Identifying the psyching-up strategies used in strength sports: a concept mapping approach
Cusimano, K., Freeman, D. P., Moran, D. J.Published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (2025)“…Similarity matrix generation, multidimensional scaling, and hierarchical cluster analysis were used to produce visual cluster maps, which identified 8 separate clusters of psyching-up strategies: "pre-performance routines"; "positive thoughts, feelings, images, and behaviors"; "goals and performance accomplishments"; "self-deprecation"; "negative thoughts, feelings, images, and behaviors"; "stimulation"; "physical and physiological techniques"; and "aggressive acts". Participants ranked "pre-performance routines" as being the most effective psyching-up strategy, with males reporting significantly higher ratings for "self-deprecation"; "negative thoughts, feelings, images, and behaviors"; "stimulation"; and "aggressive acts". …”
