About this Research Topic
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant changes in our way of life and work, resulting in the widespread adoption of online tools. Web browsers and smart mobile devices are now being utilized for conducting health and sport psychological assessments. This trend offers numerous advantages, such as efficient data collection, error prevention, and the ability to employ data mining, mixed methods, statistics, and other analytical techniques for data processing.
This research topic aims to explore a wide range of case studies, tools, techniques, and applications that can be utilized for sport and health psychological assessment and evaluation. It seeks to investigate how data can be collected, analyzed, processed, and shared across various disciplines within the sports and health psychology domains.
Multidisciplinary applied research plays a significant role in this section, where research findings can be introduced into practical settings for many fields of knowledge. Some research areas that can be included are:
• Computer tools for data processing in Sport, Mental health and social psychology;
• Online Assessment for social and psychological aspects of sports participation analysis and development;
• Online Assessment for physical activity, physical education, and sport for mental health benefits;
• The use and validation of specific online questionnaires focused on sport psychology topics such as motivation, participation, burnout, etc;
• Observational methodology and interpretation of sports behaviors from a psychological perspective;
• The application of statistical and artificial intelligence models to improve the meaning and utility of research findings related to psychological aspects in sports (e.g., team cohesion, sports performance, sports analytics);
• Online Assessment for Interrelated approaches involving physical and psychological aspects of sports behaviors;
• Online Assessment for Performance under pressure and stress-related issues evaluation in sport;
• Online Assessment for application and revisiting theories of sports training in sport psychology (e.g., goalsetting, anxiety and arousal, emotions, self-confidence, and self-motivation).
