Abstract

Perception of cohesion and imagery use among 45 elite team sport players in Botswana were assessed with the Group Environment Questionnaire (Carron et al., 1985) and the Sport Imagery Questionnaire (Hall et al., 1998) to determine whether a relationship exists between the variables, and whether imagery use will significantly predict team cohesion. Results of the correlation analysis revealed a significant (p .05) composite effect of imagery use on cohesion, while a shared variance of 6.7% was recorded for both variables. Furthermore it was revealed that Motivational Specific and Cognitive General imagery use were significant (p<.05) predictors of cohesion as perceived by the team players. Findings further suggest that the cognitive and affective elements of perceived imagery and cohesion are reciprocally related on the basis of theories concerning the relationship between cognition and affect. The implications of these findings suggest that the team cohesion and imagery relationship could be used for team building and a team intervention tool with other cognitive variables.

博茨瓦纳团队运动运动员的凝聚力感知与运动中的意象运用

采用群体环境问卷(Carron et al.， 1985)和运动意象问卷(Hall et al.， 1998)对博茨瓦纳45名优秀团队运动运动员的凝聚力感知和意象使用进行了评估，以确定变量之间是否存在关系，以及意象使用是否会显著预测团队凝聚力。相关分析结果显示，图像使用对衔接的综合影响显著(p . 0.05)，而两个变量的共同方差为6.7%。此外，我们还发现，动机特定意象和认知一般意象的使用是团队成员感知凝聚力的显著预测因子(p< 0.05)。在认知和情感关系理论的基础上，研究结果进一步表明，感知意象和衔接的认知和情感因素是相互关联的。研究结果表明，团队凝聚力和意象关系可用于团队建设，并可与其他认知变量一起作为团队干预工具。
