SPORT AND PERSONALITY - RESEARCH EVOLUTION The 1970s/1980s and the Paralysis of Research Activities  A decrease in studies related to "sport and personality" during the 1980s in German-speaking countries.  A similar trend in Anglo-American countries with a focus on personality traits and sport commitment or performance.  Promising paths identified by Vealey (1989) to overcome the research stagnation. Promising Paths to Overcome the "Dead-End Balance" 1. Paradigm shift from static trait concepts to interactionist concepts. 2. Differentiation into structural and dynamic issues, although intervention studies were still limited. 3. Methodological improvements, including multivariate evaluation strategies. Anglo-American Focus on Personality Traits and Sport Commitment  The majority of personality research in the Anglo-American context focused on the influence of personality traits on sport commitment or performance (selection hypothesis).  Little attention given to the influence of sport on personality (socialization hypothesis).  Limited longitudinal and intervention studies on the topic.  Challenges in methodology and design. Recent Exception: Stephan et al. (2014)  A study on the influence of sport on personality development in later life.  Ambiguous results due to methodological limitations.  The need for more comprehensive research designs. Resurgence of "Sport and Personality" Research in German-Speaking Countries (Early 1990s)  Response to criticisms of earlier studies from the 1950s to 1970s.  Shift toward cognitive approaches and a developmental perspective. 14.4 Studies on Self-Concept Development Through Sport  The shift from static traits to cognitive approaches and its impact on research.  The significance of self-concept in behavior regulation and decision-making.  The hierarchical structure of the "self-concept model."  The importance of a differentiated and positively colored self-concept for healthy personality development.  The potential malleability of self-concept through sport-related interventions.
