The School of Kinesiology’s associate director and professor Diane Wiese-Bjornstal, PhD, director and professor Beth Lewis, PhD, and research associate Katie Schuver, PhD, published chapters in the two volume set of the APA Handbook of Sport and Exercise Psychology.

Wiese-Bjornstal published a chapter in Volume 1: Sport Psychology titled “Psychological Predictors and Consequences of Injuries in Sport Settings.” Lewis and Schuver co-published the chapter titled “Primary Research Dimensions of Exercise Psychology,” in Volume 2: Exercise Psychology.

The APA Handbook of Sport and Exercise Psychology presents new areas of research and links theory with emerging practice to reflect the latest developments in this constantly changing field.

The 77 chapters provide extensive coverage of conceptual frameworks and models, empirical findings, and practical interventions. Additionally, many chapters discuss topics not addressed in other publications, such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, sleep disorders, life-span engagement in sport and physical activity, and professional ethics and governance.
