ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this study was to examine the coping strategies of skilled basketball referees. Specifically, we attempted to ascertain the manner in which basketball referees (n = 137) from the United States (n = 75) and Australia (n = 62) used problem-focused (behavioral) and emotion-focused (cognitive) techniques in responding to each of 15 acute stressors. The referees completed a self-report survey, the Basketball Officials Sources of Stress Inventory (BOSSI), in which they indicated their behavioral and emotional coping responses. U.S. and Australian samples were compared using deductive content analysis. While these data revealed more similarities between American and Australian basketball referees than differences in their manner of coping with acute stressors, cultural differences were also apparent.
