Interactive effects of emotions on performance: an exploratory study in elite skeet shooters

Montse C. Ruiz, Yuri L. Hanin

Abstract

This study explored interactive effects of multiple emotions on performance (outcomes) in three male elite skeet shooters. Recalled emotional experiences associated to successful and poor performances and to current (actual) performances were measured using the aggregated Emotional State Profile-40 scale (ESP-40; Hanin, 2010b). Current performance involved 20 series of 25 shots. The results provide support for the practical utility of ESP-40 in the assessment of interactive effects of four emotion categories on performance. Recalled measures were instrumental in the prediction of current performances. The utility of ordinal logistic regression-based estimation is discussed.
