Psychophysiology – A New Direction for Sport Psychology

An area of inquiry that has largely been ignored in scientific studies in the field of sport psychology/motor performance is the subdiscipline of psychology called psychophysiology. This subdiscipline, which is concerned with inferences of psychological processes and emotional states from an examination of physiological measures, is rich in methodological and theoretical insights that could improve research and practice within sport psychology/motor performance. The current methodological and theoretical issues in psychophysiology are first reviewed and then specifically related to recent sport studies that demonstrate their applicability to the enhancement of both theoretical and applied aspects of sport.

Diet and behavior in children: methodological considerations

The present article examines several current methodological issues in the research on diet and behavior in children. When careful consideration is given to research design, administration of the independent variable, measurement of dependent variables, and statistical analysis, the most conclusive results are obtained from experimental studies. At this early stage in the study of diet and behavior in children, evidence from clinical reports and passive-observational (also called correlational) studies are useful for generating hypotheses. Even when experimental methods are used, there are several issues important for the interpretation of studies addressing the topic of diet and behavior in children.
