Sports officials (umpires, referees, judges) play a vital role in every sport, and sports governing bodies, fans, and players now expect officials to maintain higher professional standards than ever before. In this ground-breaking book, a team of leading international sport scientists and top level officials have come together to examine, for the first time, the science and practice of officiating in sport, helping us to better understand the skills, techniques and physical requirements of successful refereeing.

The book covers every key component of the official’s role, including:

Top-level officials or officiating managers contribute in the ‘Official’s Call’ sections, reflecting on their experiences in real in-game situations across a wide range of international sports, and on how a better understanding of science and technique can help improve professional practice. No other book has attempted to combine leading edge contemporary sport science with the realities of match officiating in this way, and therefore this book is vital reading for any advanced student of sport science, sport coaching or sport development, or any practising official or sports administrator looking to raise their professional standards.

The central goal of this volume is to bring the learning perspective into the discussion of intuition in judgment and decision making. The book gathers recent work on intuitive decision making that goes beyond the current dominant heuristic processing perspective. However, that does not mean that the book will strictly oppose this perspective. The unique perspective of this book will help to tie together these different conceptualizations of intuition and develop an integrative approach to the psychological understanding of intuition in judgment and decision making. Accordingly, some of the chapters reflect prior research from the heuristic processing perspective in the new light of the learning perspective.

This book provides a representative overview of what we currently know about intuition in judgment and decision making. The authors provide latest theoretical developments, integrative frameworks and state-of-the-art reviews of research in the laboratory and in the field. Moreover, some chapters deal with applied topics. Intuition in Judgment and Decision Making aims not only at the interest of students and researchers of psychology, but also at scholars from neighboring social and behavioral sciences such as economy, sociology, political sciences, and neurosciences.

This textbook covers topics in sport and exercise psychology for students of psychology and sport science, as well as for sport practitioners who want to understand topics in sport psychology in more detail and depth.

The book is divided into two main parts: Theory and Application. The first part covers the theoretical facets of sport and exercise psychology, and the close link between theory and practice, divided into the sub-disciplines of psychology (cognition, motivation, emotion, personality and development, and social processes). The second part focuses on the applications of sport and exercise psychology in the context of performance and health.

With contributions from scholars across the globe, the book offers an international and timely perspective on the key fundaments of sport psychology. Taken together, these chapters provide a challenging yet accessible overview of the larger field of sport and exercise psychology.

This book issuitable for readers at different levels of competence, supported with didactic elements (learning objectives and learning control questions) to find the right learning level.

Dieses Lehrbuch richtet sich an Studierende der Psychologie und Sportwissenschaft sowie an Personen, die in der Sportpraxis tätig sind und Themen der Sportpsychologie genauer und tiefgehender verstehen möchten. Zahlreiche auflockernde didaktische Elemente ermöglichen Ihnen das leichtgängige und freudvolle Lernen komplexer Sachverhalte. Im ersten Teil lernen Sie den Facettenreichtum der Sportpsychologie sowie die Untrennbarkeit von Theorie und Sportpraxis kennen. Theoretische Grundlagen sind nach den Subdisziplinen der Psychologie (Kognition, Motivation, Emotion, Persönlichkeit und soziale Prozesse) untergliedert und verständlich sowie praxisnah erläutert. Dabei werden Fragen beantwortet wie: Welche kognitiven Prozesse führen zu guten Entscheidungen in kritischen Sportspielsituationen? Wie entsteht intrinsische Motivation zum Sporttreiben? Welche Folgen hat Wettkampfangst? Trägt Sport zur Persönlichkeitsentwicklung bei? Wie hängen Teamklima und sportliche Leistung zusammen? Im zweiten Teil erfahren Sie alles Wichtige über die Anwendung der Sportpsychologie in den Kontexten Leistung und Gesundheit. Wie sehen beispielsweise theoriebasierte psychologische Trainings zur Leistungssteigerung im Spitzensport aus und wie effektiv sind diese? Besteht ein Zusammenhang zwischen Sport und Gesundheit? Die von den jeweiligen Fachexperten und -expertinnen verfassten Kapitel stellen eine umfassende und optimale Prüfungsvorbereitung dar. Zudem unterstützen die klare Struktur und Didaktik sowie die in sich abgeschlossenen Kapitel dabei, sich beim Vertiefen oder Nachlesen auf einzelne Inhaltsbereiche zu fokussieren. Das Werk ist prüfungsrelevant und regt zugleich mit wertvollen Impulsen zum Mit- und Weiterdenken an.
