Abstract: This study explored person-related sources of variance in athletes’ efficacy beliefs and performances when performing in pairs with distinguishable roles differing in partner dependence. College cheerleaders (n = 102) performed their role in repeated performance trials of two low- and two high-difficulty paired-stunt tasks with three different partners. Data were obtained on self-, other-, and collective efficacies and subjective performances, and objective performance assessments were obtained from digital recordings. Using the Social Relations Model framework, total variance in each belief/assessment was partitioned, for each role, into numerical components of person-related variance relative to the self, the other, and the collective. Variance component by performance role by task-difficulty RM-ANOVAs revealed the largest person-related variance component differed by athlete role and increased in size in high-difficulty tasks. Results suggest the extent athlete performance depends on a partner relates to the extent the partner is a source of self-, other-, and collective efficacy.

Athlete confidence when performance depends on others

What is it about?

Athlete confidence is linked to positive performance outcomes. This article is about understanding how much an athlete’s confidence depends on personal abilities and/or a teammate’s abilities when performance is a collective effort. The results indicate that those performing in high-dependence role tend to rate their confidence beliefs based on their teammate, whereas those performing in a low-dependence role tend to rate their confidence beliefs based on their own abilities.

Why is it important?

If for some athletes, information about a teammate’s abilities is a source of self-confidence, then we have a more directed intervention for improving athlete confidence (and ultimately performance) that we otherwise would have ignored using typical approaches. This article demonstrates extensions and integration of current theories on self-, other-, and collective confidence.
