  • Research summary

    The research is part of a third year Psychology project at Loughborough University. It will look at the extent to which individuals experience negative emotion following a sports injury. It will also consider whether individuals use methods to cope with this emotion, how much social support individuals have, whether individuals consider themselves to be an athlete and the severity of the injury in order to see if these factors predicts the amount of negative emotion experienced.
