Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of situational awareness training on cognitive emotion regulation and shooting performance. The research design is semi-experimental; with pre-test, post-test and control group. The statistical population consisted of students of one of military educational centers in Tehran and the research sample consisted of Twenty-two students who were selected through convenience sampling method and randomly divided in either experimental or control group. The experimental group received situational awareness training based on the Andesley theory. Then, after completing the Gravinsky Cognitive-emotional Regulation questionnaire, a standard shooting test was administered. Data was analyzed through multivariate covariance test and results showed that short-term positional awareness training significantly enhances emotional regulation and shooting performance in the post-test stage. This research showed the importance of situational awareness in cognitive emotion regulation and shooting performance.
