The current study focuses on the effect of transformational leadership on athletes’ performance in the mediation of psychological need satisfaction, burnout, competition anxiety, life satisfaction, and positive–negative affect. The sample consisted of 391 soccer players aged between 16 and 20 years. Six scales were used in this study: Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, Needs Satisfaction Scale, Athlete Burnout Measure, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Scale, and Sport Competition Anxiety Test. The method of Vallerand was preferred to measure performance, and structural equation modeling was employed to analyze data. The model data fit was also verified. It was found that the transformational leadership behaviors of coaches signally influence athletes’ performance either directly or indirectly. From another perspective, increasing the psychological health or well-being of athletes has important effects on sport performance.

Müzik, profesyonel ya da rekreatif olarak egzersiz yapan bireyler tarafından sıkça kullanılmaktadır. Buna karşın, farklı egzersiz türlerinde müziğin performansa etkisine ilişkin çalışmaların sayısı sınırlıdır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, izokinetik dinamometrede 50 tekrarlı diz ekstansiyon ve fleksiyon hareketi içeren bir yorgunluk testinde, Öz-Seçim Müziğin (ÖSM) Kuvvette Devamlılık (KD), Zirve Tork (ZT), Toplam İş (Tİ) ve Algılanan Zorluk Derecesi (AZD) üzerine etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmaya 34 kişi (Ort.yaş=21.26±1.71yıl, Ort.boy=179.41±5.79cm, Ortkilo=77.70±9.03kg) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır.

Aim of this study was to examine martial arts athletes’ relationships with their coaches and the perceived leadership styles of their coaches in terms of gender, age and duration of their participation in martial arts. The sample consisted of 132 male, 72 female and 204 in total martial arts participants. Data were collected by simple random sampling method. Perception of Leadership Behavior part of Leadership Scale for Sports (LSS) developed by Chelladurai and Saleh (1980)8, and Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q) developed by Jowett and Ntoumanis (2004)23 were employed as data collection tools. ANOVA findings depicted that male, older than 18 years old and experienced athletes perceived more autocratic behavior of their coaches than female, 17 and younger, and less experienced athletes. In addition, less experienced athletes perceived more positive feedback than experienced athletes. In Coach–Athlete Relationship Questionnaire, only significant difference was detected in age. Younger athletes felt their coaches closer to them than older counterparts. In conclusion; age, gender, and participation duration are determinants of differences in perceiving coaches’ leadership. This information can benefit sports psychologists or coaches on identifying and instructing their groups effectively.

The current study examined the effects of a season-long multifaceted team goal-setting intervention (with emphasis on both individual and team level goal) on perceptions of team cohesion and collective efficacy. Using a non-randomized controlled design with 81 female volleyball players (<i>Mage</i> = 16.57, <i>SD</i> = .25) from six teams, three teams (<i>n</i> = 3) were assigned as intervention condition while the remaining teams (<i>n</i> = 3) represented no-treatment control condition. Teams in the intervention condition participated in a three-stage team goal-setting protocol with an extension of the individual goal-setting phase throughout a season. All participants completed questionnaires measuring perceptions of team cohesion and collective efficacy at three time-points throughout the season (i.e., beginning, midseason, end-season). In addition, participants in the intervention condition completed performance profiles at the beginning and the end of the season. Compared to the control group, the task cohesion perceptions of the intervention group were significantly higher in the midseason, the social cohesion perceptions were significantly higher at the end of the season, and their collective efficacy perceptions were significantly higher both in the midseason and at the end of the season. These results revealed the effectiveness of the multifaceted team goal-setting intervention on team cohesion and collective efficacy. <i>Lay summary:</i> This study extends the team goal-setting literature by conducting a season-long multifaceted team goal-setting intervention in youth volleyball teams. The intervention involved both individual and team goals and aimed to improve coherence between those goals through task interdependence.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the sport confidence and self-efficacy beliefs in football players participating in either super league (N = 48) or second league (N = 53). Athletes completed the Trait Sport Confidence Inventory (TSCI), State Sport Confidence Invetory (SSCI), and Self-Efficacy Scale (SES). Pearson Moment Correlation results indicated a positive significant relationship between State Sport Confidence and Self-Efficacy levels (r = .492), Trait Sport Confidence and Self-Efficacty levels (r = .493) and State Sport Confidence and Trait Sport Confidence levels (r = .766) of the Super League players. Results also revealed a non-significant relationship between State Sport Confidence and Self-Efficacy levels (r = .227) and a postive significant relationship was found between Trait Sport Confidence and Self-Efficacty levels (r = .271) and State Sport Confidence and Trait Sport Confidence levels (r = .787) of the Second League players. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) analyses revealed significant differences between the Super League and Second League players’ self-efficacy beliefs (F(1,99) = 7.188, p = .009). The linear regression results revealed that for both the Super League and Second League players, trait sport-confidence predicted state sport-confidence and self-efficacy. Finally, it was revealed that the super league and second league football players were similar with regard to sport confidence, whereas, they had different self-efficacy beliefs..

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability and validity d2 Test of Attention for Turkish athletes. Four hundred and thirty seven (437) male and 264 female athletes (Mage= 19.30, SD = 5.08; Msport age= 7.72, SD = 4.77; Meducation= 10.67, SD = 2.85 years) from eleven sport disciplines (track and field,, basketball, handball, football, voleyball, gymnastics, archery, weightlifting, wrestling, swimming and sailing) participated in this study. In addition to d2 Test, Stroop Test TBAG Form and Nonverbal Cancellation Test-Turkish Form were used for determining the criterion related validity (n = 168). Fifthy eight athletes participated in the test-retest procedure consisted of different intervals (15, 30 and 90 days). ANOVA for repeated measures showed significant differences between different test intervals (p&lt;0.05). This finding indicated that there was practice effect in the d2 Test scores. As a reliability coefficient intraclass correlation coefficient was estimated for four test administrations. The highest intraclass correlation coefficient obtained from data was R =0 .86 for TN (Total Number processed) and the lowest coefficient was R = 0.69 for CP (Concentration Performance) (n = 58). Internal consistency coefficients were also calculated (n = 701). It was found that Cronbach alfa coefficients ranged from 0.93 to 0.96 and Spearman Brown internal consistency coefficients (split-half method) were between 0.91 to 0 .96. To determine the effects of developmental changes on the d2 Test scores, differences among age groups (12-15, 16-20, 21-24, 25 and above years) were examined by using One Way ANOVA. It was found that there was a significant difference among age groups on TN, TN-E (TN minus Error), CP and FR (Fluctuation Rate) scores (respectively F(3, 694) = 38.54, 40.69, 30.19, 6.71; p&lt;0.05). Post-hoc Scheffe Test showed that this difference stemmed from 12-15 and 16-20 age groups. These groups had lower scores than other age groups. Criterion related validity obtained from the correlation of the d2 Test variables (TN, TN-E, CP) with the Stroop Test TBAG Form and Cancellation Test-Turkish Form were in the range of -0.19 to -0.43 for the Stroop Test TBAG Form and -0.40 to -0.53 for the Nonverbal Cancellation Test (p&lt;0.05). 2 (sex) x 2 (years of education) ANOVA revealed that there were no gender differences in d2 Test scores but significant differences between years of education (p&lt;0.05). Well-educated athletes (12 years and above) had higher scores on TN, TN-E, CP and lower scores on FR than less well-educated athletes (9-11 years). As a result, the obtained results on reliability and validity of d2 Test of Attention show that this test can be used to evaluate selective and sustained attention in Turkish athletes for practical and research purposes.
