Self-Modeling and Competitive Beam Performance Enhancement Examined Within a Self-Regulation Perspective

摘要

The observation of oneself on video that has been edited to show a performance level higher than one can actually perform is a feedforward form of modeling, termed self-modeling (SM; Dowrick, 199912. Dowrick , P. W. 1999 . A review of self-modeling and related interventions . Applied and Preventive Psychology , 8 : 23 - 29 . [CrossRef], [Web of Science ®]View all references). In this research, gymnasts alternated between viewing and not viewing a SM video during their competitive season. Results showed that gymnasts attained significantly higher beam scores when they viewed the video versus when they did not. No differences in self-efficacy were observed using a quantitative measure; however, a qualitative analysis of interviews based on Zimmerman's (2000)32. Ram , N. and McCullagh , P. 2003 .
