Editorial: Theory and practice of soccer psychology
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2026) Konter, Erkut; Kuan, Garry; Basevitch, Itay; Apitzsch, Erwin
Soccer is the most widely played and followed sport worldwide (Reilly and Williams, 2023). Over the past decade, soccer psychology has emerged as a rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field encompassing diverse and multifaceted domains (Konter and Loughead, 2019). Moreover, sport psychology consultation is more widely accepted and has grown immensely in the twenty-first century (Aoyagi et al., 2012). Therefore, the study of soccer psychology incorporates a broad array of topics from psychology and sport sciences (Dixson and Mitchell, 2020; Konter and Loughead, 2019). Psychological preparation in general, and coping and mental strategies in particular are increasingly being recognized as a critical determinant of success, representing a cutting-edge component in modern soccer. Many soccer teams now routinely provide sport psychology services for their athletes’ psychological preparation, health and performance enhancement (Strudwick, 2016). The demands placed on sport psychologists and consultants continue to rise within soccer clubs, Olympic teams, and national squads. Therefore, the latest soccer specific evidence-based knowledge is required (Konter and Loughead, 2019). This e-book features chapters authored by seasoned researchers and practitioners with extensive experience in soccer psychology. We are pleased to announce that our new e-book, titled Theory and practice of soccer psychology, is now published by Frontiers in Psychology. It comprises eight recent research articles, authored by international experts, covering a broad spectrum of topical areas, including mental health, cognitive development, probabilistic modeling of penalty kicks, temperament traits, gender participation, coach-athlete relationships, burnout, and athlete satisfaction. The select papers include various research designs, gender, age groups, and experience level of soccer players. The objective of this e-book is to provide the most up-to-date knowledge and cover advances in soccer psychology for sport psychology consultants, coaches, scouts, managers, researchers and students in the sport sciences.
The psychological foundations of moral disengagement: the dynamic relationships between state desperation, psychological flexibility, and mental well-being
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2026) Turan, Mehmet Behzat; Koç, Mustafa Can; Pepe, Osman; Talaghir, Laurentiu-Gabriel; Barna, Lulia Petronela; Bentea, Cristina Corina; Şahiner Güler, Vesile; Manolache, Gabriel Marian
Background: Moral disengagement has been linked to unethical behaviors in sport, yet the mechanisms through which acute psychological states, such as state desperation, influence these behaviors remain underexplored, particularly among professional athletes. Objective: This study investigated the serial mediating role of psychological flexibility and mental well-being levels in the relationship between state desperation and moral disengagement behaviors among professional footballers. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional study and included 474 voluntarily participating professional football players who played in professional leagues across Turkey in the 2024–2025 season and were selected by a convenience sampling method. Participants completed a demographic form and scales assessing state desperation, psychological flexibility, mental well-being, and moral disengagement. Data were analyzed using SPSS v22. Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationships between the variables, and regression analysis was used to assess the effect of state desperation on moral disengagement. Regression analysis based on the indirect effect approach, using the bootstrap method, was performed with the PROCESS v3.5 macro. Model 6 assessed the serial mediating effects of psychological flexibility and mental well-being. The 95% confidence interval values obtained from this analysis should not include zero. Results: The study found a negative relationship between state desperation and psychological flexibility, indicating that higher desperation is associated with reduced flexibility. Additionally, psychological flexibility was positively associated with mental well-being, while moral disengagement was positively correlated with feelings of desperation. These results suggest that individuals with a tendency to engage in desperate behavior are more likely to justify unethical actions, and improving psychological flexibility can enhance both mental health and ethical decision-making. Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of enhancing football players’ psychological flexibility and mental health to reduce moral disengagement and promote more ethical decision-making. It also shows that age, experience, and position have a significant impact on players’ performance and decision-making, underscoring the need for individual and team performance interventions.
