Abstract

The present study focused on collective efficacy (CE) among Japanese athletes. First, in study I, we prepared a CE scale to gauge psychological performance among 144 university athletes by revising a psychological performance self-efficacy scale using principle component analysis. The scale rated CEs for patience, aggressiveness, volition for self-realization, volition for winning, self-control, ability to relax, concentration, confidence, strategic planning, cooperation, and total psychological performance. The scale's content validity, test-retest reliability, and internal consistency were ensured. In study II, the psychological performance CE scores did not differ by gender, and the CE scores for non-regular players were higher than those for regular players. Some psychological performance CE scores were related to cooperation a measurement of psychological competitive ability. Study III identified the relationship between psychological performance CE and group size (number of team members), demonstrating that some psychological performance CE prior to games was related to some aspect of psychological performance or athletes' evaluation of game performance. It was concluded that the psychological performance CE scale would be a useful measurement for assessing a team's CE in psychological performance. In the future, this could be a valuable approach for obtaining basic data on psychological performance CE and for using CE as an indicator of team status for intervention in effective team-building.<br>
