Individual propensity for reinvestment: field-based evidence for the predictive validity of three scales

Abstract

Two field-based studies were conducted to test the predictive validity of the\nReinvestment Scale, the Movement Specific Reinvestment Scale and the Decision-\nSpecific Reinvestment Scale. In Study 1, performance ratings were gathered for\nfemale university field hockey and netball players (N = 44) competing in low-pressure\ngroup games and high-pressure play-off games over the second half of a season.\nIn Study 2, passing accuracy was assessed in a group of female university netball\nplayers (N = 15) over the course of a season. Analyses of variance using group data\ncoupled with correlation and regression analyses revealed good support for the predictive\nvalidity of the Reinvestment Scale and Decision-Specific Reinvestment\nScale, with high reinvesters being more prone to skill failure under pressure. The\nresults are discussed in terms of task demands, the processes underlying skill failure,\nand the definition of choking.
