1	Stress as a source of injury among a group of professional ballet dancers Dennill, Ingrid 11 1900 (has links) Sport and dance injuries have increased despite improvements in coaching techniques and medical care. Other factors, including psychological ones, were therefore thought to play a role in injury vulnerability. Most of the attempts to explain how psychological variables can affect an athlete's predisposition to injury have been based on anxiety or stress concepts. In this survey type study an interactive approach to stress has been adopted with the goal of finding a relationship between stress and injury in a group of professional ballet dancers. No simple direct relationship was found. Multiple regression analysis was performed and a more complicated relationship between stress indicators and injury was found. When an attempt was made to investigate the significant interaction, no significant correlations were found. However, the correlations were found to be large and negative. This could indicate that if the sample size had been larger significant correlations may have been found. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology) Survey Nonrandom sample Criterion variable-injury Predictor variable-stress Pearson product moment correlations Principle component analysis Multiple regression Descriptive statistics Content analysis Healthier dancer questionnaire Daily hassles and uplifts scale 155.9042 Life change events Stress -- Psychology -- Etiology Stress -- Physiology -- Prevention Stress -- Physiology -- Research Ballet dancers Sports injuries -- Psychological aspects Sports medicine Healthier dancer questionnaire Daily hassle and uplift scale Stress (Physiology) -- Measurement.
