Abstract

Although expletive use is considered taboo in most societies, expletives are commonly used in sports. However, the impact of expletives on coaching effectiveness has not received significant attention because of the unique nature of sports in which fierce competition is condoned and even encouraged.Inthe current study, the researchers aim to examine whether expletives alter the effectiveness of speeches given by coaches across genders. Collecting data from a total of 133 respondents, ANOVA demonstrated that expletive word use during halftime speeches by coaches did not play a role in diminishing the coaching effectiveness, regardless of the coach's gender and the players' gender. Additionally, male and female participants perceived expletive speech differently, and student-athletes rated the speeches as significantly more effective than the nonstudent-athletes. This study suggests practical implications for female coaches, who may consider stepping out of traditional expected roles (e.g., supportive and caring) and adopting language in coaching traditionally reserved for male coaches, given that their choice of language will not negatively impact their coaching effectiveness. However, further examination is needed for the robustness of our findings as the current study does not necessarily demonstrate an increase in effectiveness or a positive shift in perceptions from the use of expletives.

Abstract

Background and Study Aim. Despite strong evidence linking football to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), skepticism persists among athletes and sport stakeholders. Research suggests individuals often resist health information that challenges core aspects of their identity. Material and Methods. In this study, we examined whether football players demonstrate confirmation bias when evaluating CTE research and whether their responses differ by their level of athletic identification. Participants (N = 72) were randomly assigned to read either a CTE-focused article or a control article on AIDS. They then completed a questionnaire assessing article credibility and agreement with risk-related statements. To assess the potential role of identity-protective reasoning, the study also included a measure of athletic self-concept to evaluate its moderating influence on participants' interpretations. Responses were analyzed both at the group level and at the level of individual item endorsement. Results. Results showed no significant differences in credibility ratings between athlete and nonathlete groups. However, item-level analysis revealed that football players were more likely to agree that playing football is worth the risk of CTE and were less likely to support precautionary reflection. These patterns suggest that identity salience may drive selective acceptance of health information. Although football players may accept the scientific legitimacy of CTE, they interpret its implications in ways that protect their athletic identity and justify continued participation. Conclusions. The study contributes to ongoing discussions about risk rationalization, identity-protective cognition, and resistance to health messaging in athletic contexts. Findings also underscore the importance of tailoring health communication to align with the values and commitments of sport-identified populations.
