Aspects of Vealey Sports Confidence Model
- Sporting Context
- Self-Confidence Trait OR Competitive Orientation
- Self-Confidence State
- Behavioural Response (performance of skill)
- Subjective Outcome
Explaining the process of Vealey Sports Confidence Model
- Existing level of sports confidence (SC-trait) and competitiveness
- Levels of these effect how much SC-state we can have during comp situ
- SC-state dictates behaviour shown & skill level of performance
- High SC-state = behaviour confident = performance improves
- Low SC-state = tentative performance / incorrect
- After performance we have satisfaction/disappointment
- Result will affect SC-trait –> more success = more confidence = more success
Bandura’s Theory of Self-Efficacy
4 factors:
- Performance accomplishment (past experiences)
- Vicarious experiences (modelling by others)
- Social persuasion (coaching & evaluative feedback)
- Physiological & emotional states
These lead to Self-Efficacy Judgements and then to Behaviour/Performance
