A report on inclusion of disability sport in the Norwegian sport confederation, Olympic and Paralympic committee.
Vis sammendrag
In 1996 the Norwegian Sports Confederation started a process to integrate disability sport in the ordinary sport federations. The status for the sports federations (N=56) was examined during the spring 2008. A majority of the sport federations actively coped with their responsibility for disability sport, but to various degrees. Disability sport was better anchored in the organisation than before, but special engagement was still needed. Wheelchair and other locomotor disabilities still had the best activity offer. Recruitment in particular, but also economy, and handling the more severe disabilities are considered to be the greatest challenges for the future. There are positive expectations as to the situation for disability sport in the federations.

After an initial review of research comparing psychological characteristics of atheletes with and without a disability, the potential of physical activity to empower individuals with a disability will be examined. Three studies, one qualitative and two quantitative, demonstrated that a mastery oriented motivational climate and athletic identity explained significant portions of the variation in empowerment through the sport context. However, also type of disability, competitive level, gender and perceived choice as to organisational integration contributed.

Motivational outcomes in sport: The relationship of achievement goals on peer relationships, empowerment, affect, loneliness, and bullying!
Abstractsof the 12th European Congress of Sport Psychology.
European Federation of Sport Psychology.
Vis sammendrag
The most interesting aspect of the recent work in motivation with achievement goal theory has been the attention paid to important outcome variables, for example peer relationships, cheating, overtraining and burn-out. The present study investigates the effect of the motivational climate on important facets of peer interaction in the sport context. The quality of peer relationships is an understudied facet of the competitive sport experience of youths, even though we have evidence that interaction with peers is important for young people's psychological well being, and that peer relationships contribute to the quality of the sport experience. We studied 1514 male and female participants of youth club sports in the Oslo area of Norway. We used questionnaires to measure the perception of the motivational climate, and measures of the quality of peer relationships: peer conflict, friendship, peer acceptance, loneliness, perception of bullying, affect and whether participants felt empowered by the sport experience. We used canonical correlations to determine the relationship of the motivational climate to these outcome variables. Two meaningful functions emerged. The performance climate was meaningfully related to peer conflict, to negative affect, to loneliness, and to the perception of being bullied. The mastery climate was meaningfully related to positive friendship and social acceptance, to positive affect, and to being empowered. The evidence is suggestive that the motivational climate created by the coach affects the quality of peer relationships in sport. The findings demonstrate the importance of the coach being mastery oriented in terms of their coaching style to facilitate peer interaction in sport.

Motivational climate and social relationships of children: The effect of parental motivational climate on social relationships and sport involvement of boys and girls,

Vis sammendrag
The effect of the motivational climate created by parents on the life of children is an understudied topic. The present study investigated the impact of parental motivational climate on peer and family relationships and sport involvement for boys and girls. The study was part of a health investigation made by The National Institute of Public Health. Participants were 2964 girls and boys 15 years of age in two counties in Norway (69.7% of the total population). Data for this study were collected by questionnaires. Canonical correlations demonstrated that for boys, two meaningful functions emerged. The first was a mastery and performance home climate, positively associated with their own ego and task orientation, the number of hours engaged in sport/exercise, and their liking for sports. The second function was a performance climate, positively associated with ego orientation, and negatively associated with empathy to others. For girls, two meaningful functions emerged. The first was a mastery and performance home environment, positively associated with ego and task orientations, with positive family relationships, empathy, the number of hours engaged in sport and liking sports. The performance climate was positively associated with ego orientation, and negatively associated with family relationships and empathy. Two conclusions may be drawn: First, the criteria of success and failure that parents impart in the home has an effect on the social relationships of their children, and their likelihood to engage in sport/exercise. The more mastery oriented the perceived climate is in the home, the more positive are social relationships, and the more likely children will engage in sport. Second, these relationships are stronger for girls than boys.

