Expert Performance
Authors: Baker Joe , Young Brad 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Although public discourse about the origins of exceptional performance can be traced to Plato, it was not until the 1800s and the work of Francis Galton that scientific approaches to this outcome were first conceptualized. Since his initial work, discussions around the notion of talent and innate ability have increased considerably. This chapter explores current, notable questions from the field of expert performance, ranging from (a) theoretical issues such as how best to conceptualize the influence of the myriad nature-and-nurture variables on athlete development and (b) measurement issues including how to best determine the value of specific forms of practice or replicate the unique constraints of the performance environment in laboratory settings to (c) practical issues regarding how to best engage athlete development stakeholders to identify the next series of “unknowns” to advance understanding of expert performance and its development.
Decision-Making
Authors: Basevitch Itay , Tenenbaum Gershon 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Decision-making (DM) has been studied from two main perspectives: cognitive and ecological. Findings indicate that experts have advanced DM skills that enhance performance. The underlying mechanisms of DM skills relate to the attention and anticipation capacities to function without interruption under pressure of time and to counter various sources of stress (e.g., self-regulation and coping strategies). There are still many questions that must be addressed to fully account for the DM process and apply the findings in a real-world environment. The most urgent questions relate to the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying DM, team DM processes, training and measuring DM, making creative decisions, and comprehending the process of coaches’ DM during competitive conditions and other real-life situations.
Group Dynamics
Authors: Filho Edson , Leo Francisco Miguel 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
This chapter puts forth five research questions on group dynamics in sport, exercise, and performance psychology. Specifically, it proposes that future research should explore the antecedents of key team processes and seek to evolve an integrated and parsimonious theory of team dynamics linking cohesion, team mental models, collective efficacy, transactive memory systems, coordination, and team performance. The chapter suggests that future research should clarify the key individual and team-level mechanisms associated with the development of resilient teams, and how team resilience differs from other team processes. Furthermore, it proposes that novel research using psychophysiological monitoring and big analytic methodologies is needed to advance understanding of physiological and neural markers underpinning team processes and outcomes. Finally, the chapter suggests that advancing research on multibrain monitoring will allow for the development of shared (multiperson) bio- and neurofeedback interventions.
Affective Responses to Exercise
Authors: Ekkekakis Panteleimon , Hartman Mark E. 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Textbooks of exercise psychology describe the relation between exercise and affect with the statement that “exercise makes people feel better.” However, this seems at odds with evidence that most people are not physically active. Reinvestigating this relation with an updated methodology, researchers have found that the “feel better” effect of exercise is present but conditional and that affective responses can predict subsequent physical activity. The following five questions are expected to inspire research in the coming years. First, what are the mechanisms of the “feel better” and “feel worse” responses? Second, how can we improve the affective experience of exercise? Third, how do affective experiences shape memories of exercise? Fourth, can affect-related messages replace traditional exercise promotion campaigns focusing on health benefits? Fifth, how do affective and reflective processes interact in determining exercise behavior?
Career Transitions and Change
Authors: Samuel Roy David 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Over the last decade, the athlete’s career transition literature has shifted from a deterministic (or linear) to a probabilistic (nonlinear) perspective. Athletes’ careers can be perceived as a roller coaster ride, shaped by transitions (i.e., normative, nonnormative, quasi-normative, dual career, cultural, crisis), a change-event, appraisals, decision-making, coping, and environmental influences. Athletes can enjoy a fruitful and meaningful career as long as they positively adapt to the various transitional periods and changes encountered, potentially creating multiple career pathways. Furthermore, research has expanded to additional sport performers, including coaches and referees. Finally, the lives of sport performers have tremendously changed in the past decade as a result of the globalization process, social media, and migration, requiring career researchers to modify existing conceptualizations. This chapter, therefore, provides a critical examination of the recent developments in the career transition and change literature, mainly focusing on critical questions to be asked and a prospective view of this field.
Injury and Concussion
Authors: Podlog Leslie , Podlog Stefanie , Caron Jeffrey G. 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Research on the psychological aspects of sport injury has flourished over the past 30 years. Evidence suggests that a variety of intra- (e.g., stress, motivation, self-efficacy beliefs) and interpersonal (e.g., patient-practitioner relationships, social support) factors play a key role in injury risk, rehabilitation, and return to play. In the present chapter, we first synthesize cutting-edge research on psychological factors influencing musculoskeletal and concussive injury risk, rehabilitation, and return to play. We argue that scholarship on the psychological aspects of sport injuries has traditionally been siloed and/or limited in focus. The second section of the chapter expounds upon five major research questions designed to advance theory, methods, and injury-related practice. These research questions are put forth in the hope that they can contribute to the continued growth and interest in research around the psychological aspects of musculoskeletal and concussive injury.
