In many sports, such as figure skating or gymnastics, the outcome of a performance does not rely exclusively on objective measurements, but on more subjective cues. Judges need high attentional capacities to process visual information and overcome fatigue. Also their emotion recognition abilities might have an effect in detecting errors and making a more accurate assessment. Moreover, the scoring given by judges could be also influenced by their level of expertise. This study aims to assess how rhythmic gymnastics judges' emotion recognition and attentional abilities influence accuracy of performance assessment. Data will be collected from rhythmic gymnastics judges and coaches at different international levels. This study will employ an online questionnaire consisting on an emotion recognition test and attentional test. Participants' task is to watch a set of videotaped rhythmic gymnastics performances and evaluate them on the artistic and execution components of performance. Their scoring will be compared with the official scores given at the competition the video was taken from to measure the accuracy of the participants' evaluations. The proposed research represents an interdisciplinary approach that integrates cognitive and sport psychology within experimental and applied contexts. The current study advances the theoretical understanding of how emotional and attentional aspects affect the evaluation of sport performance. The results will provide valuable evidence on the direction and strength of the relationship between the above-mentioned factors and the accuracy of sport performance evaluation. Importantly, practical implications might be drawn from this study. Intervention programs directed at improving the accuracy of judges could be created based on the understanding of how emotion recognition and attentional abilities are related to the accuracy of performance assessment.
在许多运动项目中，如花样滑冰或体操，表演的结果并非仅依赖于客观测量，还取决于更主观的线索。裁判需要具备较高的注意力才能处理视觉信息并克服疲劳。此外，他们的情绪识别能力可能会对发现错误和做出更准确的评估产生影响。而且，裁判给出的评分也可能受到其专业水平的影响。本研究旨在评估艺术体操裁判的情绪识别和注意力能力如何影响表演评估的准确性。将从不同国际水平的艺术体操裁判和教练那里收集数据。本研究将采用一份在线问卷，其中包括一项情绪识别测试和一项注意力测试。参与者的任务是观看一组艺术体操表演录像，并对表演的艺术和执行部分进行评估。他们的评分将与录像所取自比赛的官方评分进行比较，以衡量参与者评估的准确性。所提出的研究代表了一种跨学科方法，将认知心理学和运动心理学整合到实验和应用背景中。当前的研究推进了对情绪和注意力方面如何影响运动表现评估的理论理解。研究结果将为上述因素与运动表现评估准确性之间关系的方向和强度提供有价值的证据。重要的是，本研究可能会得出实际应用方面的启示。基于对情绪识别和注意力能力与表演评估准确性之间关系的理解，可以制定旨在提高裁判准确性的干预计划。
