Emotional intelligence in sport : a predictor of rugby performanceKnobel, Daniël Pieter 11 1900 (has links)
A study was conducted on 74 school first- and second-team rugby players from four Pretoria high
schools, to investigate whether start-up A-team players differ significantly from other (B-team
start-up and reserve) players on emotional intelligence. It was further investigated whether
emotional intelligence is a predictor of rugby performance if measured as being included into the
study’s ‘best team’ or being a start-up A-team school rugby player. Various other physical,
psychological, social and spiritual predictors were also investigated singularly and in combination
with the emotional intelligence predictor to indicate performance. Data were gathered through a
self-reporting questionnaire developed by the researcher. The main methods for analysing data
used included the Mann-Whitney Test and the Logistic Regression analysis. The study found
certain spiritual and social predictor aspects to be significantly related to performance in rugby
but not emotional intelligence. Certain underlying emotional aspects where more significant to
the study’s B-team players’ performance. / Spiritual aspects / M.A. (Psychology)

The Ideology of Stadium Construction: A Historical Sociology Model of Power and ControlCoombs, Donald L. 07 December 2015 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The Ideology of Stadium Construction seeks to define the application of community power in the process of building sports stadiums. Using data culled from a literature review, this project examines the recent construction of sports venues and the political, economic, and social ideas driving their proliferation. A three dimensional approach to applied power provides a theoretical tool to illustrate and analyze the blueprint of stadium construction. Taking a more broad view of the culture of business in the United States suggests the public funding of stadium construction arching towards Antonio Gramsci’s sense of hegemony. Beyond attempting to merely define the political process driving stadium construction as a significant social problem, this project introduces potential alternatives to the organizational method currently in place.

Hysteria on the Hardwood: A Narrative History of Community, Race, and Indiana's "Basketbrawl" TraditionEskew, Kelly R. January 2012 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / In 1964, Muncie Central High School got the “death penalty” at the hands of the Indiana High School Athletic Association’s (IHSAA) new commissioner, Phil N. Eskew, after post-game brawling at a boys basketball game led to a broader investigation of the entire program. In the closing moments of the game, a Muncie Central opponent was bloodied by an inbound pass to the face and fans erupted in violence, swarming the floor. The ensuing investigation revealed racial tensions, issues of sexual mores, political discord, and deep problems in the web of interrelationships that make up the phenomenon of Hoosier Hysteria. After a closed-door hearing and two days of deliberations, Eskew and the IHSAA Board of Control announced their decision, and the punishment prescribed made front page headlines across the state and beyond.