Supervision
Authors: Tod David , Eubank Martin , McEwan Hayley E , Chandler Charlotte , Lafferty Moira 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
This chapter reviews research on supervision. Descriptive investigations document practices, obstacles, and both supervisors’ and supervisees’ expectations and experiences in supervision. Related studies reveal how trainees develop personally and professionally as they gain applied experience. Topics that will advance knowledge include exploring (a) the amounts and types of supervision trainees and practitioners receive, (b) the optimal ways to match models of supervision with trainees’ development needs, (c) the ways to train supervisors effectively, (d) the active ingredients in supervision, and (e) the influences and challenges of culture and context on supervision. Research on these topics will inform educators’ and supervisors’ efforts to help trainees and practitioners attain the competencies needed to help clients, build satisfying careers, and contribute to enhancing sport and exercise psychology’s role in the sporting world.
Love Dances
Authors: Kwan SanSan 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Our current geopolitical moment is characterized by shockingly aggressive forms of xenophobia and racism. This alarming, though not new, predicament compels us to seek creative modes for resisting hatred and encouraging care across difference. Love Dances: Loss and Mourning in Intercultural Collaboration explores the possibilities for global interrelationality in the realm of dance. The book contends that performances of interculturalism in dance offer opportunities for practicing intersubjective connection. Body-to-body engagement in the studio and on the stage carries the potential to shape everyday encounters with difference in the world. Looking specifically at duets, Love Dances examines how pairs of dance artists from unique cultural and aesthetic backgrounds—from Asia, the Asian diaspora, and the West; trained in contemporary dance, hip-hop, flamenco, Thai classical dance, kabuki, and butoh—find ways to co-create, in spite of contention, histories of power, misunderstanding, and mistranslation. Love Dances explores the ethics and politics of intercultural collaboration, acknowledging the forces of dissension, prejudice, and violence present in any contact zone, but ultimately arguing that choreographic invention across difference can be an act of love in the face of loss and serve as a model for difficult, imaginative, compassionate global affiliation.
Introduction
Authors: Kwan SanSan 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
The introduction draws upon the author’s personal experience with loss to introduce the key concerns of the book. It lays out a brief history of intercultural discourse in dance and theater and positions the work of the book in the conversations around “new interculturalism.” It introduces the East-West dance duets that will be studied in the book and considers the main expressive modes operational in these duets—talking, choreography, and improvisation—asking questions about the efficaciousness of these various approaches. The introduction acknowledges that the politics of loss, failure, and refusal are constitutive operations in any intercultural collaboration, reviewing relevant literature in racial melancholy, Afro-pessimism, and queer negativity. Likewise referencing scholarship on the ethics of intersubjectivity, as well as theories of love, intimacy, community, and friendship, however, the chapter ultimately posits loving as the central condition for cross-cultural understanding. Finally, it argues that intercultural collaboration requires the third space of the viewer in order for the work to effectively exemplify the ethics and politics of intercultural exchange and point toward an aesthetics of decolonization.
Mourning
Authors: Kwan SanSan 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Chapter 2 examines two duets in which cultural miscomprehension occurs alongside personal expressions of loss. It begins with a discussion of Flash, a duet between Rennie Harris, a popper, and Michael Sakamoto, a butoh artist. Flash is compared to Simulacrum, a duet between an Argentinian contemporary dancer who also studies kabuki and a Japanese dancer famous for flamenco. Analyzing both works’ multimodal incorporation of dancing and talking, this chapter demonstrates how the grief the artists disclose to each other and the conjunctions and disjunctions they find in the different forms of danced mourning they practice result in a moving expression of cross-cultural empathy, an impetus toward understanding in the face of the incommensurability of tragedy.
