Wiese-Bjornstal publishes in Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Psychology: Sport Psychology

Diane Wiese-Bjornstal, Ph.D., professor in the School of Kinesiology and director of the Sports Medicine Psychology Lab, has been published in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Psychology: Sport Psychology. Her chapter, “Sociocultural Aspects of Sport Injury and Recovery,” discusses the sociocultural influences that affect sport injury outcomes via interrelated sport systems extending from the intrasystem (i.e., within sports persons) through the microsystem (i.e., sport relationships), mesosystem (i.e., sport organizations), exosystem (i.e., sport governing bodies), and macrosystem (i.e., sport cultures). Affected sport injury outcomes include sport injury risks and responses during rehabilitation, return to play, and retirement from sport.
