Notes
- Abstract:
- Student athletes represent a special population and have demands on their time and energy that differ from the typical college student (Gatson, 2003). Perceived self-efficacy plays a pivotal role in the process of self-management. In sport, for example, the beliefs that athletes develop about their athletic capabilities (i.e., the belief an athlete may have concerning his or her own capability to run a mile in five minutes) help determine what they do with the knowledge and skills they have acquired (i.e., using his or her training and skills to successfully complete the mile in five minute). The basic concept behind this proposal was that self-perceptions of capability can help determine what individuals do with the knowledge and skills they have. This study aimed to define the goal profile (i.e., task orientation, ego orientation or a combination orientation) for both intramural and varsity athletes. A sample (n=56) of intramural and varsity athletes completed the Task and Ego in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ), Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and a Sport-Specific Self-Efficacy Scale (SSSES). Results showed a correlation between ego orientation and self-efficacy, and a correlation between task orientation and self-efficacy. No significant differences were present between intramural and varsity athletes or within the defined groups of intramural athletes.
