Abstract

The present study examined the influence of an online relationship-oriented personal-disclosure mutual-sharing (ROPDMS) intervention upon diverse measures of group functioning during a national lockdown. Twelve soccer coaches and one senior member of staff from a professional female soccer academy participated by openly disclosing and sharing unknown personal stories with one another. Social identity dimensions (in-group ties, cognitive centrality, and in-group affect), friendship identity content, social support, self-esteem, and a nonequivalent dependent variable were measured across four time points, while social validation was obtained immediately and 4 weeks after ROPDMS. Quantitative data revealed significant increases for in-group ties, cognitive centrality, and friendship identity content after ROPDMS, while the nonequivalent dependent variable did not significantly change. Qualitative data revealed that the coaching staff felt the session was worthwhile and enhanced aspects of team functioning. Online ROPDMS therefore appears to be a viable team-building method for practitioners seeking to strengthen social identity dimensions and friendship identity content during a national lockdown.

在国家封锁期间鼓励团结:以关系为导向的个人披露相互分享对学院足球教练团队运作的影响

本研究考察了在国家封锁期间，在线关系导向的个人披露相互分享(ROPDMS)干预对各种群体功能措施的影响。来自某职业女子足球学院的12名足球教练和1名资深工作人员公开分享了彼此不为人知的个人故事。社会认同维度(群体内关系、认知中心性和群体内情感)、友谊认同内容、社会支持、自尊和一个非等效因变量在四个时间点上进行测量，而社会验证在ROPDMS后立即和4周获得。定量数据显示，在ROPDMS后，群体内联系、认知中心性和友谊认同内容显著增加，而非等效因变量没有显著变化。定性数据显示，教练组认为这次会议是值得的，并增强了团队运作的各个方面。因此，对于在全国封锁期间寻求加强社会认同维度和友谊认同内容的从业者来说，在线ROPDMS似乎是一种可行的团队建设方法。
