Abstract
Athletes differ at staying focused on performance and avoiding distraction. Drawing on the strength model of self-control we investigated whether athletes do not only differ inter-individually in their disposition of staying focused and avoiding distraction but also intra-individually in their situational availability of focused attention. In the present experiment we hypothesized that basketball players (N = 40) who have sufficient self-control resources will perform relatively better on a computer based decision making task under distraction conditions compared to a group who’s self-control resources have been depleted in a prior task requiring self-control. The results are in line with the strength model of self-control by demonstrating that an athlete’s capability to focus attention relies on the situational availability of self-control strength. The current results indicate that having sufficient self-control strength in interference rich sport settings is likely to be beneficial for decision making. Verf.-Referat
