| ABSTRACT | |||
| The present study examined the relationships among cohesion, self-efficacy,
coaches' perceptions of their players' efficacy at the individual level
and athletes' perceptions of their teammates' efficacy. Participants (n
= 76) recruited from four semi- professional soccer and basketball teams
completed cohesiveness and efficacy questionnaires who. Data were analyzed
through a correlational methodology. Results indicated significant correlations
between self-efficacy and task cohesion and social cohesion. Regression
analysis results suggest task cohesion positively related to coaches and
teammate´s perception of efficacy. These results have implications for practitioners
in terms of the importance of team building to enhance team cohesion and
feelings of efficacy.
Key words: Cohesion, self-efficacy, perceived efficacy, football, basketball. |
