Call for Special Issues

 
The psychological interest on embodiment is documented by the numerous scientific articles published in last two decades. Not only for the ecological validity of a research, the “embodied mind” can be seen as a paradigm that could change the study of classical psychological functions: from cognitive mechanisms to relational processes. The “humanoid project” is the frontier where themes like emotional awareness, social competence and what actions can a machine realize in an uncertain world are problems faced by the neuro-cognitive sciences. From their point of view, social sciences need to go deeper in clarify how the entire human subjects interact each others, reading people intentionality, coordinating collective actions, bonding and trusting in intimate relationships, etc. Theoretical and empirical contributes are expected.

The relationship among psychological characteristics and high-level sport performance is documented in a series of scientific studies, published in last few decades. However, also very well documented finding is high level of similarity of the development of (for the sport success) relevant personality characteristics on the same level of sport excellence. For example, top basketball players have quite similar personality profiles, while those who play in second league don’t, etc. Quantitative studies mainly only confirm that fact, without providing additional useful information what are the key ‘catches’, which can differentiate the best top athletes and ‘average’ top athletes, for example first ten on the tennis ATP world list and those who are ranked from 50th to 100th place. Only the combination of quantitative and qualitative approach, theoretical and methodological as well, can provide the insight in the relationship among high-level sport performance and personality characteristics. Hence, this specific issue has the purpose to collect the theoretical and empirical contributions from the researchers, as well as practitioners from the wide fields in sport psychology, to provide the directions for efficient linking quantitative-qualitative approach at sport scientists, as well as for the practitioners (coaches, sport psychologists, etc.).
