Encyclopedia of Sport and Exercise Psychology

Robert C. Eklund was involved in the development of the revised flow scales (Jackson & Eklund, 2002). He also worked extensively on the evaluation of psychometric properties of other inventories commonly employed in sport and exercise psychology including the Social Physique Anxiety Scale (e.g., Eklund, Mack, & Hart, 1996), the Physical Self Perception Profile (e.g., Eklund, Whitehead, & Welk, 1997), the Causal Dimension Scale-II (Crocker, Eklund, & Graham, 2002), and inventories employed to evaluate coping strategies (Eklund, Grove, & Heard, 1998; Grove, Eklund & Heard, 1997). While widely published, Eklund has also been active in editorial roles in the field. In addition to being the current editor-in-chief of the Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, Eklund is a past associate/section editor for Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, and the Journal of Applied Sport Psychology. Eklund currently serves on the editorial boards of other sport and exercise psychology journals.
