, and the determinants of learning-avoidance goal orientation are regulation by identification and external regulation. As a result, the achievement goals and motivation style of the participants are in interaction and it is thought that determining the locus of control and aspects of motivation are important to understand the athlete's achievement goal orientation.

“…Although the coaches reported awareness of support services offered, the authors did not compare these results to perceptions of support service availability offered at four-year institutions for student-athletes. Watson (2016) conducted a study of student-athletes' stress perceptions at community colleges and found that athletic identity contributed to perceived stress. As valuable as these studies are, they are not specifically about female athletes, nor do they directly compare student-athletes' experiences at the community college level with those at fouryear institutions.…”

Quality of life (QOL) is essential for sport and academic performance, personal satisfaction, and general health. This study aimed to examine the QOL of female athletes at the NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NJCAA Division II, and student club sport levels. This cross-sectional study included N= 159 female athletes to complete a personal demographics and World Health Organization Quality of Life- Brief (WHOQOL-BREF) assessment. The primary QOL, including physical, mental, social relationships, and environmental health domains and total scores, were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis tests. NCAA DI had a higher total QOL score than NJCAA (p< 0.001) and NCAA DII and NJCAA athletes (p< 0.05). Likewise, NCAA DI had higher physical health scores than NCAA DII and NJCAA DII athletes, and club athletes higher than NCAA DII, p< 0.001. Lower mental health scores were found for NJCAA and club athletes compared to NCAA I, p< 0.01, and NCAA II, p= 0.02, athletes. NJCAA athletes had lower environmental health than NCAA DI and DII sports athletes, p= 0.05. No differences were found for the social relationships domain, p= 0.61. In conclusion, collegiate female athletes’ QOL warrants improved wellness services, especially at the NJCAA level. Keywords: wellness, health, survey, resources, support

“…Although perceived stress has been studied among college athletes (e.g., Chiu et al, 2016;Gerber et al, 2018;Moen, Wells, Firing, 2016), the direct relationship between athletic identity and perceived stress has been assessed less frequently. In one study, Watson (2016) found that level of athletic identity predicted perceived stress among 144 community college athletes. Other studies have included variables similar to AI and perceived stress, such as passion and burnout.…”

“…The PSS-10 boasts widespread use in the literature as a measure of stress. Numerous authors have used it as an outcome measure (e.g., Everett, Onge, & Mollborn, 2016;Riggle et al, 2017, Sanders & Chalk, 2016Watson, 2016). In light of its recurring presence in the literature and psychometric evidence, the PSS-10 was considered appropriate for the present study.…”

Internalized Heterosexism, Outness, Athletic Identity, and Perceived Stress Among Queer Female Athletes

Unfortunately, few studies have examined the impact of this climate on female athletes with minoritized sexual identities. Most research pertaining to this population has been qualitative and largely focused on lesbian athletes (Fynes & Fisher, 2016; Stoelting, 2011). Consequently, more generalizable conclusions about queer female athlete experiences has been limited. The present study was an attempt to address this research gap, by assessing the internalized heterosexism, outness, athletic identity, and perceived stress of queer women competing at the college level. Two mediation models were proposed. The first situated internalized heterosexism as a mediator of the relationship between athletic identity and perceived stress. The second situated internalized heterosexism as a mediator between outness and perceived stress. Participants were recruited via online webpages and email advertisement. Only cisgender women over 18, competing in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and identifying with a minoritized sexual identity were eligible to participate.
