The research drafted by Hudac et al. in 2022 dives into the topic of cognitive inhibition within frustration in young athletes while displaying the importance of racial representation within the neuroscientific studies. This aligns with studies within scientific fields on the importance of inclusivity and equality; Highlighting in the news article “The 6 Major Theories of Emotion” written by Kendra Cherry in 2024, about systemic racism in research and education.
Hudac et al. emphasizes the mobile community- engaged or the EEG methods in evaluating frustration and its influences on cognitive inhibition. The research’s results show that adolescents, Black athletes in specific, who are underrepresented in brain health research. These athletes face challenges because of inequalities similar to limited access to care and barriers in research methodology.
The relevance in the themes in the research towards the article is the James-Lange theory of emotion, which shows physiological responses, similar to frustration, on emotional experiences, which links cognitive inhibition directly to emotional regulation. The understanding of this scientific data shows why research is crucial for more data in the racial field of study.
The link between the article and the research details the many different cognitive factors when looking into emotional value within sports. The James-Lange Theory is a three step process in which you witness a stimulus, which then leads to a physiological response, which ends with the reaction based on how the stimuli are responded to. In this context, we see young adolescents in black athletes being underrepresented. The research article written by Hudac et al. purpose is to explore how frustration impacts cognitive inhibition, while also addressing the lack of Black representation.
There were 23 athletes who were used for this experiment where they were tasked to take part in a preseason and postseason of football, and their emotional response for frustration was tested by in-game frustrations such as a loss of points. The results were that frustration reduced the cognitive inhibition causing a distraction. It highlighted the racial inequality and frustration inhibition through cognitive responses. The article written by Kendra Cherry further describes the reasoning for cognitive responses as the James-Lange Theory of emotion in which a stimulus is presented, and there is a reaction based on how your brain perceives these stimuli.
