  • Title: Attentional patterns involved in coping strategies in a sport context.
    Author: Bardel MH, Woodman T, Colombel F, Le Scanff C.
    Journal: Res Q Exerc Sport; 2012 Dec; 83(4):597-602. PubMed ID: 23367824.
    Abstract:
    We investigated the relationship between coping strategies and attentional bias after a sport competition. We administered the Ways of Coping Checklist (Paulhan, Nuissier, Quintard, Cousson, & Bourgeois, 1994) to 145 athletes immediately after they had participated in a sport competition. We also assessed attentional bias using a dot probe detection task. Results revealed that emotion-focused coping strategies led athletes to orient their attention away from threat, whereas athletes who adopted problem-focused coping strategies focused their attention toward threat. More precisely, problem-focused coping strategies are related to a facilitated detection of threat, not to disengagement difficulties. The vigilance attentional bias seems to be a compensatory strategy to cope with a stressful situation, such as sport competition.
