Impact of Psychological Factors on the Performance of Athletes with Amblyopia: Mediation of Athletes' Satisfaction
Abstrct
Amblyopia is a disorder of the eye that may affect a person's vision. It has been noticed that athletes with amblyopia are frequently denied access to higher chances. Hence, individuals experience psychological anguish, which negatively affects their overall performance. Many psychological elements have a significant effect on the performance of athletes. This prompted the current study to examine the link between several psychological aspects (competition and commitment) and athletes' performance, emphasizing the function of players' pleasure as a mediator. 560 Iraqi athletes with amblyopia from various locations were surveyed to acquire data for the present study, which employed a quantitative approach and a survey methodology. The email was used to disseminate the surveys, and data was collected. After data collection, several statistical tools and methods were utilized to conduct statistical analysis. The "Partial Least Square" (PLS) approach was used to evaluate the proposed hypotheses. Several psychological aspects (such as dedication and competitiveness) have a major effect on the performance of athletes, as demonstrated by the current study's findings. Athletes' pleasure strongly moderated the association between psychological characteristics (such as commitment and competitiveness) and athletes' performance.

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
