The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between coping strategies and metamotivation dominance in academic elite athletes based on reversal theory. 124 athletes who were the members of university sport teams participated in this study by convenience sampling method. In this study, Telic Dominance Scale was used to measure and determine metamotivation dominance and the Persian version of coping strategies questionnaire was utilized to assess athletes’ coping strategies. The results of K-S test showed that the data distribution was not normal; so data were analyzed by Spearman correlation coefficient and U Mann-Whitney test. The results of correlation test showed a negative and significant relationship between activity orientation coping strategies and Telic dominance and a positive and significant relationship between emotion orientation strategies and Telic dominance. Also, the results of U Mann-Whitney test showed that those with Telic used more emotion orientation strategies while those with Paratelic used more activity orientation strategies. Consequently, it is recommended that coaches should identify athletes’ metamotivation dominance to use appropriate coping strategies.

The present study reviews the impact of teaching the elements of reversed theory on job motivation and quality improvement of working life of employees, The sample population ofwascomposed of the employees ofAroum Sankokast Semirom. A call for sampling and simple random sampling was used. Of a total of 30 subjects, 15 were randomly placed in the experimental and 15 in the control groups. Then, both groups were pretosted by Walton test and DantJob Satisfaction criterion. The elements of the reversed theory were applied to the experimental group for ten 90-minute sessions. Control group received no treatment. A post-test was administered to both groups with respect to the quality of the working life and job motivation. The collected data were analyzed using co-variance method. The resultsof data analysis indicated that 1) teaching the elements of reversed theory has in impat on the job motivation of individuals (P < 0.001) and 2) teaching the elements of reversed theory has an impat on improvement of the quality of working life (P < 0.001).

This study is to determine the extent of individual and group counseling effectiveness based on Reversal theory in decreasing athletes’ stress. The statistical population is 36 male and female national athletes’ teams in various athletic fields. The statistical sample size was randomly chosen consists of two experimental group and a control group. The variables include individual and group counseling. The reversal theory as independent variable and the extent of stress as dependent one. One group was exposed to individual counseling and the other got group counseling. Using the concepts, procedures and techniques that are emphasized by reversal theory, the two groups were examined. The control group did not get any counseling.
The standard stress questionnaire of Lionel coudyron was implemented both before and after the experiment to determine the extent of stress of the subjects. The data were collected ad processed by statistical analysis of one and two way ANOVA, through repeated measurements, the T dependent and Tukey test was (P £ 0.05). The following results were obtained.
There was a positive and significant effect of reversal theory both with individual and group counseling in decreasing national team’s athlete's stress (P£0.001). There was not significant difference in decreasing stress between individual and group counseling using reversal theory.
In general, one can deduce that in order to decrease the national teams’ athletes’ stress, the individual and group counseling can be used. The reversal theory can also be used as one of the effective theories in individual and group counseling

This experiment investigated the physiological linkage in mother-adolescent daughter dyads using reversal theory constructs including metamotivational states, and reversal processes. Physiological linkage is a measure of how well the physiological responses of each member of each dyad predict the other member's response pattern. Among 63 mother- daughter dyads participating in an earlier experiment a high- conflict group (12 dyads) and a low-conflict group (12 dyads), were established on the basis of the Conflict subscale of Family Environment Scale. The study examined the levels of physiological linkage between dyads and identified the metamotivational and emotional predictors of physiological linkage during the neutral, conflictual and pleasant interactions. The results indicate that the physiological responses of daughters predicted the responses of mothers better than vice versa. It was shown that daughters’ ratings of provocativeness and placidity were both predictive of linkage. Both transactional loss and gain were related to shared physiology. For the high- conflict group, physiological linkage was stronger during the conflictual conversation than the pleasant conversation. On the whole, the results demonstrated the utility of reversal theory constructs in explaining the interplay between the metamotivational and emotional processes during interactions and physiological linkage between mother-daughter dyads. However the verbal, non-verbal, and cognitive factors that instigate physiological linkage remain to be investigated.
