Abstract
Before completing a team-based dart-throwing activity, 80 undergraduates were randomly assigned to one of three preperformance self-talk conditions: (a) self-talk statements that focused upon one’s personal capabilities, (b) self-talk statements emphasizing the group’s capabilities, or (c) a control condition where neutral statements were implemented. Participants in all conditions subsequently rated their confidence in their own (i.e. self-efficacy) as well as their team’s (i.e. collective efficacy) capabilities, before carrying out the task. Overall, self-efficacy, collective efficacy, and performance indicators were all greatest for individuals who practised self-talk focusing on the group’s capabilities, as opposed to individual-focused and neutral conditions. Findings are considered with respect to their novel theoretical contribution to the social cognition literature and their implications for fostering efficacy perceptions and team performance.
