| Abstract: | Cognitive mechanisms and football performance
Previous research has proven the Defence Mechanism
Test (DMT) to be valid for selection of personnel for
dangerous tasks. The aim of the present study was to
investigate the relationship between defense mechanisms
and soccer players' performance in a non-dangerous
but stressful setting. A total of 18 female
Norwegian football players were rated as «high» or
«low defenders» as measured by the DMT. In
addition, the players' reaction times and level of
performance were estimated. Players with low defense
mechanisms were significantly more likely to be
classified as good players. In addition, low score on
the DMT was associated with fast reaction times. |