Empowerment is the process by which individuals develop skills and abilities to gain control over their lives and to take action to improve their life situation. In an empowerment perspective the concern is to facilitate and free resources to develop self-corrective capacities (Rappaport,1987). Organized youth sport may be one context in which young people¿s empowerment may be fuelled. The relationship between the perception of autonomy support by the coach, achievement goal orientations, perceived ability in sport, friend companionship, perceived peer acceptance, and affect early in the season and the perception of empowerment through the sport context late in the season were measured by questionnaires. Participants in the study were 1294 male (n=787) and female (n=507) members of youth sport clubs in the Oslo area of Norway . Regression analyses revealed that for the girls , positive affect and autonomy support from the coach were the strongest predictors of empowerment, but also perceived ability, task orientation and peer acceptance contributed to explain 24% of the variation in empowerment. For the boys autonomy support was the strongest predictor. Perceived autonomy support from the coach together with task orientation, peer acceptance, ego orientation and perceived ability explained 28% of the variance in empowerment among boys. The findings demonstrate different relationships between the contextual influences and psychological outcomes among boys and girls, nevertheless revealing that autonomy support seems important in order to stimulate a sense of empowerment for both genders .

Sport Psychology for the Disabled Individual.
Vis sammendrag
The aim of the presentation is to highlight psychological issues about disability that are useful to know when working with sport and exercise. It is important to keep in mind that individuals with a disability are primarily individuals, and as a group a very heterogeneous on. The diversity is due to personality variables, but also type of disability and age of onset of the disability. In a functional sense, disability refers to a lasting disturbance or disharmony between an individual¿s resources and his\ her environment. However, disability is also a social construction that in general refers to an unwanted differentness (Goffman, 1963; Sherrill, 1990), a fact that may have several psychological consequences as to attitudes in the environment and identity development. Disability sport refers to all types of sport where individuals with a disability participate in organised sport, whether it is in an integrated or disability specific setting. The difference between disability seen in a medical, a social minority and an individual difference perspective will be examined, as well as similarities and differences between athletes with and without disabilities. Factors of importance for empowerment of individuals with a disability in the sport context will be discussed.

Motivational climate, peer relations, motivation and dropout from sport: A prospective analysis,
Book of Abstracts from the 12th European Congress of Sport Psychology.
European Federation of Sport Psychology.
Vis sammendrag
Previous research on young peoples? sport participation has shown that their perception of the motivational climate surrounding their sport involvement has important implications for the quality of their sport experiences and psychological responses. Sport has meaning to participants because it provides opportunities for interpersonal interaction and the development of social bonds with significant others, and quality of peer relations may play an important role for young peoples? affect, motivation and persistence in sport. The psychological context is salient to the opportunity for and development of constructive peer interactions. Indeed, previous research has revealed a mastery climate to be positively related to quality of friendship and social acceptance among peers, whereas a performance climate that overemphasizes social comparison by the coach has been shown to generate conflict and lack of social acceptance among peers in sport. The purpose of the current paper is to extend previous research by prospectively examining the role of differential motivational climates on young peoples? peer relations, motivation and dropout from organized sport. The sample comprises a sub-sample within a larger ongoing longitudinal research project focusing on psychosocial outcomes of young peoples organized sports participation. Included in the current sub-sample is 698 young people (girls N= 253) and boys (445) involved in various organized sports in the Oslo area who provided follow-up data through coaches on dropout (N=111) versus still participating (N=587). The participants responded to a questionnaire early in the season, providing data on motivational climate, and late in the season providing data on peer relations, motivational regulation and intention to drop out or persist in sport. Data on dropout was collected through coaches in the following season. To illustrate one consistent pattern of results; canonical correlation analysis (Wilk?s lambda = .90,F (14,1344) = 5.36, P<.001) revealed that a predominantly performance oriented climate early in the season was associated in a linear fashion with reduced peer acceptance, friend companionship and intrinsic motivation as well with as enhanced conflict with peers, amotivation and intention to drop out at the end of the season. Moreover, a predominantly performance oriented climate as perceived early in the season predicted enhanced dropout from sport at follow up. Results suggest that a motivational climate in which young sport people perceive the coach as mainly valuing social comparison and emphasizing superiority may lead to a reduction in the quality of peer relations, reduced intrinsically regulated sport motivation, and may lead to enhanced likelihood to drop out from sport.

