Abstract

This study reviews the concept of observational design and its applications in the field of sports psychology. Once the objectives of an observational design have been defined they will guide the subsequent research process, influencing the construction of observation instruments, the recording procedure and its metric, the observational sampling, the monitoring of data quality, and, above all, the choice of the most suitable analytic techniques in each case. Obviously, they also have repercussions in terms of the interpretation of results.
