An exploration of the existence and development of shared understanding between football dyads

Malone, Michael January 2018 (has links)
The purpose of this programme of research was to investigate the existence and development of shared understanding between football dyads through quantitative and qualitative research methods. Research has considered the importance of shared understanding between team members (Williamson and Cox 2014, Gershgoren et al. 2016) but rarely dyads within teams (i.e. Blickensderfer et al. 2010). Study One attempted to establish the existence of shared understanding between twenty football dyads. Study Two explored the levels of shared understanding displayed by forty-five defensive football dyads in game situations that had either a clear correct course of action or when there was no clear correct course of action. Through an interview-based approach, Study Three investigated potential factors that could contribute to the development of shared understanding between football dyads, based on the suggestions of twelve football players. Through these different methods, the three studies have provided evidence to support the existence and development of shared understanding between football dyads. The main findings of the thesis (a) shared understanding exists between dyads who have experience performing together, (b) when dyads are in a situation where there is a clear and correct option available, they are more likely to choose the same option based on their own individual experience, (c) when dyads are in a situation where there is no clear and correct option available, they are more likely to pick the same option based on their experience performing together, (d) experience performing together, having an efficient relationship with their partner, effective communication methods between one another and the role of the coach facilitated the development of shared understanding between dyads and (e) these factors facilitate an effective shared mental model between dyads.

Souza Júnior, Orlando Marreiro de 27 September 2007 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-08-03T16:34:42Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 ORLANDO MARREIRO DE SOUZA JUNIOR.pdf: 469087 bytes, checksum: acc82f9b46fa6f2170380cae29d7d0a3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-09-27 / This study objectives to describe the strategies of coping used by practitioners of martial arts; to relate the strategies of coping used by beginning practitioners in martial arts with those used by practitioners with experience; and to relate the strategies of coping to the time of practises of the martial arts. Mens between 15 and 56 years old, most of them were single mens, students till high school, thus distributed: 94 practitioners of Kung Fu Chinese, Kung Fu Vietnamese (Qwan Ki Do), Taekwondo and Karatê similar martial arts of contact technical. They had been distributed in two groups: Group 1 - 67 practitioners with time of practise up to 12 months but they don´t have "black belt" necessary. In this group, there are just teachers and just practitioners and Group 2 - 27 practitioners called beginning, till 12 months of experience. It was used Escala de Modos de Enfrentamento de Problemas: EMEP and a Questionary. The data had been submitted to the Statistical Package will be the Social Science (SPSS), version 15.0 for Windows for descriptive statistical analysis and r-Person. The results had indicated the strategies of coping used by these beginning practitioners or those have black belt. Analyzes showed differences not so important between two groups. In an in agreement understanding the average point of the scale, could be observed that the strategies of coping with "care on problem" and "searching for social support", present a good average of use (steady). It means they use them inside of a standard adjusted in both the groups. It is interesting also to observe about "strategies on the emotion", these are between the observed average minors. The practitioners use these strategies but just a little, denoting more than emotional control in relation to the other strategies. Other important information is that with more time dedicated to Martial Arts teaching, more strategies of social support they develop. Of a logical point of view, this relationship with pupils during teaching helps to better contact social.