Aspects of identity in relation to disability sport.
Vis sammendrag
Identity formation is a process that has been described from a developmental aspect (Eriksson, 1963) as well as a stage aspect (Marcia, 1996 ). Social comparison is an important element in this process. Sport is a context where comparison of skills and achievements are central elements. Individuals with a disability are prone to be considered inferior, and studies have demonstrated that labels describing disability result in less favourable attitudes toward those with a disability (Tripp & Rizzo, 2006). Stereotyping happens frequently. Such phenomena may have important effects on the identity formation and self-perceptions of individuals with disability. Individuals with a disability have described how participation in sport has empowered them through establishing an identity as an athlete and thereby helped them in accepting their disability and reach a synthesis in their identity (Skurdal, 1994, Pensgård & Sørensen, 1999). Empowerment is defined as ?the process by which individuals develop skills and abilities to gain control over their lives and to take action to improve their life situation? (Gutierrez, 1990). In a framework for research on empowerment in disability sport (Pensgaard & Sorensen, 2000), it is suggested that identity is a mediator of individual empowerment. In this presentation the role of athletic identity will be explored in relation to empowerment. Qualitative study: An expert panel consisting of five athletes (four men and one woman, all white) with considerable experience from top-level sport, other competitive sport and recreational exercise took part in this study. Positive and negative contributions of the sport context to the identity formation were identified. The benefits of integration in sport seemed to vary with the stage in the identity formation process, the degree and severity of the disability, as well as type of motivation for sports participation. Study of athletes in clubs: A sample of 396 athletes in Norwegian sports clubs that had experience with individuals with a disability was investigated. In the sample, 53,3% had a disability and 44,4% were without disability, 38,6% were females and 59,8% males. Mean age was 39.06 years. Measures . In a questionnaire we measured general empowerment (a general belief that people can influence their surroundings), empowerment self esteem (the individual perception of being able to take charge of one?s own life) (Rogers et al.,1997). Sports ? based empowerment (how much one believe that sport contribute to empowerment) was measured by a scale developed by Sørensen & Pensgaard (1999). Athletic identity was measured by the Athletic identity scale developed by Brewer, van Raalte and Linder (1993). Results. The male athletes with a disability scored demonstrated the highest empowerment, scores, but there were significant differences among the various types of disability. Females scored lower on athletic identity, but there were no gender differences on the empowerment measures. A multivariate ANOVA analysis demonstrated that in a model with the empowerment measures and athletic identity, competitive level, disability and sex, 8% of the variance in general empowerment, 18% of the variance in empowerment self-esteem and 28% of the variance in sports-empowerment was explained. Athletic identity had a significant effect on empowerment self esteem (df=1, F= 13,819, p>.001) and sports empowerment

Formålet var å undersøke det fysiske aktivitetsnivået hos pasienter som har tilbud om fysisk aktivitet som del av sin behandling, å undersøke hva slags fysisk aktivitet denne gruppa driver med og hvilke erfaringer de hadde med fysisk aktivitet. Høy grad av selv-bestemmelse ( indre motivasjon) i forhold til fysisk aktivitet ga høye odds for å være aktiv, og var assosiert med reduksjon av symptomer ved utøvelse av aktivitet. Nesten 60% hadde et selv skjema som fysisk aktiv. Dette ga økte odds for å være fysisk aktiv og var assosiert med reduksjon av symptomer. Selv om denne gruppa hadde erfaring med fysisk aktivitet, hadde opptil 40% ikke et slikt selv-skjema, noe som viser at det fremdeles er mye som bør gjøres for å øke motivasjon gjennom å utvikle både indre motivasjon og selv-skjema som fysisk aktiv.

