Document Summary

Confidence in their own capability to do something with the skills they have; situation specific self-confidence. Various determinants and outcomes of self-efficacy expectancies. Collective efficacy: a sense of collective competence shared among individuals when allocating, coordinating and integrating their resources in a successful concerted response to specific situational demands (the ability of a group to undergo a task) Efficacy influences selection of behaviour, intensity of behaviour, and persistence in behaviour. Magnitude and strength used to measure efficacy. One group told they were stronger than average, one was weaker. Those who received positive feedback performed better than trial 1; weaker than average group did worse than trial 1. Past performance success can contribute to source of collective efficacy which can lead to teams performing better/worse. Purpose was the examine the relationship between cohesion and work output/performance. Perceptions of cohesion would be positively associated with the work-output of athletes training for competition.
