Perfect the Academic Cognition of the International Sport Psychology Society to Norman Triplett

Although this research includes some sport factors, the historical information indicates that Triplett (1898) is not the first research or experiment of sport psychology because of the research target, theory basis and experiment program, and it is better to treat it as a popular psychology research related with sport.Thinking of the situation of sport psychology research during the end of 1900 s, the research model of Triplett (1898) significantly built a bridge between philosophy analysis and scientific measure, which solved some sport psychology research problems such as the pure theory analysis is lack of proof and the pure quantitative investigation is lack of theoretical depth, and shown the discipline trait of sport psychology which is between society and science.In summary, Triplett (1898) is like the “ape”in the process of sport psychology goes to science from philosophy, and the research model showed (present the theoretical hypotheses, empirical study, conclusions) which is the best symbol.According to the modern sport psychology theories, Triplett (1898) which includes higher academic values, but there is no significant support for the development of sport psychology.
