Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Mental health challenges can impact sport officials' performance.
  • Previous research indicates a belief among officials that mental health issues negatively affect their duties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between mental health and officiating performance.
  • To determine if psychological distress and mental wellbeing predict performance in sport officials.

Main Methods:

  • Subjective officiating performance was rated, alongside mental health measures (Kessler K10, Warwick-Edinburgh wellbeing scale).
  • 274 Canada Basketball referees participated, with data analyzed using Hierarchical Linear Regression, controlling for experience.

Main Results:

  • Hierarchical Linear Regression showed a significant relationship between mental health and performance (p < 0.001).
  • Mental wellbeing was a significant predictor of officiating performance, accounting for 19% of the variation.
  • Psychological distress did not show a direct influence on performance.

Conclusions:

  • Sport officials' mental wellbeing is a key factor in their perceived performance.
  • While distress may not directly affect performance, overall wellbeing is demonstrably linked to effective officiating.
