Dr. Jean Côté, Professor
My research interests focus on the developmental and psychosocial factors that affect sport participation, performance, and personal development. I am interested in the complex interaction of youth, parents, and coaches in developing participants’ assets and strengths. My research aims to identify variables and behaviours within families, participants, and coaches that create favourable conditions for interest and continued engagement in sport. This research program uses various qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including unstructured and structured interviews, observation, video-task analysis, and questionnaires.

Dr. Luc J. Martin, Professor
My research interests lie in the general area of sport psychology with a particular focus on group dynamics principles. More specifically, I am interested in the psychosocial influences present in sport and physical activity settings, and how individuals can be influenced by, but can also influence the groups to which they belong. My current projects involve the investigation of group processes such as cohesion, cliques, social identity, and leadership on both individual and team level outcomes in child/youth and elite sport populations. Generally, the main focus is to develop a better understanding of certain psychosocial factors that can be used to inform interdisciplinary and policy-relevant research aimed at enriching the sporting environment.
