Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.
