Abstract

A recent systematic review conducted by the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, focused on the psychology of rock climbing. The study found that climbers exhibit traits such as conscientiousness, intrinsic motivation, and task orientation, with factors like flow, confidence, anxiety facilitation, and perception playing key roles in climbing performance. The review highlighted the need for further research to clarify optimal levels and development of psychological variables in rock climbers. This research, published in Psychology of Sport and Exercise, sheds light on the unique psychological aspects of rock climbing as a sport. [Extracted from the article]
