      abstract     = {This study aimed at examining the reliability and validity
                      of the Adverse Competition-related Cognitions Questionnaire
                      (ACCQ) in an English-speaking sample of athletes. The ACCQ
                      is a performance-focused measure that captures six different
                      areas of adverse competition-related cognitions- athletic
                      comparison, coach devaluation, devaluation of one's own
                      performance, appreciation by coach and family, inner
                      resistance against competitions, and general exhaustion.
                      Data from 278 athletes (Mage = 27.64, age range = 16-68
                      years) from different sports were collected and subjected to
                      confirmatory factor analysis, which confirmed the 6-factor
                      solution of the translated ACCQ (CFI = 0.915; RMSEA =
                      0.056). In addition, the different subscales of the ACCQ
                      showed sufficient internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha >
                      0.60). Furthermore, we examined the relationships with
                      cognitive interference, satisfaction in three different
                      domains (i.e., general in life, sporting development, and
                      athletic performance) and athletes' subjective performance
                      evaluations (i.e., performance and peak performance in the
                      previous season and confidence in achieving their goals in
                      the upcoming season). Results indicated positive
                      correlations with athletes' cognitive interference (i.e.,
                      construct validity in terms of a nomological network), low
                      negative relations with athletes' satisfaction in the three
                      different domains and with the three parameters of
                      subjective performance evaluation (i.e., concurrent
                      validity). Implications of these findings and perspectives
                      for future research are discussed.},
