Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology

The Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology (JSEP) exclusively specializes in providing the foremost coverage of sport and exercise psychology research. This highly esteemed journal presents innovative research in all areas of sport and exercise psychology from the leading scholars in the field. Areas of interest in this quarterly journal include research in social, clinical, developmental, and experimental psychology as well as psychobiology and personality. In addition to original research, JSEP provides a digest of articles from recent sport and exercise publications, media reviews, and an annual supplemental issue devoted to proceedings of the annual conference of the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity. Recent issues of JSEP have presented articles on topics relating to exercise and depression, the effect of anticipated running distance on perceived exertion and attentional focus, athletic identity and its relation to exercise behavior, the effects of exercise on quality of life, and psychophysiological responses of rival sports fans. In upcoming issues, the diversity of the content in JSEP will continue with topics ranging from a study of mood and self-efficacy during acute exercise in clinical depression to competitive sport motivation and involvement in relation to family socialization and gender. Also available is the online format of JSEP that offers the same authoritative content available in the print edition, but with the additional advantages of electronically formatted material including the ability to search journals in seconds, access to five years of back issues, and e-mail notification that the online version is available before the print version mails.Eklund, Robert C. is the author of 'Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology', published 2005 under ISBN 9780736048460 and ISBN 0736048464.
