Description Create quantitative questionnaire for the paper : Self-esteem and social support as predictors of stress levels in cricket athletes in greece. The questionnaire must be in google forms, but i want it to a word file as well follow the instructions bellow UNFORMATTED ATTACHMENT PREVIEW Perceived Stress Scale A more precise measure of personal stress can be determined by using a variety of instruments that have been designed to help measure individual stress levels. The first of these is called the Perceived Stress Scale. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is a classic stress assessment instrument. The tool, while originally developed in 1983, remains a popular choice for helping us understand how different situations affect our feelings and our perceived stress. The questions in this scale ask about your feelings and thoughts during the last month. In each case, you will be asked to indicate how often you felt or thought a certain way. Although some of the questions are similar, there are differences between them and you should treat each one as a separate question. The best approach is to answer fairly quickly. That is, don’t try to count up the number of times you felt a particular way; rather indicate the alternative that seems like a reasonable estimate. For each question choose from the following alternatives: 0 - never 1 - almost never 2 - sometimes 3 - fairly often 4 - very often ________ l. In the last month, how often have you been upset because of something that happened unexpectedly? ________ 2. In the last month, how often have you felt that you were unable to control the important things in your life? ________ 3. In the last month, how often have you felt nervous and stressed? ________ 4. In the last month, how often have you felt confident about your ability to handle your personal problems? ________ 5. In the last month, how often have you felt that things were going your way? ________ 6. In the last month, how often have you found that you could not cope with all the things that you had to do? ________ 7. In the last month, how often have you been able to control irritations in your life? ________ 8. In the last month, how often have you felt that you were on top of things? ________ 9. In the last month, how often have you been angered because of things that happened that were outside of your control? ________ 10. In the last month, how often have you felt difficulties were piling up so high that you could not overcome them? Figuring Your PSS Score You can determine your PSS score by following these directions: • First, reverse your scores for questions 4, 5, 7, and 8. On these 4 questions, change the scores like this: 0 = 4, 1 = 3, 2 = 2, 3 = 1, 4 = 0. • Now add up your scores for each item to get a total. My total score is ___________. • Individual scores on the PSS can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress. ? Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress. ? Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress. ? Scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress. The Perceived Stress Scale is interesting and important because your perception of what is happening in your life is most important. Consider the idea that two individuals could have the exact same events and experiences in their lives for the past month. Depending on their perception, total score could put one of those individuals in the low stress category and the total score could put the second person in the high stress category.

Family Subscale: Sum across items 3, 4, 8, & 11, then divide by 4. Friends Subscale: Sum across items 6, 7, 9, & 12, then divide by 4. Total Scale: Sum across all 12 items, then divide by 12. More information at: http://gzimet.wix.com/mspss Other MSPSS Scoring Options: There are no established population norms on the MSPSS. Also, norms would likely vary on the basis of culture and nationality, as well as age and gender. I have typically looked at how social support differs between groups (e.g., married compared to unmarried individuals) or is associated with other measures (e.g., depression or anxiety). With these approaches you can use the mean scale scores. If you want to divide your respondents into groups on the basis of MSPSS scores there are at least two ways you can approach this process: 1. You can divide your respondents into 3 equal groups on the basis of their scores (trichotomize) and designate the lowest group as low perceived support, the middle group as medium support, and the high group as high support. This approach ensures that you have about the same number of respondents in each group. But, if the distribution of scores is skewed, your low support group, for example, may include respondents who report moderate or even relatively high levels of support. 2. Alternatively, you can use the scale response descriptors as a guide. In this approach any mean scale score ranging from 1 to 2.9 could be considered low support; a score of 3 to 5 could be considered moderate support; a score from 5.1 to 7 could be considered high support. This approach would seem to have more validity, but if you have very few respondents in any of the groups, it could be problematic. View publication stats Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) Morris Rosenberg Scoring: As the RSE is a Guttman scale, scoring can be a little complicated. Scoring involves a method of combined ratings. Low self-esteem responses are “disagree” or “strongly disagree” on items 1, 3, 4, 7, 10, and “strongly agree” or “agree” on items 2, 5,6, 8, 9. Two or three out of three correct responses to items 3, 7, and 9 are scored as oneitem. One or two out of two correct responses for items 4 and 5 are considered as a single item; items 1,8, and 10 are scored as individual items; and combined correct responses (one or two out of two) to items 2 and 6 are considered to be a single item. The scale can also be scored by totalling the individual 4 point items after reversescoringthe negatively worded items. Reference: Rosenberg, M. (1979). Conceiving the Self. New York: Basic Books. RSE Please record the appropriate answer for each item, depending on whether you Strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree with it. 1 = Strongly agree 2 = Agree 3 = Disagree 4 = Strongly disagree 1. On the whole, I am satisfied with myself. 2. At times I think I am no good at all. 3. I feel that I have a number of good qualities. 4. I am able to do things as well as most other people. 5. I feel 1do not have much to be proud of. 6. I certainly feel useless at times. 7. I feel that I'm a person of worth. 8. I wish I could have more respect for myself. 9. All in all, I am inclined to think that I am a failure. 10. I take a positive attitude toward myself. Data Management Plan – RESEARCHERS USING PERSONAL DATA Project Title Brief Project Outline Collaborating Organisations What data will you collect or create? How will the data be collected or created? How will research subjects’ consent be obtained? How will you manage data storage, access and security? Self-esteem and Perceived Social support as predictors of stress levels in Cricket players in Greece This research seeks to explore whether self esteem and perceived social support serve as significant determinants of stress in this underrepresented athletic population. By addressing gaps on the literature, the study aims to expand the body of knowledge within sport psychology, especially in the context of athletes participating in non-mainstream sport within the Greek region. Self esteem as a core psychological construct, plays a pivotal role in how individuals appraise and stressors. Elevated self-esteem is hypothesized to facilitate adaptive coping mechanism, whereas diminished self-esteem may exacerbate stress vulnerability(Rogers, 1981; Markus & Nurius, 1986).. Similarly, social support, encompassing emotional, and instrumental resources, is theorized to act as a buffering mechanism that mitigates the adverse effects of stress. While previous studies have examined stress and coping mechanism in athletes, little is known about how self-esteem and perceived social support contribute to stress regulation in cricket players, particularly in Greece, this study aims to determine whether this psychological factors significantly predict stress levels in this athletic population. Not applicable Research will collect primary quantitative data using validated questionnaires and demographic data from the sample. Questionnaires include Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale, perceived stress scale and a social support measure. Demographic data will include age, gender of research participants. Data from questionnaires will be collected via Google Forms by at least 53 participants (calculated by Gpower), on their free time. On completion of data collection, data will be downloaded in a format suitable for analysis. Every participant will take part in the research by a unique ID number, in order for anonymity to be preserved. Participants will be provided with an information sheet at the beginning of the research and informed consent will be collected through a series of key statements for the research. . Agreement to specific consent statements will be stored alongside the anonymised data. Participant information will be given and consent obtained through the Google forms. During the data collection period, individual data will be stored on Google forms. At completion of the study, all the data will be downloaded as a single file and saved to the researcher’s University OneDrive. Anonymised data can be accessed off-site via OneDrive. Once data collection is complete the survey is to remain on Google forms . The participant data collected from the platform is to be deleted. Revised September 2022 What is the longterm preservation plan for the dataset? Summaries of the data may be presented in presentations, academic conferences, or publications. Anonymised datasets may be shared alongside publications and be stored on a secure repository up to five years.
