Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sport psychologist specializes in helping athletes with mental skills such as focus, concentration, and confidence. They can specifically address the issue of J.B.'s difficulty in concentrating when playing against a higher ranked opponent. Cognitive psychologists deal with general mental processes, environmental psychologists focus on the relationship between people and their environment, and personality psychologists study individual differences in behavior and thought. While these fields may touch on aspects of sports psychology, they are not as specialized in addressing J.B.'s issue as a sport psychologist would be.