Genetic diversity, virulence genes, and antimicrobial resistance of Moraxella bovoculi and Moraxella bovis from infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis: insights from MALDI-TOF-MS, 16S rRNA analyses, and other ocular bacteria
(Elsevier, 2026) Yalçın, Semiha; Ciğerci, İrem Sena; Özgen, Arzu; Cengiz, Şeyda
Background Moraxella bovis is the main etiological agent of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK). However, Moraxella bovoculi and other bacteria are also frequently isolated from IBK. The recurrent detection of M. bovoculi suggests a role in IBK, though its contribution remains unclear. This study aimed to characterize M. bovoculi and M. bovis isolates from IBK cases and evaluate the role of other ocular bacteria. Methods Eye swabs from cattle with keratoconjunctivitis were cultured and identified using MALDI-TOF MS, with 16S rRNA sequencing for confirmation. Virulence gene analysis targeted six genes in M. bovis (omp79, mbxA, fur, plb, pil, tolC) and three in M. bovoculi (pilA, mbvA, omp79). Antimicrobial susceptibility was evaluated using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Results Forty-seven isolates were obtained, with Moraxella spp. predominant. Fifteen were identified as M. bovoculi and nine as M. bovis. Sequencing largely confirmed MALDI-TOF results with minor discrepancies. Virulence screening showed M. bovoculi consistently carried pilA and variably mbvA and omp79, whereas M. bovis harbored a broader set (omp79, mbxA, fur, plb, pil, tolC). Antimicrobial testing indicated a reduced susceptibility trend in M. bovoculi, particularly to fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, and phenicols, whereas M. bovis exhibited a relatively higher susceptibility tendency. Furthermore, the isolation of non-Moraxella bacteria highlights their potential role as opportunistic pathogens in IBK. Conclusion Moraxella isolates from IBK exhibit marked genetic diversity and distinct virulence repertoires, with M. bovoculi showing a trend toward decreased susceptibility. The detection of additional ocular bacteria highlights the multifactorial nature of IBK. These findings underscore the need for accurate diagnostics, antimicrobial stewardship, and exploration of alternative approaches such as vaccines for controlling IBK.
Effect of a logotherapy-based psychoeducational program on interpersonal guilt, self-efficacy, and resilience in patients with schizophrenia: a quasi-experimental study
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2025) Saraya, Ola; Miqdadi, Ahmad I.; Sinnokrot, Shaban; Fashafsheh, Nawras; Ahmed, Gellan K.; Elsebaie, Safia Ragab
Background Patients suffering from schizophrenia experience significant impairments in emotional, cognitive, and social functioning, leading to reduced resilience and self-efficacy along with increased feelings of interpersonal guilt. Although pharmacological interventions help in reducing the symptoms, the existential aspects of the healing process can go unattended. The aim of the current research was to understand the effectiveness of logotherapybased psychoeducational program on interpersonal guilt, self-efficacy, and resilience in schizophrenia patients. Methods In this quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study, the effectiveness of a logotherapy-based psychoeducational program was tested using a seven-week, 13-session program, administered to 45 stable patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Arabic-validated instruments were used to measure resilience, self-efficacy, and interpersonal guilt. Results The results showed that there were significant increases in the variables of resilience, t (44)=4.956, p<. .001, Cohen’s d=0.91, after the completion of the intervention. The results also revealed that interpersonal guilt failed to achieve statistical significance, t (44)=1.388, p=.172, Cohen’s d=0.21, after the completion of the intervention. There was a strong positive relationship between the variables of resiliency and self-efficacy, r=.749, p<. 001. There were no significant relationships between the variables of resiliency and interpersonal guilt, or between the variables of self-efficacy and interpersonal guilt. Conclusions Meaning-centered interventions seem to be a valuable tool in boosting adaptive psychological resources, such as resilience and self-efficacy, in people with schizophrenia. The failure to improve interpersonal guilt suggests that the problem could need a considerably different type of therapeutic approach that focuses on metacognitive issues. The integration of existentially oriented psychoeducation in the treatment appears potentially valuable in assisting the patient in finding their personal meaning, in conjunction with other treatments. The longterm stability and the combination with other treatments in order to approach the issue of interpersonal guilt could be the next step in researching these issues.