Psychological Empowerment through the Sport Context,

Vis sammendrag
Sport has been criticized for being overly focused on performance enhancement and being indifferent to both the role of sports as a cultural practice, as well as the physical and psycho-social consequences for the athletes. An alternative perspective is to view sport in the context of empowerment. Disability sport was originally guided by a rehabilitative philosophy where the aim was to empower individuals with a disability through sport participation. The aim of the presentation is to examine aspects of the psychological empowerment in sport for individuals with and without a disability. In-depth interviews of 5 experienced athletes served as a pilot study. Data were collected by questionnaires from 248 athletes from sport clubs with experience with disabled athletes (151 with a disability, 96 without). The findings revealed that athletes with a disability reported less general empowerment than athletes without a disability, but there were no differences in sports-related empowerment. The data will be further examined and discussed in relation to mediators and moderators of empowerment.

Sport has been increasingly recognized as a means to improving the lives and health of individuals and communities. Sport and physical activity is used as a means to promote health and education in community building projects in several parts of the world. The United Nations designated 2005 to be the International year for sport and physical education with the purpose of using physical activity as a means to promote their ?thousand-year goals?. The year of sport and physical education was introduced in order to raise awareness about the value of sport to ?effectively convey messages and influence behavior as well as improving the quality of people?s lives and promote peace? (www.un.org/sport). Within this type of work sport psychology can play an important role, and this symposium will present examples of how sport psychology can contribute by: a) generating knowledge about how to engage people in healthy activities in their community, b) help creating motivating environments for at- risk youths and children, 3) create successful models for dissemination of education and knowledge about healthy behavior through sport participation.The purpose of this program was to use sports to empower individuals with visual impairments by enhancing the orientation and mobility capacities as well as their social profiles through physical activity and sport. In order to achieve this, sport and adapted physical activity was included in the educational programmes for the visually impaired of the Uganda Mobility and Rehabilitation Project (MBR). Results from a pilot project will be presented.

The potential of sport psychology to contribute to the development of individuals and societies,
26th International Congress of Applied Psychology, CD.
International Association of Applied Psychology.
Vis sammendrag
Sport psychology is a rapidly expanding field in Europe, and continues to build upon the tradition of ancient Greek philosophy in studying the relationship between the body and the mind. Sport psychology is concerned with the study of psychological and mental factors that influence and are influenced by participation in physical activity in general, in sport, exercise and physical education. Sport psychology is also concerned with the application of such knowledge to various settings. Sport psychology draws upon knowledge from psychology, movement science, and sport, exercise and physical education practice. Contrary to common belief, sport psychology is not solely concerned with elite sport and performance enhancement. The high visibility of elite sports often leads to this impression. However, the greatest potential of sport psychology to contribute to the development of individuals and societies lies in the developmental perspective: i. e. the enhancement of personal development and optimizing well- being in physical activity, exercise and sport through the life span. This address will demonstrate how sport psychology is used to focus on well-being, the attainment and maintenance of a physically active life- style, psychological skill development for daily living, the enhancement of positive self perceptions, creation of positive social environments and increased motivation, satisfaction and enjoyment in various settings.

In a functional sense, disability refers to a lasting disturbance or disharmony between an individual?s resources and his\ her environment. People with disabilities are a very heterogeneous group the diversity is due to both type of disability, age of onset of the disability and personality variables. Disability is also a social construction that in general refers to an unwanted differentness (Goffman, 1963; Sherrill, 1990), even if many individuals with a disability do not feel negative about their own condition. Disability sport refers to all types of sport where individuals with a disability participate in organised sport, whether it is in an integrated or disability specific setting. Knowledge based on research in the psychological dimensions of athletes with disabilities has been said to be ? in an exploratory stage of inquiry?(Sherrill, 1990, p.357). Through this lecture we hope to demonstrate that although there are some specific aspects about different disabilities that are useful to know and be aware of when we work with sport and exercise, we must not loose sight of the fact that individuals with a disability are primarily individuals. Objectives: The students should gain understanding for and knowledge about individuals with a disability in the sport context, with a focus on psychological aspects.