(AU) / O presente estudo teve por objetivos, descrever as estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas por praticantes de artes marciais; relacionar as estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas por praticantes iniciantes em artes marciais com aquelas utilizadas por praticantes formados; e relacionar as estratégias de enfrentamento ao tempo de pratica das artes marciais. Participaram 94 sujeitos do sexo masculino, numa faixa etária de 15 até 56 anos, com nível de instrução médio, praticantes de: Kung Fu Chinês, Kung Fu Vietnamita (Qwan Ki Do), Taekwondo e Karatê, artes marciais de contato semelhantes tecnicamente. Foram distribuídos em dois grupos: Grupo 1 67 praticantes com tempo de pratica superior a 12 meses podendo ser ou não formados faixa-preta, ou seja, aqueles que tiveram experiência, treino e estudo necessários exigidos dentro de sua modalidade marcial e entre esses estão incluídos também os que se formaram e lecionam e o Grupo 2 - 27 praticantes chamados iniciantes, com tempo de prática compreendido até 12 meses. Utilizou-se a Escala de Modos de Enfrentamento de Problemas: EMEP e um Questionário. Os dados foram submetidos ao Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), versão 15.0 para Windows, para analise estatística descritiva e r-Person. Os resultados indicaram que quanto ao uso de estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas por estes praticantes de artes marciais não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre os dois diferentes grupos. Numa compreensão conforme o ponto médio da escala pôde-se observar que as estratégias de enfrentamento focado no problema e busca de suporte social, apresentaram uma média de utilização (estável); isso significa que os sujeitos utilizam-nas dentro de um padrão adequado em ambos os grupos. É interessante também observar que com relação à estratégias focadas na emoção, estas estão entre as menores médias observadas. Isto significa que os sujeitos praticantes de artes marciais utilizam menos estas estratégias, denotando pouco mais de controle emocional em relação às outras estratégias. Outros aspectos interessantes, dizem respeito a um índice significativo, ou uma relação entre os anos de ensino e busca de suporte social entre os sujeitos do Grupo 1 (formados que lecionam). Pode-se entender que quanto mais tempo essas pessoas se dedicam ao ensino, mais estratégias de suporte social eles desenvolvem. De um ponto de vista lógico, pode-se dizer que essa convivência com alunos durante os anos que o sujeito leciona, também favorece um melhor contato social.

Afetividade e Ambiente Esportivo: Sentimentos e EmoÃÃes de Atletas de CompetiÃÃo / Affection and sportif environmental: fellings and emotions in compection athlethes.

LÃvia Gomes Viana 18 March 2009 (has links)
FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / A presente pesquisa objetivou estudar as emoÃÃes no ambiente esportivo a partir da articulaÃÃo entre a Psicologia Ambiental e a Psicologia do Esporte. Esse estudo possibilitou a formulaÃÃo de uma nova relaÃÃo entre emoÃÃo e ambiente esportivo a partir dos estudos da afetividade. Para isso, investigamos a afetividade (sentimentos e emoÃÃes) de atletas de competiÃÃo de diversas modalidades esportivas. Utilizamos como metodologia de apreensÃo dos afetos os mapas afetivos, essa metodologia de investigaÃÃo cientÃfica foi cunhada por Bomfim (2003) em sua pesquisa de doutorado. A partir dos mapas afetivos investigamos as emoÃÃes dos sujeitos em relaÃÃo aos ambientes por meio de desenhos e metÃforas, permitindo a elaboraÃÃo de imagens que apontam para a compreensÃo da afetividade em relaÃÃo aos ambientes. Participaram dessa pesquisa 81 atletas, escolhidos por conveniÃncia e saturaÃÃo, formalizando um estudo do tipo analÃtico-interpretativo (qualitativo) com uma anÃlise estatÃstica complementar proporcionada por uma escala Likert. Os mapas afetivos permitem a construÃÃo de imagens afetivas que relacionam a vinculaÃÃo do indivÃduo ao ambiente quando sÃo imagens que geram estima positiva e potencializam a aÃÃo dos indivÃduos. Mas tambÃm podem gerar estima negativa na relaÃÃo do sujeito com o ambiente. Nesse estudo, os atletas de competiÃÃo elaboraram as imagens de pertencimento, agradabilidade, atraÃÃo, contrastes, inseguranÃa e destruiÃÃo. As imagens com estima positiva foram a de agradabilidade, pertencimento, contraste e atraÃÃo, enquanto que as imagens que geraram estima negativa foram a de destruiÃÃo e inseguranÃa. A imagem de agradabilidade foi elaborada pela maioria, nela os atletas referem-se ao ambiente esportivo com qualidades e sentimentos como sendo de um ambiente Ãtimo, bonito e harmonioso. Na imagem de pertencimento, os indivÃduos que percebem a relaÃÃo com o ambiente esportivo como uma possibilidade para bons encontros e aproximaÃÃo com seus semelhantes. A imagem de contrastes se relacionada ao ambiente esportivo no qual os atletas representam com sentimentos, emoÃÃes e palavras contraditÃrias que apresentam uma polarizaÃÃo positiva e negativa. A imagem de atraÃÃo à aquela em que os atletas percebem