However, MW has also been found to have positive effects. This study aims to clarify the causes of the bidirectional (negative and positive) effects of MW in the sports context, specifically focusing on whether these effects are related to the content of MW.</AbstractText><AbstractText Label="METHODS" NlmCategory="UNASSIGNED">A total of 846 Chinese athletes completed the Chinese version of the MW scales. The survey data were tested for common method biases. Subsequently, Pearson correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were performed using SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 7.0.</AbstractText><AbstractText Label="RESULTS" NlmCategory="UNASSIGNED">The frequency of MW can positively predict its bidirectional effects. MW content plays an important role in the relationships between MW frequency and its negative and positive effects, but the direction of influence varies depending on the content.</AbstractText><AbstractText Label="CONCLUSION" NlmCategory="UNASSIGNED">MW in sports is not always harmful, and its content plays an important role. These findings suggest that managing MW content may be a promising MW intervention method for improving performance in sports.</AbstractText><CopyrightInformation>Copyright &#xa9; 2024 Li, Li, Xue and He.</CopyrightInformation></Abstract><AuthorList CompleteYN="Y"><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Li</LastName><ForeName>Jieling</ForeName><Initials>J</Initials><AffiliationInfo><Affiliation>Physical Education Postdoctoral Research Station, Hebei Normal University, Shijiazhuang, China.</Affiliation></AffiliationInfo><AffiliationInfo><Affiliation>School of Physical Education, Hebei Normal University, Shijiazhuang, China.</Affiliation></AffiliationInfo><AffiliationInfo><Affiliation>Key Laboratory of Measurement and Evaluation in Exercise Bioinformation of Hebei Province, Shijiazhuang, China.</Affiliation></AffiliationInfo></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Li</LastName><ForeName>Chuangye</ForeName><Initials>C</Initials><AffiliationInfo><Affiliation>Physical Education Postdoctoral Research Station, Hebei Normal University, Shijiazhuang, China.</Affiliation></AffiliationInfo></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Xue</LastName><ForeName>Shuangpeng</ForeName><Initials>S</Initials><AffiliationInfo><Affiliation>Physical Education Postdoctoral Research Station, Hebei Normal University, Shijiazhuang, China.</Affiliation></AffiliationInfo></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>He</LastName><ForeName>Yuxiu</ForeName><Initials>Y</Initials><AffiliationInfo><Affiliation>Physical Education Postdoctoral Research Station, Hebei Normal University, Shijiazhuang, China.</Affiliation></AffiliationInfo><AffiliationInfo><Affiliation>School of Physical Education, Hebei Normal University, Shijiazhuang, China.</Affiliation></AffiliationInfo><AffiliationInfo><Affiliation>Key Laboratory of Measurement and Evaluation in Exercise Bioinformation of Hebei Province, Shijiazhuang, China.</Affiliation></AffiliationInfo></Author></AuthorList><Language>eng</Language><PublicationTypeList><PublicationType UI="D016428">Journal Article</PublicationType></PublicationTypeList><ArticleDate DateType="Electronic"><Year>2024</Year><Month>08</Month><Day>07</Day></ArticleDate></Article><MedlineJournalInfo><Country>Switzerland</Country><MedlineTA>Front Psychol</MedlineTA><NlmUniqueID>101550902</NlmUniqueID><ISSNLinking>1664-1078</ISSNLinking></MedlineJournalInfo><KeywordList Owner="NOTNLM"><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">athlete</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">content</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">frequency</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">mind wandering</Keyword><Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">performance</Keyword></KeywordList><CoiStatement>The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.</CoiStatement></MedlineCitation><PubmedData><History><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="received"><Year>2023</Year><Month>12</Month><Day>3</Day></PubMedPubDate><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="accepted"><Year>2024</Year><Month>7</Month><Day>23</Day></PubMedPubDate><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="medline"><Year>2024</Year><Month>8</Month><Day>22</Day><Hour>6</Hour><Minute>42</Minute></PubMedPubDate><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="pubmed"><Year>2024</Year><Month>8</Month><Day>22</Day><Hour>6</Hour><Minute>41</Minute></PubMedPubDate><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="entrez"><Year>2024</Year><Month>8</Month><Day>22</Day><Hour>4</Hour><Minute>50</Minute></PubMedPubDate><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="pmc-release"><Year>2024</Year><Month>8</Month><Day>7</Day></PubMedPubDate></History><PublicationStatus>epublish</PublicationStatus><ArticleIdList><ArticleId IdType="pubmed">39171231</ArticleId><ArticleId IdType="pmc">PMC11336697</ArticleId><ArticleId IdType="doi">10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1348893</ArticleId></ArticleIdList><ReferenceList><Reference><Citation>Aitken J.
