“…Despite literature acknowledging that sports can create a perception that one team or one person is better than the other (Kerr & Males, 2010;Wann & Grieve, 2005), that result was not reported in this study. A survey response revealed this nuance by encouraging that differences should be acknowledged "without malice":…”

“…Depending on the results of a competition, participation in sports can create a perception that one team, or even one person, is better than the other (Wann & Grieve, 2005). These perceptions can be true for both spectators (Kerr, Wilson, Nakamura, & Sudo, 2005;Wann & Grieve, 2005) and for participants (Kerr & Males, 2010). There is a gap in the literature about how interactions between teams and individuals occur between international and domestic students in a collegiate recreation context.…”

“…Anger, frustration, and threats to identity are all possible outcomes when players are losing or when their performance is not meeting their expecation (Kerr & Males, 2010). Yet, the data suggest that due to the interventions, students made choices to "go out of their way"…”

Today's student has more access to global issues than any previous generation. Nearly one million higher education students study abroad worldwide, the workplace reflects a need to be interculturally competent, and students rarely have opportunities to learn how to thrive in the new global environment. This study explored how higher education, and specifically collegiate recreation, is responding to this reality. The development of Killick's global-self is a guiding theme and was used to investigate how students perceive the development of their global-self after experiencing interventions designed to introduce the concepts of internationalization and globalization into a collegiate recreation intramural program. The study also examines how students experience the interventions. The literature review focuses on institutional perspective, student engagement, learning theory, the role of sport and recreation in social change, and collegiate recreation professional competencies. A bounded 8-week case study, using aspects of community action research, was the research method. Observations, surveys, and semi-structured interviews provide data on students' perceptions of their development of a global-self and their experience in the designed intramural program.Themes identified in the data provide evidence that the interventions helped students develop both their sense of self-in-the-world and their ability to act-in-the-world. The data suggest that students found value in the interventions and believed them to be a worthwhile addition to the intramural program. Finally, the results of the study suggest that similar interventions can be applied to multiple areas in collegiate recreation and potentially expanded to other forms of co-curricular activities.

“…Research has supported the relevance of these core elements of reversal theory within competitive sport and business. First, the full range of motivational states has been reported in sporting contexts, based on data collected with international team and 8 A SPORT PERFORMANCE DEMAND MODEL individual athletes in naturalistic settings and over an extended period (e.g., Kerr & Males, 2010;Males, 1999;Males, Kerr, & Gerkovich, 1998). Evidence across sports and competitor levels indicates that reversals occur during competition and are induced by the three identified agents of reversal, with contingent events and frustration more common than satiation (Hudson & Walker, 2002;Males et al, 2006Males et al, , 2008.…”

This study presents the development of a basic psychological performance demand model (PDM) for sport, adopting a process view of performance underpinned by reversal theory (Apter, 2001). Six elite coaches with extensive coaching experience at European, Commonwealth, Olympic and Paralympic Games in individual (target shooting, squash and canoe slalom), and team sports (soccer, men's and women's field hockey), were interviewed. Their interview statements were analysed using a combination of deductive and inductive analysis procedures for qualitative data. In conjunction with the interviewer, coaches developed PDMs for their specific sports. Analysis of interview data and coaches' specific PDMs identified four main cross-sport themes or fundamental psychological capabilities required for meeting performance demands. These were: Mastery motivation, Decision making, Execution, and Teamship. The PDM offers a starting framework for a new basic performance model that is novel and pragmatic with potential applicability across sports and organisations. The model is useful in its existing form, but needs further testing, extended practical application and reflection by coaches, athletes, and sport psychologists. It has potential for use in other coaching contexts beyond sport, such as business, leadership development, education, and health.