Hvordan motivere til bruk av fysisk trening i psykisk helsearbeid?
Vis sammendrag
Utgangspunkt ble tatt i fem situasjonsbeskrivelser som alle demonstrerte manglende prioritering av arbeidet med fysisk aktivitet for personer med psykiske lidelser. Hvorfor er det slik? Historien preger kulturen. Før knyttet man fysisk aktivitet til fysisk arbeid, gårdsbruk osv, det var mange med psykiske lidelser som jobbet på gårdene rundt om i landet. På 50- tallet kom nye medikamenter som åpnet for samtaleterapi. Kroppen ble glemt. Dokumentasjon for at fysisk aktivitet hjelper på psykiske lidelser ble presentert. Et viktig aspekt er at fysisk aktivitet kan hjelpe med å styrke ressurser hos den enkelte, som helsefremmende tiltak. I et slikt perspektiv kan fysisk aktivitet også brukes som mental trening og styrking av mentale og sosiale ferdigheter. For å få til økt aktivitet trengs det samarbeid og motivering på både samfunnsplan, institusjonsplan og individuelt plan og eksempler på dette ble gitt. Idrettens rolle ligger først og fremst i inkludering og tilrettelegging for fysisk aktivitet. Lage gode eksempler og profilere de godt, og gi støtte og oppfølging til lagene samt utfordre kommunen og tilby samarbeid.

Etter en gjennomgang av nyere data om barns psykososiale helse og fysiske aktivitet i dagens samfunn, ble studier som viser sammenhenger mellom fysisk aktivitet/inaktivtet og psykososiale problemer presentert. Videre ble dokumentasjon for helsefremmende aspekter ved fysisk aktivitet for barn gjennomgått. I siste del av foredraget ble det sett på kunnskapsgrunnlaget for å stimulere barns motivasjon for fysisk aktivitet, og foreldres og helsevesenets rolle ble diskutert.

Er kontakt mellom folk og hester sunt - for folk og hester?
Vis sammendrag
Flere studier har pekt mot positive helsegevinster av kontakt med dyr for mennesker, de fleste dreier seg om mindre dyr som hund og katt. Det har vært relativt mindre oppmerksomhet omkring hest. Dette foredraget vil derfor se på følgende: Framkommer det forskjeller i noen helseindikatorer i en befolkningsundersøkelse ut fra ulik grad av kontakt med hest i fritida?Hva viser studier av psykososiale aspekter ved aktivitet med hest? Hva vet vi om hestens helse når den arbeider som terapeut? Data for å besvare det førtste spørmålet var hentet fra en helseundersøkelse gjennomført av Nasjonalt Folkehelseinstitutt i samarbeid med kommunene i Hedmark og Oppland. De som hadde kontakt med hest i fritiden hadde for kvinner og menn signifikant lavere blodtrykk og for kvinner mindre fysiske sykdommer. Menn hadde imidlertid noe mer muskel/skjelett merter. For psykiske helseindikatorer var det ingen signifikante forskjeller for menn, mens kvinner rapporterte mer positive følelser og mindre bruk av medisiner for psykiske plager jo mer kontakt med hest. De som hadde kontakt med hest var mer fysisk aktive. Nyere studier av psykososiale effekter av rideterapi for barn har demonstrert signifikant redukasjon i sinne og mindre antisosial atferd . Studier av hestens helse tyder på at for de fleste hester er ridning med fysisk - og psykisk funksjonshemmede barn ikke var mer stressende enn ridning med barn uten funksjonshemning, men risiko- barn kan se ut til å være en mulig kilde til stress hos noen hester.
