Abstract des Autors

Sport and exercise psychology research appearing in Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport ( RQES ) over the past 75 years can be characterized by re-emerging themes—hot topics in the 1930s remain hot topics now. Reemerging themes include sportsmanship/moral development, social development/significant others, selfperceptions, attitudes/motivation, modeling/observational learning, emotion/arousal/anxiety, competition/ achievement orientations, and gender roles. Although research paradigms and methodologies have changed, these topics have endured. We also identified dominant emergent themes appearing in RQES over the last 25 years: measurement development and validation; physical activity adoption and adherence; and multidisciplinary approaches to psychological issues. Given the many specialty journals and trends toward integrating models and methods from multiple disciplines, we suggest that RQES adopt a multidisciplinary focus for research in the field of kinesiology.
