Aims and scope

Journal of Sport, Exercise and Cultural Psychology is an international refereed journal publishes quarterly online open access by KMF that publishes empirical and theoretical contributions in the human movement sciences from all over the world. The aim of the journal is to provide psychology practitioners involved in the sport industry with sound information that is immediately applicable to their work; and to disseminate results of rigorous and relevant studies, to expose positions and commentaries regarding the development of theory and confirmation or contradiction of previous findings. It provides sport psychologists with useful and sensible informed guidance that will make a difference in the way they practice. The scope of the journal is any information that assists sport psychology practitioners to better understand, assess, and intervene with clients (individuals, families, groups, organizations, community) in order to promote more effective functioning. In all sport settings, practitioners are likely to encounter a range of issues that require understanding of performance enhancement, health and well-being, clinical disorders, ethical guidelines and dilemmas, all forms of diversity, coaching and support, and so forth. Although the core audience of Journal of Sport, Exercise and Cultural Psychology is psychologists and consultants practicing in the sport domain, we also wish to appeal to a range of other informed delivers and consumers, including students, trainee psychologists, educators and supervisors, sports scientists and medics, sports coaches and parents, performance directors and managers, the media, and athletes themselves. Manuscripts related to psychology, sport pedagogy, exercise and sport performance are suited to the Journal’s scope. It entertains various methodologies encompassing coherence among epistemology, research questions, tools, statistical or clinical analyses and discussion or potential applications. Qualitative and quantitative analyses as well as case studies are of interest when appropriately used.
