Abstract
Online mood profiling is an area of increasing interest in sport psychology and provides an efficient way to conduct cross-cultural research. The present study aimed to generate athlete-specific normative data for participants of Asian ethnicity using a website, referred to as ‘In the Mood’, which examines mood and its likely impact on performance via the Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS). The study aimed to compare Asian athletic normative data to existing BRUMS online normative data, and athletic population pen and paper normative data. The relationship between mood profiles and demographic variables such as age, gender and ethnicity was also examined. The study used an archival dataset collected using the ‘In the Mood’ website over 1.5 years from 9,288 participants, which contained large numbers of Asian participants (female: n = 423; male: n = 3,755) who completed the questionnaire prior to participating in a sport competition. Mood was found to vary significantly in Asian athletic participants by gender, ethnicity, and age. The male Asian normative data was found to differ significantly from previous online normative data provided by the ‘In the Mood’ website and differed from previous pen and paper athletic norms for the BRUMS. These findings support the need for separate normative data for Asian athletes for the BRUMS and thus separate norms were generated. This research has implications for extending the normative data of the BRUMS through further international collaborative research.
