The Brunel University Mood Scale better predicts fitness test success than the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. Specific mood dimensions like confusion, fatigue, and vigor are key performance predictors.

Area of Science:

  • Sport Psychology
  • Psychological Assessment

Background:

  • Mood states significantly influence athletic performance.
  • Existing mood assessment tools vary in their ability to predict performance outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the predictive efficacy of the Brunel University Mood Scale (BUMS) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) for athletic performance.
  • To identify specific mood dimensions that best discriminate between successful and unsuccessful performance.

Main Methods:

  • 38 junior high school students completed the BUMS and PANAS before a fitness test.
  • Performance was categorized as Successful (equaled or bettered previous score) or Unsuccessful.
  • Discriminant function analysis was used to assess predictive accuracy.

Main Results:

  • The BUMS correctly classified 81.6% of participants, with Confusion, Fatigue, and Vigor being significant predictors.
  • The PANAS correctly classified 68.4% of participants, with Negative Affect and Positive Affect being significant predictors.
  • The BUMS demonstrated superior predictive effectiveness compared to the PANAS.

Conclusions:

  • The detailed mood dimensions measured by the BUMS offer greater predictive power for athletic performance than the broader factors of the PANAS.
  • Future research on mood and performance should utilize multi-dimensional mood scales like the BUMS to avoid information loss.
