- Objectives: To assess the cognitive, emotional, and behavioural consequences of sport career termination of national and international level athletes in three nations.Design and methods: Athletes of Germany (n=88), Lithuania (n=65), and Russia (n=101) were asked to describe in retrospect their reactions to career termination. The Athletic Retirement Questionnaire developed by the first two authors and presented in three corresponding languages was used. Planning of retirement and national identity served as independent variables. Dependent variables were reasons and circumstances for career termination, participants’ emotional reactions, coping reactions, athletic identity during and after sport career, and adjustment to life after career termination.Results: Analyses of variance revealed significant main effects of retirement planning and national identity on most dependent variables. Planning of retirement contributed to significantly better cognitive, emotional, and behavioural adaptation. In addition, high athletic identity contributed to less positive reactions to retirement and to more problems in the adaptation process. The emotional reactions of Russian and Lithuanian athletes were similar, but differed from the German athletes who, in general, showed more positive and lesser negative emotions after retirement. Though accepting the reality of retirement was the most often used coping strategy among all participants, Lithuanian athletes showed more denial and Russian athletes more distraction strategies after retirement than the other nations.Discussion: The results are discussed with regard to athletes’ readiness for career transition in different social and cultural environments. Recommendations are given on how to help athletes to prepare for and to cope with career termination. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Physical self-perceptions in adolescence : Generalizability of a hierarchical multidimensional model across three cultures
- 2003
-
In: Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology. - Beverly Hills, CA : Sage Publications. - 0022-0221 .- 1552-5422. ; 34:6, s. 611-628
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study examines the generalizability of the form, structural parameters, and latent means of a hierarchical multidimensional model of physical self-perceptions in adolescents from three cultures. A children's version of the physical self-perception profile (PSPP-C) was administered to samples of British, Hong Kong, and Russian high school students. A structural equation model that hypothesized a hierarchical structure with global self-esteem as a superordinate construct and physical self-worth as a domain-level construct governing the PSPP-C subdomains fit the data adequately. Tests of the cross-cultural generalizability of the proposed model supported the invariance of the factor pattern and model parameters across the samples. Latent means analysis suggested that the factor means were significantly higher in the British sample, a finding that supports the results of cross-cultural studies of self-esteem in other domains.

Metaphoric description of performance states : an application of the IZOF model
- 2002
-
In: The Sport psychologist. - Champaign, Ill. : Human Kinetics. - 0888-4781 .- 1543-2793. ; 16:4, s. 396-415
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study examined feeling states prior to, during, and after best ever and worst ever competition in 85 skilled Russian athletes using metaphor-generation method (Hanin, 2000). Six situations elicited 510 idiosyncratic and functionally meaningful metaphors (67% animate and 33% inanimate agents) and 922 interpretative descriptors. Metaphors and descriptors reflected high action readiness in best ever competition and low action readiness in worst ever competition. Athletes used different metaphors to describe their feelings prior to, during, and after performance. Accompanying idiosyncratic descriptors had multiple connotations with different components of psychobiosocial state. Aggregated content of descriptors had high scores on optimal and low scores on dysfunctional state characteristics in best ever competition but not in worst ever competition. Future research directions and practical implications are suggested.

Athletes' crises : a developmental perspective
- 2000
-
In: International Journal of Sport Psychology. - Rome : Edizioni Luigi Pozzi. - 0047-0767. ; 31:4, s. 584-601
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The concept of crisis is proposed to better understand the dynamics of sports careers. A crisis is considered a turning point in an athlete's development, caused by a set of transitional problems (contradictions, or inner conflicts) that he/she has to resolve, but is not able to resolve without qualified psychological assistance. Three types of athlete's crises are identified and described: age-related crises, sports career-related crises, and situation-related crises. Empirical support is given on the basis of the sports careers of Russian athletes. Two techniques of psychological counseling that could be offered to athletes during crises - "Substitution" and "Mobilization" - are briefly presented.
