- Sports confidence theory
- VEALEY
- Vealey measure 2 factors:
- Trait sports confidency (SC trait)
- State sports confidence (SC state)
- SC trait
- Innate and described as a natural disposition
- Relatively stable
- Different from specific confidence because it relates to a generalised belief of an individual about the extent to which their ability will bring about success across a wide range of sport
- Global
- SC state
- Developed through learning
- Unstable and changeable
- Relates to an individuals belief to the extent to which their ability will bring about success at one particular moment
- Specific to a situation
- Directly determines the quality of the skill that is to be performed
- The degree of SC state is determined by the interaction of 3 factors:
- 1. SC trait
- 2. The objects sports situation
- 3. The performer's competitive orientation
- The extent to which a performer perceives their performance to have been successful is termed the subjective outcome
- Subjective outcomes produce the following effects:
- An outcome perceived to be good will increase SC trait, SC state and competitiveness
- An outcome percieved as poor will decrease SC trait, SC state and competitveness
- A decrease in SC trait and competitiveness will:
- 1. depress SC state
- 2. reduce self-efficacy
- 3. reduce general confidence
- 4. cause avoidance behaviour
- An increase in SC trait and competitveness will:
- 1. increase SC state
- 2. increase self-efficacy
- 3. increase general confidence
- 4. facilitate approach behaviour
- Vealey identified strategies to improve SC state:
- 1. Mastery of skill
- 2. Styling (demonstration of highly skilled performance to others)
- 3. Physical and mental preparation
- 4. Social reinforcement
- 5. Effective leadership
- 6. Environmental comfort
- Vealey concluded that success in one sport leads to increased confidence in other sports
