Penalty-taking performance in handball within a self-regulatory focus framework was examined. In a two-independent group design, regulatory framings (either promotion or prevention) were given to participants (N = 25) prior to penalty-taking. More precisely, Swedish male (n = 15) and female (n = 10) players of the third male and second female Swedish Leagues were randomly allocated to shoot three penalties each under either a promotion-framed (n = 13; Mage = 20.77, SD = 3.77 years) or a prevention-framed (n = 12; Mage = 19.25, SD = 2.09 years) condition. Positive and negative affect were measured to assess pre-performance emotional states. Findings showed that promotion–focused individuals performed better in a promotion– framed penalty (i.e. fit) than in a prevention–framed (i.e. mismatch). Moreover, when in regulatory fit, pre-performance positive emotions were reported to be greater than when in mismatch. Findings are discussed in terms of role of fit and emotional states in pressureperformance critical situations. / Straffläggnings prestation i handboll inom ett själv-regulatoriskt fokus-ramverk undersöktes. I en två-oberoende grupps design, regulatorisk inramning (antingen promotion eller prevention) gavs till deltagarna (N = 25) innan straffläggning. Mer exakt, svenska manliga (n = 15) och kvinnliga (n = 10) spelare från den manliga tredje och kvinnliga andra svenska divisionen var slumpmässigt tilldelade att skjuta tre straffar under antingen en promotion-inramad (n = 13; Målder = 20.77, SD = 3.77 år) eller prevention-inramad (n = 12; Målder = 19.25, SD = 2.09 år) straffsituation. Mätningar av positiva och negativa affekter bedömde pre-prestation emotionella tillstånd. Resultaten visade att promotions-fokuserade individer presterade bättre i en promotion-inramning straffsituation (fit) än i en prevention-inramning straffsituation (mismatch). Dessutom när i regulatoriskt-fit, rapporterades positiva emotioner högre än i mismatch. Resultaten är diskuterade i förhållande till rollen av fit och emotionella tillstånd i prestation-under-press kritiska situationer
