Abstract

Abstract The conceptual model of sport cohesion that Carron developed describes the relationships between cohesion and performance including the antecedents and consequences of the variables. Although researchers have conducted a plethora of studies around the relationship between cohesion and performance, there is a gap in literature regarding longitudinal changes of this relationship as well as its direction. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to examine the relationship between cohesion and performance for soccer teams during a full competitive season as well as the direction of the relationship. The study suggests a new model for the relationship between cohesion and performance. In total, 173 Greek soccer players (M=21.91) completed the Group Environment Questionnaire (Carron et al., 1985) in all the measurements from the beginning of the preparation to the end of the competitive season. The results showed that cohesion and performance are two variables that affect each other in soccer, with a stronger direction from cohesion to performance. However, cohesion affects performance either positively or negatively throughout the season.

足球运动中的凝聚力与表现:一个因果模型

Carron提出的体育凝聚力概念模型描述了凝聚力与成绩之间的关系，包括变量的前因变量和结果变量。尽管研究人员围绕凝聚力和绩效之间的关系进行了大量的研究，但关于这种关系的纵向变化及其方向的文献还存在空白。因此，本研究的目的是研究在一个完整的竞争赛季中，足球队的凝聚力和表现之间的关系，以及关系的方向。本研究提出了一种新的凝聚力与绩效关系模型。共有173名希腊足球运动员(M=21.91)完成了Carron et al.， 1985年的《团体环境问卷》(Group Environment Questionnaire)，从备战开始到比赛赛季结束的所有测量。结果表明，足球运动中的凝聚力与绩效是两个相互影响的变量，且凝聚力向绩效的方向更强。然而，凝聚力对整个赛季的表现有积极或消极的影响。
