Assessing model fit: Caveats and recommendations for confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory structural equation modeling
(Routledge, 2015)
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is commonly used to assess measurement models in sport and exercise psychology. Frequently used as a yardstick for their adequacy, are specific cutoff values proposed by Hu and Bentler ...
Evidence for the reliability and validity, and some support for the practical utility of the two-factor consideration of future consequences scale-14 (Pre-published version)
(Elsevier, 2016)
Researchers have proposed 1-factor, 2-factor, and bifactor solutions to the 12-item Consideration of Future Consequences Scale (CFCS-12). In order to overcome some measurement problems and to create a robust and conceptually ...
The factorial validity and reliability of three versions of the aggression questionnaire using confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory structural equation modelling (Pre-published version)
(Elsevier, 2016)
The Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) measures aggression in four domains: Anger, Hostility, Physical Aggression and Verbal Aggression. Moreover, a number of shorter versions of the AQ have emerged. The present study used a ...
A personalised exercise programme for individuals with lower limb amputation reduces falls and improves gait biomechanics: A block randomised controlled trial (Pre-published version)
(Elsevier, 2018)
Background: Lower limb amputees (LLAs) are at increased risk of falling due to the inherent asymmetry resulting from their limb loss, muscle weakness and other neuro-musculoskeletal limitations. Research question: The aim ...
Mental toughness in higher education: Relationships with achievement and profession in first-year university sports students (Pre-published version)
(Elsevier, 2014)
Research into mental toughness has largely been confined to elite sport but should theoretically be important across other performance domains. We examined mental toughness in 161 first year sport students at a UK University ...
Measuring time perspective in adolescents: Can you get the right answer by asking the wrong questions? (Pre-published version)
(Elsevier, 2015)
Time perspective continues to evolve as a psychological construct. The extant literature suggests that higher future orientation and lower present orientation are associated with better developmental outcomes. However, the ...
Mental toughness and transitions to high school and to undergraduate study (Pre-published version)
(Routledge, 2016)
Mental toughness can be conceptualised as a set of attributes that allow people to deal effectively with challenges, stressors, and pressure. Recent work has suggested that it may be a valuable construct to consider within ...
Development and validation of the compliant and principled sportspersonship scale (Pre-published version)
(Routledge, 2014)
Purpose: A new measure of sportspersonship, which differentiates between compliance and principled approaches, was developed and initially validated in 3 studies. Method: Study 1 developed items, assessed content validity, ...
Mental toughness in education: exploring relationships with attainment, attendance, behaviour and peer relationships (Pre-published version)
(Routledge, 2014)
Mental toughness has frequently been associated with successful performance in sport; however, recent research suggests that it may also be related to academic performance in Higher Education. In a series of three exploratory ...
Mentally tough athletes are more aware of unsupportive coaching behaviours: Perceptions of coach behavior, motivational climate, and mental toughness among athletes (Pre-published version)
(Sage, 2016)
In this study, we tested an a priori model that included coach behaviour, motivational climate, and mental toughness among 290 athletes. Structural equation modelling demonstrated that supportive coach behaviours were ...
