Biography

Candace M. Hogue, PhD, is an assistant professor of Sport & Exercise Psychology at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. She is the Director of the Sport, Exercise & Performance Psychology Lab (SEPP) and an affiliated scholar with the KU Sport & Exericse Psychology Lab and Jayhawk Athletic Performance Lab. Dr. Hogue conducts both research and applied work in sport and exercise psychology. She is interested in using sport and physical activity as a means to help teach positive life skills to youth and to optimize the health and well-being of participants of all skill levels. In her research she aims to understand how we can help athletes better manage performance stress.  She has worked in coaching education and as a mental performance consultant for over a decade at the collegiate and youth levels. Dr. Hogue is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Sport Psychology in Action and serves on the editorial board for the Journal of Applied Sport Psychology.

Research

Dr. Hogue investigates how supportive coaching practices and mental skills training can help youth and collegiate athletes manage performance stress and have a positive sporting experience. Her primary line of research is focused on investigating stress and motivation in response to the motivational climate fostered by leaders in physical activity settings. Specifically, she examines how caring, task-involving climates (mastery-focused, athlete-centered) vs. ego-involving climates (hypercompetitive, winning-centered) impact psychophysiological stress responses including inflammation and cortisol fluctuations, along with indicators of well-being and motivation. For her second line of research she uses experimental investigations to explore how mental skills training might help athletes respond more favorably to performance stress. She has incorporated physiological markers of stress and thriving (e.g., DHEA/cortisol) as well as psychological measures of stress and coping, motivation, and well-being. Her final line of research investigates the impact of coach-driven motivational climates in non-experimental contexts on athletes’ physiological and psychological well-being, including their cortisol awakening response, along with their motivational responses.

Dr. Hogue is currently accepting Masters & PhD students.
