Psychological strategies with equestrian : Differences in the use of psychological strategies during training and competition and between the disciplines in equestrian sports (English)
Abstract [sv]

En kvantitativ studie genomfördes med syftet att undersöka i vilken utsträckning psykologiska strategier används av ryttare samt om det finns några eventuella skillnader i användandet av psykologiska strategier på träning och tävling och i mellan grenarna inom ridsporten. Vidare undersöktes det om det finns ett samband mellan användandet av psykologiska strategier och upplevd prestation. För att mäta detta användes en svensk version av självskattningsinstrumentet Test of Performance Strategies (TOPS). 185 ryttare deltog i studien, varav 107 stycken var dressyrryttare, 39 stycken var hoppryttare och 38 stycken deltog inom en övrig gren inom ridsporten. Resultatet visade en signifikant skillnad i användandet av psykologiska strategier mellan träning- och tävlingssammanhang, där strategierna användes mer i träningssammanhang. Resultatet visade även en signifikant skillnad i användandet av psykologiska strategier mellan grenarna i ridsport, där ryttarna inom hoppning och annan gren visade sig använda sig av mer automatisering på tävling än ryttarna inom dressyr. Dessutom fanns ett positivt signifikant samband mellan upplevd grad av prestationsnivå på tävling och användandet av psykologiska strategier. Samt ett ytterligare ett positivt signifikant samband mellan upplevd grad av prestationsnivå på träning och användandet av psykologiska strategier. Slutsatsen kunde dras att populationen använder mer psykologiska strategier i träningssammanhang samt de upplever att en hög grad av användande av psykologiska strategier resulterar i en upplevd hög grad av prestationsnivå.

Abstract [en]

A quantitative study has been conducted with the aim of investigating the extent to which psychological strategies are used by riders as well as whether there were any differences in the use of psychological strategies during training and competition and between the disciplines of the equestrian sport. Furthermore, it examined whether there was a connection between the use of psychological strategies and experienced achievement-level. To measure this a Swedish version of the self-assessment instrument Test of Performance Strategies (TOPS) was used. 185 equestrians participated in the study, whence 107 of them competed in dressage, 39 of them competed in jumping and 38 of them competed in another discipline. The result showed a significant difference in the use of psychological strategies in training and competition, where the psychological strategies was used more in the training sessions. The result also showed a significant difference in the use of psychological strategies between the disciplines, it showed that the equestrians who jumped and participated in another discipline used more automaticity in competition than dressage riders. In addition, there was a positive significant relationship between the degree of perceived performance on competition and the use of psychological strategies. There were also a positive significant relationship between the degree of perceived performance on training and the use of psychological strategies. The conclusion is that the population used more psychological strategies in training sessions and they experience that a high degree of using psychological strategies results in a high degree of perceived performance.
