“…These positive outcomes refer to an understudied group [ 36 ], sports sciences students, which we consider may be a key group both in elite and recreational settings since they will develop their careers in the sports world. According to Chirico et al [ 47 ], athletes typically seek to indulge in doping to (re)gain personal significance, developing moral disengagement and dissociation strategies to justify their conduct. ASPs trained in anti-doping skills should be better equipped to identify possible at-risk individuals and prevent doping abuse.…”

Doping continues to be one of the biggest risks to the credibility of elite sports, and its practice remains widespread among athletes despite improved controls. Athletes’ support personnel could be key to preventing doping behavior. In this sense, anti-doping education for this population appears as a possible strategy to reduce doping behaviors in elite sport, but these programs must be evaluated and designed based on scientific evidence. The aim of this research is to explore the impact of an anti-doping education program about substances perceived efficacy, ill-health short- and long-term effects, and the morality of doping substance use in Spanish sports sciences students. Method: A total of 145 students of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences (PASS) from different Spanish universities who took an online anti-doping educational course of the Spanish Anti-Doping Commission (CELAD) answered a questionnaire on their perceptions about doping before, after, and four months later. Results: The results show that the course reduced students’ ignorance about the effects of substances on performance and health and increased their moral judgment and feelings against doping. Discussion: The results are in line with previous research that showed that the moral stance against doping can be improved through educational programs. Conclusion: Online educational interventions can be effective in reducing doping behavior, so their future implementation among ASP can be an effective strategy to reduce doping behavior.

“…Doping behavior is an individual's act of considering drugs to increase physical ability. 15 Problems related to doping were found in a lack of knowledge and understanding of PABBSI athletes in the Padang city regarding the use of supplements and drugs classified as doping. 16 In addition, the results of Kuswahyudi, Dlis, & Tangkudung (2020) research also show that trainers' doping knowledge is still minimal, with a percentage of 39.43% in the poor, 56.34% in the good category, and 4.23% in the excellent category.…”

Introduction: Doping is an invisible cheating act in a match; therefore, it is necessary to provide an anti-doping understanding to overcome doping behavior in a competition. The research purpose was to produce a product in the Rumi Doping application as a medium for anti-doping understanding in Indonesian NPC athletes. Methods: This research used R&D with the Agile Sprint planning model, which consists of (1) planning (planning for the preparation of software components); ( 2) developing (start software development); (3) testing (software testing); ( 4) delivering (present the software product); and ( 5) assessing (assess and provide feedback on the products that have been made). Data were collected by observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The testing stage used experts' product validation, and the assessment stage used product users (Indonesian National Paralympic Committee athletes). Aiken V Coefficient for validity testing and descriptive percentages to measure user ratings in the form of practicality and effectiveness of the Rumi Doping application. Results: The results showed that the average Aiken V value was 0.89 > 0.77, so it could be stated that the application developed was valid. The practicality assessment of the Rumi Doping application showed an average percentage of 80% (24/30) of athletes stated that it was practical to use. The effectiveness assessment of the Rumi Doping application showed that 90% (27/30) athletes disagreed about doping in sports, which means athletes have understood that doping is prohibited in sports. Conclusion: The research concluded that the Rumi Doping application is valid, practical, and effective in providing information about doping.

“…Five experimental studies manipulating network operationalized significance loss as death anxiety (Orehek et al, 2014, Studies 1-5). In 13 studies, significance loss was measured through negative emotional states (Adam-Troian et al, 2020;Bélanger et al, 2022, Study 1;Chirico et al, 2021, Dugas et al, 2016Jasko, Grzymala-Moszczynska et al, 2020, Study 2;Jasko et al, 2019, Studies 3-6;Lyons et al, 2015;Mahfud & Adam-Troian, 2021, Study 1;Webber et al, 2018, Studies 1-2). The measurements of negative emotional states varied considerably (cf.…”

“…[ INSERT FIGURE 1 HERE] Since its appearance in 2009, the literature on the SQT has grown. It has been tested in various radical (and nonradical), violent (and nonviolent) populations (e.g., for Yellow Vest activists in France, see Adam-Troian et al, 2020; for athletes, see Chirico et al, 2021; for environmentalists and Muslims, see for refugees, see Dugas et al, 2016; for political and religious radicals, see , through different research designs (cross-sectional, experimental, longitudinal, and qualitative), not only by Kruglanski's team but also by independent researchers from different countries. The rise of terrorist organizations and terrorist attacks in the 21 st century draws our attention to the importance of understanding how an individual turns to violent extremism and what can be done to prevent or reverse this process.…”

According to the Significance Quest Theory (Kruglanski et al., 2009) and the 3N model (Webber & Kruglanski, 2017), violent extremism is the product of a quest for significance triggered by a need for significance (need) and nourished by subscription to a radical ideology (narrative) and affiliation with a radical network (network). The present systematic review aims to synthesize extant quantitative empirical research mobilizing this framework. We screened a total of 151 reports, of which 31 met our eligibility criteria. These regrouped a total of 84 studies. Our findings show an important heterogeneity in the measurements and manipulations of significance (need and quest), narrative, and network, as well as in the pathways examined. Moreover, while the theory’s predictions are confirmed by a majority of the studies’ findings (n = 74), such predictions are also infirmed by a considerable number of studies’ findings (n = 29). This is particularly the case for the empirical evidence related to the association between significance loss and extremism, as well as the association between significance loss and narrative, and between network and extremism. More consistent evidence was found concerning the association between significance loss and network, significance quest and narrative, significance quest and extremism, and narrative and extremism. The methodological, operational, and theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
