This book contains articles based on selected presentations at the 11th European
Congress of Sport Psychology, a congress arranged by the Danish
Forum of Sport Psychology and the Institute of Exercise and Sport Sciences,
University of Copenhagen, between 22 and 27 July 2003 in Copenhagen,
Denmark.1) The intention of this publication is to introduce the reader to
a selection of articles which the editors would like to summarize under the
title New Approaches to Sport and Exercise Psychology.
Despite the diversity in content and form, all the articles have been selected
on the basis of one common orientation: they contribute something new
or different to the field of sport and exercise psychology, for example, a new
epistemological understanding, a new theoretical approach, a new research
method or a new perspective on the applicability of sport psychology to
different settings in the domain of sport, games and physical activity.