Loving
Authors: Kwan SanSan 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
The third chapter of the book turns to love as the motivation to connect, even in the face of incommensurability. It examines two more duets: Spiel, an improvised partnership between Vietnamese French choreographer Emmanuelle Huynh and Japanese butoh artist Kasai Akira; and Talking Duet, a talking and dancing improvisation between Huynh and another Japanese, butoh-inspired choreographer, Otake Eiko. These are messy, experimental, loving collaborations. The chapter notes the artists’ exceptional commitment to the complicated work of connecting. Huynh is deeply aware of the failures, the losses, the refusals, and the miscomprehensions that happen in collaboration, as well as attentive to the fragility and impermanence of living. It is her persistence through continual loving acts of not-knowing that makes these collaborations meaningful.
Controlling the Wandering Mind
Authors: Touron Dayna R. 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Older adults typically report less mind wandering compared to young adults, both in responses to thought probes that interrupt laboratory tasks and in experience sampling studies during everyday activities. Possible explanations for older adults’ reduced mind wandering include factors related to affect as well as task interest and engagement. Older adults also show differences in the content of off-task thoughts. Whereas younger people typically report thoughts about internal sensations (often hunger or fatigue) or daydreams, older people report evaluative thoughts about their task performance. Older adults’ greater tendency to monitor their task performance suggests that they are more motivated or concerned about performing well. Regular spontaneous performance monitoring may improve metacognitive accuracy; age-related increases in evaluative thoughts may contribute to findings that older adults’ monitoring abilities are largely spared with aging. Older adults’ tendency to reflect on their task performance may improve their strategic approach to cognitive tasks.
Negotiating Democracy and Religious Pluralism
Authors: Kaviraj Sudipta , Naresh Vatsal 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Negotiating Democracy and Religious Pluralism examines the relationship between the functioning of democracy and the prior existence of religious plurality in three societies outside the West: India, Pakistan, and Turkey. In the introduction, editors Karen Barkey, Sudipta Kaviraj, and Vatsal Naresh frame the theoretical and historical context of each country’s transition from imperial statehood to modern democratic regime. In the subsequent chapters, contributors examine various trajectories of political thought, state policy, and the exercise of social power during and following a transition to democracy, and, reflexively, the political categories that shape our understanding of these concepts in South Asia and Turkey.
Itineraries of Democracy and Religious Plurality
Authors: Barkey Karen , Kaviraj Sudipta , Naresh Vatsal 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
In the introduction, volume editors Karen Barkey, Sudipta Kaviraj, and Vatsal Naresh introduce the key question of the collection: how does a society’s history of religious pluralism affect its transition to and experience of democracy; and reflexively, how do democratic institutions and society shape the prospects of religious accommodation? The editors frame the theoretical and historical context of the transition from imperial statehood to modern democratic rule in India, Pakistan, and Turkey. They discuss democracy, plurality, religious pluralism, and identity, and propose a thorough appreciation of the deep heterogeneity embedded in each concept. The introduction proceeds to outline the arc of the volume, describing the various essays in the volume.
Liberalism and the Path to Treason in the Ottoman Empire, 1908–1923
Authors: Philliou Christine 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
This chapter looks at the final decade of the Ottoman Empire to examine the way that liberalism went from being part of the sensibility and worldview of an elitist Ottoman establishment, to a term of opprobrium as the Committee of Union and Progress took up the reins of power in the Ottoman government and state. While in recent years the discussion of pluralism has focused on how one state, as a unitary actor, has treated confessional or ethnic minorities, I show here that the very question of political pluralism was the source of a fissure in the Ottoman establishment, and ultimately a cause of conflict as the empire was dissolved and the Kemalist Republic was established.
Is Turkey a Postsecular Society?
Authors: Altınordu Ateş 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
This chapter investigates democratic politics and religious pluralism in contemporary Turkey through the lens of the concept of “postsecular society.” The author first reconstructs Habermas’s notion of postsecular society as an ideal type and proposes three criteria by which one can identify postsecular formations: secular differentiation, committed pluralism, and complementary learning processes. He then utilizes this framework to investigate relations between religion, state, and civil society in contemporary Turkey, focusing in particular on compulsory religious instruction in primary and secondary schools, the standing of atheism and unbelief in the public realm, and the rise and political suppression of a postsecular ethics of citizenship in the course of the Gezi protests of 2013. This analysis demonstrates that the concept of postsecular society, when applied critically, provides a powerful tool for identifying the forces for and against religious pluralism in contemporary societies, including those outside Europe.
