Many professionals read journals such as The\nInternational Journal of Sports, Journal of Sport Behavior, Journal of Applied Sport Psychology,\nResearch Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, and The Sport Psychologist. In August 2008, Monitor on\nPsychology, the monthly publication of the American Psychological Association (APA), featured a\nspecial issue on sport psychology. Indeed, Division 47 of APA is devoted to \"the scientific, educational,\nand clinical foundations of exercise and sport psychology.\" The North American Society for the\nPsychology of Sport and Physical Activity (NASPSPA) and the Association for the Advancement of\nApplied Sport Psychology (AAASP) convene conferences each year to present scientific findings and\nnew developments in a rapidly expanding field. The AAASP and other organizations also qualify\nprofessionals as certified sport and exercise psychology consultants. Finally, a visit to any bookstore\nwill reveal the lay public’s fascination with sports, as revealed in numerous self-help books and guides\nto perfecting athletic performance.\nBehavioral psychologists have studied sport psychology for more than three decades (Martin,\nThompson, \u0026amp; Regehr, 2004). Applied behavior analysis (ABA), in particular, has been an instrumental\napproach to behavioral coaching in many sports, including baseball (Osborne, Rudrud, \u0026amp; Zezoney,\n1990), basketball (Pates, Cummings, \u0026amp; Maynard, 2002), figure skating (Ming \u0026amp; Martin, 1996), football\n(Ward \u0026amp; Carnes, 2002), golf (Pates, Oliver, \u0026amp; Maynard, 2001), ice hockey (Rogerson \u0026amp; Hrycaiko,\n2002), soccer (Brobst \u0026amp; Ward, 2002), swimming (Hume \u0026amp; Crossman, 1992), and tennis (Allison \u0026amp;\nAyllon, 1980). ABA stresses the application of learning theory principles, objective measurement of\nathletic skills, controlled outcome evaluation, and socially significant behavior-change. Cognitive\nbehavior therapy, or CBT, also has been a dominant approach to psychological intervention insports\n(Meyers, Whelan, \u0026amp; Murphy, 1996; Weinberg \u0026amp; Comar, 1994). CBT addresses athletic performance\nthrough cognitive-change methods combined with behavioral practice and environmental modifications.\nThe purpose of the book described in this proposal is to compile the most recent experimental and\napplied research in behavioral sport psychology. Several journal articles have reviewed critical\ndimensions of behavioral sport psychology (Martin et al., 2004; Martin, Vause, \u0026amp; Schwartzman, 2005)\nbut no book has covered the topic with an emphasis on ABA and CBT methodology and practice.\nAccordingly, Behavioral Sport Psychology: Evidence-Based Approaches to Performance Enhancement\nis a first of its kind volume.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-09-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781489987914\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-0070-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 272\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47408984686732,"sku":"9781489987914","price":89.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781489987914.jpg?v=1775834151","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781489987914","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