seu ambiente esportivo como propiciador de crescimento, aprendizado e superaÃÃo. Jà as imagens com estima negativa, destruiÃÃo e inseguranÃa, foram elaboradas por uma parcela mÃnima dos respondentes, mas possibilitou uma rica reflexÃo sobre a possibilidade do ambiente esportivo nÃo ser potencializador das aÃÃes dos atletas. Esses resultados foram articulados ao significado de desempenho esportivo elaborado pelos prÃprios atletas. Verificamos que os ambientes esportivos que geraram imagens com estima positiva â agradabilidade, pertencimento, contrastes e atraÃÃo â parecem favorecer a uma idÃia de desempenho ligado a metas de processo o que contribuÃa para a aÃÃo dos atletas. Jà para as imagens com estima negativa percebemos que a noÃÃo de desempenho ligava-se a metas de resultado o que dificulta a aÃÃo dos atletas e a vinculaÃÃo com o seu ambiente esportivo. Diante desses resultados a compreensÃo das emoÃÃes no ambiente esportivo a partir da afetividade, pÃde permitir que tÃcnicos, atletas e psicÃlogos desportivos planejem o envolvimento dos atletas ao esporte nÃo somente focando a preparaÃÃo fÃsica, mas tambÃm atentando para a identificaÃÃo dos atletas com seus ambientes, pois essa vinculaÃÃo mostrou ser potencializadora das aÃÃes dos indivÃduos o que pode levar a uma melhora do desempenho. / This research aimed to explore the emotions in the environment of sport links between Environmental Psychology and Psychology of Sports. This study enabled the formulation of a new relationship between emotion and sporting environment from studies of affection. For this, we investigated the affective (feelings and emotions) from competition of athletes from various sports. We utilize the methodology of the seizure of affection affective maps, the methodology of scientific research was coined by Bomfim (2003) in their search for doctorate. From the maps the emotional feelings of the subjects investigated in relation to environments using drawings and metaphors, allowing the production of images that point to understand the affection for environments. 81 athletes participated in this research, chosen for convenience and saturation, formalizing an analytical study of type-interpretative (qualitative) with an additional statistical analysis provided by a Likert scale. The maps allow the construction of affective emotional images that relate to linking the individual to the environment when there are images that generate positive esteem and lead to action of individuals. But may also generate negative estimates in respect of the subject with the environment. In this study, athletes in competition produced images of belonging, pleasantness, attraction, contrast, insecurity and destruction. The images were positive with estimates of the pleasantness, proximity, contrast and attraction, while the negative images that were generated estimates of the destruction and insecurity. The image of pleasantness was prepared by the majority of the athletes it relates to the environment with good qualities and feelings as a great environment, beautiful and harmonious. The image of belonging, individuals who perceive the relationship with the environment as a good opportunity for good approximation to their meetings and similar. The image contrast is related to the sporting environment in which the athletes to represent feelings, emotions and words that have a contradictory positive and negative polarization. The image of attraction is that in which the athletes perceive their environment as offering good growth, learning and overcoming. Those negative images with esteem, insecurity and destruction, were prepared by a minimum of respondents, but has a rich reflection on the possibility of the sports environment is not enhanced the actions of athletes. These results were linked to the meaning of sports performance prepared by the athletes. We note that sports environments that generated images with positive esteem - pleasantness, proximity, contrast and attraction - seems to promote an idea of performance targets linked to the process contributing to the action of the athletes. For the images with negative estimates found that the concept of performance targets linked to the outcome of hampering the action of the athletes and their linkage with the sports environment. From these results the understanding of emotions in the sports environment from affection, could enable technicians, athletes and sports psychologists plan the involvement of athletes in sports not only focusing on the physical preparation, but also paying attention to the identification of athletes with their environments, because this binding was shown to be enhanced the actions of individuals which can lead to an improvement in performance.

