Abstract
-
Fifty-four performance impaired competitive Karate athletes (35 males and 19 females aged 7 to 17 years) were randomly assigned to a control group or one of three videotaped self-modeling treatments. Self-modeling treatments systematically differed regarding the amount of contextual information presented. It was hypothesized that treatments with higher amounts of contextual information would result in greater reductions of performance impairment as measured by actual Karate performance. In addition, a self-report Karate Performance Self-efficacy Questionnaire was created and employed to test if changes in self-efficacy were causally related to shifts in competitive Karate performance. A significant difference attributable to treatment group was found at posttest for the measures of Competitive Karate Performance, Competitive Self-Efficacy and amount of Skill Recovery. Furthermore, as predicted, specific contrasts indicated that each successively higher level of treatment was associated with greater improvements in Competitive Karate Performance. Evidence also supported the hypothesis that self-efficacy operates as a causal variable in influencing Competitive Karate Performance. Data was also collected to test if a relationship existed between Performance Impairment and risk for general problems with social anxiety. Results indicated that a strong relationship does exist. A discussion of the educational implications of the findings is included.
