Sintesi	The PSDQ is a 40-item questionnaire measuring multidimensional physical self-concept—how individuals perceive and evaluate themselves across 11 physical domains including strength, endurance, body appearance, sports competence, and fitness. Developed by Marsh and colleagues in 1994, the PSDQ has become the leading instrument for assessing physical self-concept in youth and adult athletes and is valuable for understanding body image, exercise motivation, and psychological wellbeing.	The MTQ48 is a 48-item instrument measuring mental toughness—the capacity to perform well under pressure, persist through adversity, maintain emotional control, and sustain commitment toward goals. Developed by Clough, Earle, and Sewell in 2002, the MTQ48 operationalizes mental toughness across four dimensions (the '4Cs': Control, Commitment, Challenge, and Confidence) and has become widely adopted in sport psychology, talent development, and organizational psychology for identifying and developing psychological resilience.
