PSYCHOLOGICAL SKILLS PROFILES OF ATHLETES: THE EFFECTS OF FEEDBACK

Pages 161-170 | Published online: 11 Feb 2011
 

Abstract

In an interrupted time series design with switching replications, three groups of club golfers received feedback on their psychological and psychomotor skills and level of involvement in golf as measured by the scales of the Golf Performance Survey. Repeated measures on these skills and performance levels in competition were obtained in the weeks before and after the feedback sessions to evaluate both short and long term effects. Multivariate analyses of the data revealed some improvement in the psychological and psychomotor skills of the participants, but no significant effects on performance. Although the profiling of strengths and weaknesses is often regarded as an important component of performance enhancement interventions, the results of this study suggest that subsequent training in those skills is necessary if the interventions are to be effective with athletes.
