Direct future attribution research at which causal elements apply most often to which sport situations¶

Strategy · All strategies
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

In its conclusions, the review recommends that although attribution research has become more complex since Heider and Weiner, their original hypotheses should not be ignored. Instead, "research should look at their elements more closely to discover which causal elements apply most often to what sport situations." The review argues athletes will increasingly accept psychological help, sustaining demand for new findings in sport.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Researchers should use improved measures such as the CDSII rather than the early four-element scales

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

athletes seeking performance improvement

Target Learning Goals¶

explaining and improving sport performance through causal attribution understanding