The Meaning of Religious Freedom
Authors: Nelson Matthew J. 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
This chapter examines the political circumstances that transformed the meaning of constitutional provisions protecting a right to religious freedom (“subject to . . . public order”) as they migrated from anti-colonial Ireland, via postcolonial India, to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Even as constitutional texts guaranteeing a fundamental right to peaceful religious practice were imported, almost verbatim, into Pakistan, political, legal, and conceptual modulations ensured that certain forms of peaceful religious practice were recast as a source of religious “provocation” posing a threat to “public order.” This chapter shows how, far from protecting religious freedom, a refashioning of imported constitutional clauses via references to public order underpinned the formal restriction of an otherwise explicit right.
Changing Modalities of Violence
Authors: Basu Amrita 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Drawing on recent developments in India, this chapter proposes new ways of conceptualizing violence that recognize its significance, independent of the scale of any single incident; appreciate the links between discursive violence and physical assault; and identify the webs of complicity between the state, political parties, and civil society. This entails appreciating multiple forms of violence and systematic forms of humiliation and coercion by dominant groups that are designed to subjugate, denigrate, silence, and intimidate people on the basis of their identities and beliefs. The chapter argues that the character and extent of violence result from the unprecedented success of Hindu nationalists in capturing state power by tethering religious nationalism to right-wing populism and thereby being able to pursue their long-standing agenda of transforming India into a Hindu nation.
Muslim Rights and Political Belonging After the Congress of Berlin
Authors: Greble Emily 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
How did Muslims first experience citizenship in Europe? How did nineteenth-century nation-building projects conceptualize Muslims? In 1878, over a million Ottoman Muslims became citizens of other European states. They were assured confessional self-governance. Beginning with an overview of the complex international processes that led to a new political and legal order in southeastern Europe, this chapter analyzes how Muslims in Serbia, Montenegro, and Austria-Hungary experienced and responded to the abrupt transition to new states and the imposition of citizenship. It examines political representation, property rights, and religious freedom—three pillars of the citizenship contract and how they were tested by new nation-building agendas, specifically through policies of education, conscription, and taxation.
“The Bonfire of Muslim Unity”
Authors: Greble Emily 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Minority protections only gave power to groups of minorities, not individuals, and so Muslims in Yugoslavia felt great pressures to unify on some grounds. Already in the early 1920s, internal factionalization grew across many different fault lines: language, region, class, political goals, and religious practice. Exploring these rifts, this chapter draws attention to different kinds of political spaces that Muslims used in their efforts to shape their place in Europe: political parties, madrasas, cultural associations, waqf boards, nationalist organizations, and activist groups. It also reveals how over the course of the 1920s and into the early 1930s, a period in Yugoslavia that included both troubled democracy and authoritarianism, being Muslim became understood, both within and outside of the community, as having political inflections.
The Stagnation of OPEC
Authors: Colgan Jeff D. 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Chapter 4 explains why OPEC has stagnated as an organization. From the early 1980s onward, OPEC has sought to act as a cartel that limited world oil supply, stabilized prices, and raised long-term average revenues. It has proved thoroughly ineffective in that effort, because it has no form of punishments for noncompliance. My analysis shows that its members cheat on their commitments 96 percent of the time. Worse still, cheating is only one of OPEC’s problems. The members of OPEC agree only to those commitments that reflect what they were going to do anyway (mostly), even in the absence of OPEC. It persists as an organization partly out of inertia and partly because it offers political benefits to its members. National leaders like the late Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez have capitalized on OPEC’s prestige and status.
Introduction
Authors: Heilinger Jan-Christoph 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
This chapter introduces Philip Kitcher’s lectures on moral progress, in which he offers a twenty-first-century version of Deweyan pragmatism. It provides an overview about the lectures’ main themes and arguments: a pragmatic account of moral truth and progress, a methodology for solving problems and overcoming obstacles to progress, and the ideal of a “Deweyan society” that would integrate the pragmatic insights.
Response to the Commentaries
Authors: Kitcher Philip 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
The response to commentaries takes up the individual points raised by each of the commentators. Their distinctive concerns are pursued in three separate sections. The last section attempts to address a charge common to all three: whether the account of moral progress is too optimistic about the prospects for replacing power struggles with institutions for democratic discussion. It suggests that, even if the recommended approach cannot entirely eliminate those struggles, it may mitigate them.
