A sports psychologist asks 20 club runners to write about their thoughts during the ten minutes before a race. Each response may include more than one theme. After reading the responses, she produces this summary.
| Theme | Number of runners whose response included the theme |
|---|---|
| Thinking about pace | 12 |
| Worrying about performance | 8 |
| Thinking about the crowd | 5 |
