Over the summer, the International Journal of Sport Psychology published a special “double” edition on mental toughness. The journal includes papers that take a variety of approaches to further understand mental toughness and add to the burgeoning research area. I am very pleased to report that studies from the PhD research of Lizzie Stamp and Patricia Jackman were included. The full citations of these studies are listed below.
