Emotional contagion in soccer penalty shootouts: Celebration of individual success is associated with ultimate team success.<\/p>Emotional contagion in soccer penalty shootouts: Celebration of individual success is associated with ultimate team success.<\/p>
“We examined the association between celebratory responses after successful soccer penalty kicks and the outcome of a penalty shootout. Individually displayed post-shot behaviours in penalty shootouts held in World Cups and European Championships (N = 151) were rated on the presence of universally distinct and recognizable behaviours associated with positive emotions.<\/span> Using chi-square analyses we investigated which behaviours were associated with winning the shootout, when the relative standing between the teams was equal. Players who engaged in certain celebratory post-shot behaviours were more likely to be in the team that ultimately won the penalty shootout. In particular, celebrations including both arms were associated with winning the shootout. <\/strong>It was more likely that the next kick taken by an opponent was missed after a player displayed these behaviours after a goal than when he did not. The findings are interpreted in terms of emotional contagion – that is, the transference of emotions from individuals onto teammates and opponents. It is suggested that the individual expression of post-performance emotions serves a direct purpose in enhancing future team performance and that emotional contagion is an important process in the context of elite sport performance.”<\/p> Image: flickr\/<\/em>popofatticus<\/em><\/a><\/p> Related content: WTF is NCBI ROFL?
