The COVID-19 pandemic caused a great emotional impact on the general population, with specific consequences in the field of sport and physical activity. The present study was conducted to meet two objectives: (1) to investigate if the pandemic had an impact on competitive anxiety and if the sex and competitive level played a mediating role, and (2)...
En los últimos años han aumentado los estudios científicos que evalúan procesos psicológicos y sociales en aficionados al deporte, destacando aquellos relacionados con las agresiones y el comportamiento antisocial. Dos de los constructos clave para entender la violencia entre aficionados deportivos son la identificación grupal y la desconexión mora...
Los observadores somos capaces de extraer la información necesaria para entender una imagen, identificarla, e incluso recordarla, aun con tiempos de exposición breves. Sin embargo, esto resulta más complicado cuando nuestros recursos atencionales están asignados a una tarea concurrente. Esta eficacia en el procesamiento depende, en parte, de la inf...
El sistema perceptivo humano, cuando está comprometido en la búsqueda de objetos inmersos en ambientes complejos, como suelen ser la mayoría de los ambientes naturales, es capaz de completar aquellas partes de los mismos que, transitoriamente, podrían encontrarse ocluidas por otros elementos presentes en la escena y que se superponen entre sí, a es...
The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between competitive state anxiety, self-confidence and attentional control. The impact of the number of years’ experience in sporting practice on these variables was also analysed. Our study considered the following hypotheses: high levels of attentional control will be related to lower levels of...
Background:
The evaluation of psychological skills by athletes and their relationship with sports performance and satisfaction has been of great interest in recent decades. Likewise, there has been an emergent tendency to focus on developing specific psychological skills for each sport. The principal aim of this study was to determine the frequenc...
El presente trabajo empírico se plantea con el objetivo de conocer el nivel de habilidades y destrezas psicológicas relacionadas con el rendimiento deportivo de jugadores de baloncesto mediante el “Test of Performance Strategies 3” (TOPS-3) y su perfil decisional mediante el “Cuestionario de Estilo de Decisión en el Deporte” (CETD). Para ello, se h...
Background: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the conceptualisation and assessment of athletes’ psychological skills and the study of their impact on sports performance. The aim of this study was to adapt the Test of Performance Strategies 3 competition subscale to the Spanish context.
Method: The items included in the original...
El objetivo del presente trabajo es evaluar la relación entre la ansiedad estado competitiva y el control atencional en el fútbol. La investigación se realizó con una muestra de 229 futbolistas adultos federados. Los instrumentos de evaluación empleados fueron: el Inventario de Ansiedad Competitiva CSAI-2R, que evalúa ansiedad cognitiva, ansiedad s...
The aim of this paper is to examine from an integrative approach to what extent occupational stressors when in combination with other variables that have accredited their explicative value in accounting for teacher distress in other domains (personal, psychosocial and outside the occupational sphere) contribute to predicting and/or explaining the d...
In this study, we explore the role played by eccentricity in two different visual search tasks (serial and parallel), along with the differences that occur in the processing of stimuli in different visual fields (upper, lower, right and left), analyzing the changes that occur with practice. The results support the attentional hypothesis of Wolfe et...
It seems intuitively clear and it has been experimentally proven that in visual search task when target appear in the fixation point it is detected and located better than when such element occupy more peripheral locations. Initially these effects were explained as a result of the decrement of the spatial resolution and sensitivity that happens in...
The eccentricity effect on visual search tasks that differ on attentional demand: Evidence in favor of attentional hypothesis. It seems intuitively clear and it has been experimentally proven that in visual search task when target appear in the fixation point it is detected and located better than when such element occupy more peripheral locations....

It has been stated that whereas between-dimension (color x orientation) conjunctions can be searched in a "parallel" fashion, within-dimension (color x color) conjunctions are necessarily searched in a "serial self-terminating" fashion (Wolfe et al., 1990). We explored the effects of practice (within 1-h experimental session) and distractor groupin...
The Stroop effect is the interference caused by involuntary reading of the word when the subject has to name the colour in which the name of a different colour appears. The purpose of the present paper is to systematically study the influence that the frequency of use of certain words has on the mentioned phenomenon, as well as to explore the effec...
En el presente trabajo se pretende estudiar el efecto de la práctica en una tarea de búsqueda visual en la que los estímulos están definidos por una conjunción intradimensión (color x color). Se llevó a cabo un experimento en el que participaron 11 sujetos voluntarios que realizaron una sesión experimental que constaba de cuatro bloques de 320 ensa...
Purpose. It has been proposed that wheieas some between-dimension conjunctions (color x orientation: a red vertical target unong red tilted and blue vertical distractors) can be searched in a parallel fashion, within- dimension conjunctions (color x color: a green & red square among green & blue and blue & red squares) are necessarily searched in a...
The present paper studies the possibility of subjects can guided their search trough an stimulus defined by an within-dimension conjunction (color x color). 11 subjects participated in an experimental session four blocks of 320 trials each one. The results shown that after practice subjects can detected the target automatically. Those results are i...
En este trabajo se intenta verificar la hipótesis del funcionamiento modular de la etapa preatentiva siguiendo la TIC. En un primer experimento, se utilizaron tres condiciones experimentales diferentes: 1) Conjunto de objetivos definidos por valores pertenecientes a diferentes dimensiones estimulares (tamaño, pendiente y curvatura), 2a) Objetivos d...
En este artículo se exploran las condiciones estimulares que permiten que los sujetos puedan buscar más de un ítem a la vez en una tarea hibrida de búsqueda visual y en la memoria. Se usaron tres condiciones experimentales: 1) Los tres elementos del conjunto de objetivos definidos por características pertenecientes a dimensiones diferentes (tamaño,...
En este trabajo exploramos el papel que la excentricidad desempeña en dos tareas de búsqueda intradimensión diferentes (serial y paralela) así como los cambios que ocurren en el procesamiento de los estímulos en los diferentes campos visuales (superior, inferior, derecho e izquierdo), analizando además los efectos provocados por la práctica en la t...
