<![CDATA[This study aims to investigate the motivations for learning Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PE) among high school students from a gender perspective. The basis of this study is the importance of motivation as a key factor in student engagement, persistence, and academic achievement. This study is distinct from prior research, predominantly conducted at the elementary and junior high school levels, as it concentrates on high school and employs the Indonesian version of the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) instrument, validated for its reliability and validity.. This research adopts a descriptive quantitative methodology, with a sample selected through stratified random sampling, including both male and female students from State Senior High School 2 Majalaya. Data analysis was carried out through descriptive tests, normality tests, non-parametric Mann-Whitney tests, and effect size tests. The results showed no significant differences in PE learning motivation between male and female students. This finding is reinforced by the very Senior High School effect size, so the role of gender on learning motivation can be said to be limited. Thus, student learning motivation is more influenced by external factors such as learning methods, teacher support, and the learning environment. This research is expected to contribute to the literature on PE learning motivation as well as practical recommendations for teachers in designing more inclusive learning.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the effect of brief mindfulness psychoeducation on the emotional regulation abilities of sports coaching students. The background of this study is based on the importance of emotional regulation in the context of coaching education, where students are required to maintain emotional stability when facing academic pressure and interacting with athletes. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest model. The research subjects consisted of 20 sports coaching students at the Indonesia University of Education, selected through purposive sampling. The instrument used was the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) to measure the aspects of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. The intervention in the form of brief mindfulness psychoeducation was carried out over six sessions in three weeks, with material covering conscious breathing, light meditation, and awareness in daily activities. Data analysis used a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant increase in cognitive reappraisal (p < 0.05) and a significant decrease in expressive suppression (p < 0.05). Thus, brief mindfulness psychoeducation proved effective in improving the emotional regulation of physical education students, particularly in their ability to reinterpret emotional situations and reduce the tendency to suppress emotional expression. This study provides practical recommendations for educational institutions to integrate mindfulness psychoeducation programs as part of the emotional competency development of student trainers.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the relationship between sleep disturbances and mood swings in sports students. Sleep disturbances are known to affect cognitive function, physical performance, and an individual's psychological state, particularly in adolescents undergoing developmental transitions. The study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 50 students majoring in Sports Science at the Indonesian University of Education, consisting of 27 males and 23 females aged 19–20 years. The instruments used included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to measure sleep quality and the Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) to assess mood. Data analysis was performed using a correlation test using SPSS version 26. The results showed that the majority of respondents experienced negative moods (78.6%), with tension and fatigue items being the most dominant. However, no significant relationship was found between sleep quality and mood swings (p > 0.05). This finding indicates that other factors such as lifestyle, academic stress, and social environment have the potential to have a greater influence on the mood of sports students. Further research with a larger sample size is recommended to deepen the understanding of the relationship between sleep disturbances and students' psychological state. ]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to assess the quality of management services at the SGS PLN Bandung Badminton Club by utilizing the SERVQUAL model, which consists of five main aspects: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. Using a quantitative method and a descriptive correlational design, the study objectively captures the athletes' perspectives while examining the relationships between those service dimensions. The research population includes all active athletes participating in the club's training activities, with a purposive sample of 23 respondents who have been involved in training for at least one year. The data collection instrument is a SERVQUAL questionnaire adapted for the sports context, based on the study by Cristobal Fransi and colleagues in 2010. The validity test results show that all questionnaire items are valid (r values ranging from 0.510 to 0.885 with p < 0.05) and highly reliable (Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.963). From the descriptive analysis, it can be seen that the overall quality of the club's services is quite satisfactory, with the best scores in the aspects of tangibles and empathy—which indicates that the physical facilities and attention to athletes are already quite good—while responsiveness received the lowest score, suggesting that the response to athletes' needs needs improvement. Ultimately, the club management has been running well, but responsiveness and assurance need to be strengthened to enhance athletes' satisfaction and trust. ]]>

<![CDATA[Football referees play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and smooth running of matches, yet they frequently face social and emotional pressure from players, coaches, and spectators, which can trigger psychosocial stressors. Environmental pressure and repeated verbal or physical aggression can potentially lead to emotional exhaustion and burnout, ultimately impacting the referee's psychological well-being and performance on the field. This study aims to analyze the relationship between psychosocial stressors, including environmental pressure and aggression, and burnout levels among football referees in Bandung. The research approach used was a quantitative correlational approach with a cross-sectional design. The results showed that environmental pressure had a significant positive relationship with emotional exhaustion (ρ= 0.666; p < 0.01) and cynicism (ρ= 0.400; p < 0.01). In addition, aggression is also significantly related to emotional exhaustion (ρ= 0.388; p < 0.01), but was not related to professional efficacy (ρ= 0.062; p = 0.671). These findings indicate that the higher the social pressure and aggression experienced, the greater the likelihood of referees experiencing burnout, especially in the emotional dimension. Therefore, psychological counseling programs, stress management training, and ongoing social support are needed for referees to maintain their mental well-being and professionalism.]]>

<![CDATA[This study tried to probe possible differences in mental toughness between female musicians and female athletes as an approach toward better understanding the concept of psychological resilience across different performance contexts. The sample population consisted of sixty females from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia: thirty athletes coming from the Faculty of Sports and Health Education (Faculty of Sports and Health Education) and another group of thirty musicians belonging to the Faculty of Art and Design Education (FPSD). Data were collected through the use of the Mental Toughness Questionnaire 18 (MTQ18) which duly described emotional control, self-belief, motivation, confidence, and challenge. Above all other specific requisites, this instrument rated high with excellent construct and content validity in earlier studies. A descriptive comparison analysis showed that musicians were less mentally tough overall (M = 58.80, SD = 3.68) than athletes (M = 64.50, SD = 5.24). It is in the motivation and emotional control components where the widest gaps are seen-with higher internal drive and better emotional regulation among athletes. Much more slightly tilted toward the athlete’s side, the ratings of challenge between the two groups were almost identical. Results of this study support a claim that performing arts environments develop less psychological flexibility compared to controlled competitive sports environments because artistic domains emphasize creativity and expression. This study enhances understanding of the psychological rigidity of women and at the same time helps offset the gender bias that has informed past studies. Practical ramifications include the development of domain-specific mental training programs, for example, goal-setting and stress management training for athletes as well as emotional control techniques for musicians which can be derived from this study. Limitations include a small sample size based on self-reported data without subgroup analysis. More comprehensive studies with larger samples composed of different groups are required in addition to long-term studies to trace the development of mental toughness in various fields of performance. ]]>
