This research examines coaches' ability to identify and report interpersonal violence incidents and the psychological factors influencing their responses.

Used sport-related vignettes to assess recognition of violence
Employed psychometric scales: PIEVS, KMES, and PSS
Analyzed correlations between coaches' scores and performance in recognizing violence
Coaches failed to recognize nearly 30% of violent scenarios
Only 45% of ambiguous scenarios were correctly classified
Misclassified incidents showed lower severity ratings and likelihood of reporting
Significant correlations emerged between PIEVS scores and recognition accuracy
KMES scores correlated positively with severity ratings for violent scenarios
