• TITLE: Media Hype and Its Influence on Athletic Performance

  AUTHORS: Cynthia M. Frisby, Wayne Wanta

  KEYWORDS: College Athletes, Media Hype, Self-Perception and Media Exposure, Media Hype and Athlete Performance

  ABSTRACT: A survey of university athletes examined whether uses of four media (newspapers, television, radio or the Internet) for sports information were related to self-perceptions of emotions, motivations and attitudes. The results suggest that newspaper and Internet use reduced feelings of stress among the athletes, perhaps due to athletes’ use of the two media as diversions from the pressures of competitive athletics. Television use was not related to any of the measures of athletes’ self-perceptions.