Impacto e processo de um projeto de educação pelo esporte no desenvolvimento infantil

Machado, Paula Xavier January 2006 (has links)
Trata-se de um estudo longitudinal, com pré-teste (T1) e pós-teste (T2), que avaliou o impacto e o processo de um projeto de educação pelo esporte no desenvolvimento psicológico das crianças participantes. Participaram 45 crianças de 6 a 11 anos de idade, que freqüentavam entre a 1a. e a 4a. série do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública, distribuídas em três grupos: G1 (24 crianças integrantes do projeto de educação pelo esporte); G2 (15 crianças que compuseram o grupo de comparação); e, G3 (seis crianças que iniciaram, mas desistiram de participar do projeto ao longo da intervenção, não sendo avaliadas em T2). Também participaram 18 famílias do G1 e os professores dos membros dos três grupos. O impacto foi avaliado pelas diferenças nos escores em desempenho escolar, estresse, qualidade de vida e expectativas e percepções em relação ao projeto esportivo. Os professores avaliaram atitudes acadêmicas e sociais de G1, G2 e G3. Membros das famílias de G1 foram entrevistados sobre expectativas e percepções do projeto esportivo e atitudes acadêmicas e sociais das crianças. Os resultados revelaram que, de T1 para T2, houve um aumento significativo no desempenho escolar em G1 e em G2. O nível de estresse infantil diminuiu para todas as crianças, de T1 para T2, embora tenha significância apenas para G1. A percepção da qualidade de vida diminuiu, entre T1 e T2, para G1 e G2, mas foi significativo apenas para G2. Não houve diferença significativa no modo como os professores avaliaram G1 e G2, em T1 e em T2. Os professores avaliaram G1 como significativamente melhor do que G3 em T1. Também são apresentados resultados de análise do conteúdo das entrevistas realizadas com crianças e famílias do G1. O processo foi avaliado qualitativamente pela teoria dos Quatro Pilares da Educação e pela inserção ecológica. Os resultados dos dados da avaliação de processo e de impacto permitem concluir que o projeto de educação pelo esporte teve impacto no desenvolvimento psicológico das crianças participantes. / This longitudinal study, pretest (T1) and post test (T2), aims to evaluate the impact and the process on the psychological development in children of an education through sports project project of education through sports. Fourty five first to fourth grade children of a public school, ranging from 6 to 11 years old, participated in the study. They were separated in 3 groups: G1 (24 children sport project participants); G2 (n=15, comparison group); and, G3 (6 children who started the project but discontinued participation, and were not evaluated in T2). Eighteen families of G1 children and teachers of the members from all three groups also participated. The impact was evaluated considering the differences in school performance, stress and life style scores, as well as expectations and perceptions concerning the sport project. The teachers graded academic and social attitudes of G1, G2 and G3. Family members of G1 were asked about the children expectations and perceptions related to the project, and also about their academic and social attitudes. Results showed that, in G1 and G2 groups, there was a statistically significant increase in school performance from T1 to T2. The average stress score was lower in T2 compared to T1 for all three groups, although this decrease was only statistically significant for G1. Life style perception decreased between T1 and T2 for G1 and G2, but only significantly for G2. There was no difference in the way teachers evaluated G1 and G2 in T1 and T2. Teachers also evaluated G1 as significantly better than G3 in T1. In addition, results of the analysis of the interview with families and children from G1 are shown. The process was qualitatively evaluated based on the “Quatro Pilares da Educação” theory and the ecological insertion. The resulting data from process and impact evaluation allows to infer that the education through sport project had an impact in psychological development of the participant children.
