Heinemann Themes in Psychology: Psychology and Sport

Psychology and Sport looks at the key topics of interest to psychologists in this dynamic area. It examines how individual differences such as personality can affect the way sporting situations are approached, biological influences upon our behaviour that can affect whether or not we take part in sport and our likelihood of success, how mental processes influence sporting behaviour and finally, how an individual's sporting performance can be affected by social factors such as aggression.
