Abstract
Anxiety is one of the main barriers that impact on performance among athletes and countless
researches have been conducted on coping strategy techniques to reduce anxiety among athletes.
Coping strategies involve positive or negative techniques. Positive techniques include positive
self-talk, physical activity, goal setting, thinking on practice, thought stopping, remembering the
worst-case scenario, focus on what you can control, imagery, meditation, simulation, breathing
techniques, progressive relaxation, autogenic training and biofeedback, while, negative
techniques include drugs, alcohol and smoking. The present study sought to explore potential
positive coping techniques used by athletes as influence by demographic variables of athletes.
The sample consisted of 78 Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) athletes. The sample was drawn
from athletes who competed in MASUM (Sport between Universities). Results showed that
imagery have the highest usage among athletes. National athletes used more postive coping
techniques than state, district, and university level athletes. Positive coping techniques of high
level performance athletes were more than medium and low level performance athletes. The
findings emphasized the importance of positive coping strategies to enhance performance. Sport

Abstract: The current essay aims to use a format of Cooperative Learning Strategy (CLS), which
involves group work where the groups are set structured tasks with identifiable outcomes using a
Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) approach (Dyson and Grineski, 2001; Slavin, 1978;
1990) as a basis for the intervention for promoting amicable social skills amongst Iraqi middle school
students. In this study, an intervention programme was devised as part of a new learning style to
encourage the emergence of physical and social skills in which students (mean age = 12.8 years, N
=60) were invited to participate as part of physical education classes. The measures were completed as
pre-tests at the beginning of the intervention for both the treated and control groups and as post-tests at
the end of week six (post-test one) and week twelve (post-test two). Mixed-repeated MANOVA
measures were used to ascertain whether there were significant differences among the pre-test, the
post-test one and post-test two scores and within the two groups. The results showed considerable
success in the cooperative learning classes to improve the social skills among the middle school
students. This study has determined that CLS holds much promise for physical education and sports
activities. Nonetheless, it would be a great challenge if CLS were to be adopted throughout Iraqi
schools, especially in the areas of physical education and sport activities.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify the influence of recreational facilities towards leisure physical activities among youth. As many as 913 respondents aged between 13 to 17 years old from four districts (Seremban, Muar, Kota Star and Kuantan) in Peninsular Malaysia, were chosen through a layered cluster random sampling technique. The results show that the safety of the environment is in moderate level (busy road: M=3.51, SP=1.31; stray dog: M=3.46, SP=1.38; crime: M=3.23, SP=1.33) and it has no connection with the involvement of youths in LTPA (r=-0.01, p>0.05). It is also discovered that sports facilities limit them from undergoing physical activities during leisure hours. However, facilities are easy to be used (75%) by youths and this leads to a significant relationship with LTPA (r=0.10, p<0.05). The implication of this research shows that physical environment is pivotal in order to increase the level of youth involvement in overall free time physical activities. Thus, it is suggested that these physical activities can only take more of the teenagers’ time if they are carried out in environments which are creative, comfortable, safe and user-friendly.

Abstract: This study was aimed to identify the body dissatisfaction among
female athletes and in non- female athletes. This present study also
examined ideals body size, and media influence towards body
dissatisfaction perception among female recreational athletes and nonathletes.
Participants were 40 women age ranged between 21 and 30
years: 20 recreational athletes who regularly go to the gym, do running
and other sporting activities and 20 non athletes who lead a sedentary life
completed self-report measures of ideal body size, body dissatisfaction,
and media influence, and provided their demographic details. Results
indicated that participants’ Body Mass Index (BMI) did not play a role as
a significant predictor of body dissatisfaction for the total sample. Female
athletes prove to have higher body dissatisfaction on themselves compared
to female non-athletes (M= 2.1818, p<0.05). These results clearly indicate
that females participating in sports experience greater body
dissatisfaction than non-athletes females.

Goal orientation and beliefs about causes of sport success among Malaysian athletes
MS Omar-Fauzee, SN Abdul-Razak


Abstract


The purpose of this study was to investigate goal orientations (task and ego) and beliefs (effort, external factors, ability, and illegal advantage) and how these relate to success in sports competition for both National and International level athletes in Malaysia. The sample consisted of 100 male and female Malaysian athletes (55 at National level and 45 at International level) and the study was carried out during a period of centralized training at the National Sport Council of Malaysia. The subjects completed the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ; Duda & Nicholls, 1992) and the 21-item Beliefs About the Causes of Sport Success Questionnaire (BACSSQ; Duda & Nicholls, 1992). The results showed that there was no significance difference (p > .05) between the National and International levels athletes in TEOSQ and BACSSQ, but indicated that task and effort were key orientations and beliefs towards success. To this extent the research showed that both the National and International level athletes looked towards task orientation and effort as key indicators of their motivation for success, which in turn suggested that similar training schedules, facilities, and motivations were key factors. As a result of the findings the authors also suggest that further research needs to be conducted on the International level athletes in order to explore in more depth the reasons why they selected goal orientations and effort. It is suggested that those athletes at International levels should focus more on ego orientation and abilities as their key goal orientations and beliefs towards success. Recommendations for further research which takes better account of cultural and gender difference are also suggested.

Key words: Task and ego orientation, motivation behavior, cross-culture study, elite athletes and cultural differences.

Abstract: A study was done to determine the cognitive and motivational function between open and closed
sport skill type. The study had taken 128 Malaysian athletes from the National Sport Institute of Malaysia
comprising various kind of sport field. Self-Talk Questionnaire (S-TQ) [7] was used as an instrument to assess
the cognitive and motivational function. Result indicates that although there is a strong correlation between
cognitive and motivational function in self talk (r= 0.777**, p<0.05), there is no significance difference found
between both dimension in open and closed sport skill (p<0.05). The result indicate that Malaysian athletes did
applied ST in their game performance but the is no significant different when comparing the cognitive and
motivational function in self talk for closed and open skill sport.
