The speaker discusses their doctoral study in physical education, with an emphasis on sports psychology, which was completed in August 2022. The research involved three papers, one of which validated a sports self-efficacy questionnaire for the Brazilian context. The study emphasized the importance of self-efficacy as a component of mental toughness, influencing athletes' decision-making, motivation, and team performance, especially in the face of challenges.

The speaker highlights the contributions of Professor Albert Bandura, a key figure in the field, known for his theory of social learning and the concept of self-efficacy, which he viewed as crucial for overcoming life's obstacles. Initial plans for the study included surveying athletes from Brazil's 2020 National League but were hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, data was collected from five of six teams, utilizing various assessment tools and engaging in statistical analyses.

Results indicated high levels of perceived self-efficacy and mental toughness among athletes, with self-efficacy positively correlating with victories and negatively correlating with errors. The findings aim to provide value to sports psychologists and coaches in optimizing training and performance, emphasizing the need to cultivate self-efficacy and resilience in athletes. Additionally, the pandemic's impact on team dynamics and athlete availability is acknowledged.

00:00.075 --> 00:04.365
This study was part of my doctorate in physical education

00:05.075 --> 00:07.645
with, emphasis on sports psychology,

00:08.095 --> 00:11.525
which I completed in August, 2022

00:12.145 --> 00:14.245
and three papers were produced.

00:14.665 --> 00:17.125
One is a validation of,

00:17.425 --> 00:19.605
the sports self-efficacy questionnaire

00:20.265 --> 00:22.045
for the Brazilian Cox context.

00:22.905 --> 00:24.925
And, a systematic review.

00:25.265 --> 00:28.365
And this paper on,

00:29.235 --> 00:33.005
self-efficacy is considerate, component

00:33.005 --> 00:34.005
of mental toughness

00:34.545 --> 00:38.285
and concern people's beliefs in their own capabilities

00:38.465 --> 00:39.485
to achieve something,

00:40.545 --> 00:43.485
and the belief in the ability to organize

00:43.625 --> 00:46.925
and execute the course of action necessary

00:47.105 --> 00:49.685
to obtain certain achievements.

00:50.465 --> 00:54.965
Uh, self-efficacy plays a key role in, in term

00:55.025 --> 00:57.565
of understanding the dynamics

00:57.745 --> 01:00.885
and performance of sparks teams, in

01:00.885 --> 01:05.205
that it influences athletes decision making, motivation,

01:05.665 --> 01:09.685
sparks engagement, as well as collective performance

01:10.265 --> 01:14.325
and the way which they will deal with spark failures.

01:14.865 --> 01:19.045
The main offer on this topic is Professor Albert Hondura,

01:19.745 --> 01:23.525
who was a Canadian psychologist, professor

01:23.625 --> 01:26.005
of psychology at Stanford University,

01:27.065 --> 01:31.205
but he unfortunately passed away in 2021,

01:31.785 --> 01:35.985
but left a great scientific legacy influenced

01:36.205 --> 01:40.345
by behaviorist theories like John Watson and Skinner.

01:40.765 --> 01:44.225
Uh, he created the theory of social learning

01:44.365 --> 01:46.225
of reciprocal determinism,

01:46.725 --> 01:50.825
and considering that behavior is determined from the

01:51.345 --> 01:55.425
consumers and reciprocal interaction between environmental,

01:56.145 --> 01:58.105
personal, and behavioral influences.

01:58.685 --> 02:02.745
Uh, Bandura often said that to achieve success,

02:03.055 --> 02:06.305
individuals need a sense of self-efficacy.

02:06.855 --> 02:10.705
They need to fight together with resilience to face lives,

02:10.915 --> 02:13.745
inevitable obstacles and inequalities.

02:14.175 --> 02:16.185
Initially, our idea was

02:16.325 --> 02:20.865
to do a survey involving all athletes from the 2020

02:21.465 --> 02:25.065
National League here in Brazil,

02:25.085 --> 02:28.265
but due the Covid 19 pandemic,

02:28.935 --> 02:30.265
this was not possible,

02:30.605 --> 02:33.385
and we had a certain delay in our research.

02:34.035 --> 02:36.845
However, we could collect from five

02:37.105 --> 02:41.205
of the six teams from Parana that compete in the league.

02:42.055 --> 02:44.115
Uh, we, we emphasized

02:44.115 --> 02:47.755
that in 2020 the league had 21 teams

02:48.575 --> 02:51.635
and six were from, they stayed

02:51.635 --> 02:53.355
with the most teams in the league.

02:54.525 --> 02:58.745
And all the five teams that, participated are still in

02:58.745 --> 03:02.125
The main National League, which is one

03:02.125 --> 03:04.125
of the strongest league on the planet.

03:04.605 --> 03:08.645
Considering that Brazilian food cell team is the first in

03:08.645 --> 03:12.445
the world making to the pandemic, some data were collected,

03:12.545 --> 03:14.365
remotely and only

03:15.185 --> 03:19.885
two teams collected in person respecting all, rules

03:20.505 --> 03:21.645
in forest at the time.

03:22.575 --> 03:25.275
Uh, one of the things did not consent

03:25.375 --> 03:27.315
to participate in the study

03:28.495 --> 03:30.995
and as instrument, we used,

03:31.415 --> 03:33.795
an athlete in electrification shift,

03:34.305 --> 03:37.155
perceived self-efficacy scale in sports,

03:37.735 --> 03:39.235
the mental TUR index

03:40.255 --> 03:44.275
and the performance, the data from national food solid 2020

03:44.905 --> 03:47.875
available for free on the lead's website.

03:48.845 --> 03:52.705
And the data was, analyzed using the coog

03:52.765 --> 03:57.425
of MOV test, many which may you test, experiments

03:57.425 --> 04:01.425
for relations and network analysis with the indicators

04:01.685 --> 04:04.145
of centrality, strength, proximity,

04:04.685 --> 04:06.505
and the degree of interation.

04:07.655 --> 04:11.635
So the results showed that the, the investigated sample

04:12.545 --> 04:16.915
presented high levels of perceived self-efficacy in sports

04:17.215 --> 04:19.205
and mental toughness.

04:19.785 --> 04:24.745
Uh, self-efficacy presented a positive relationship

04:24.855 --> 04:26.345
with the number of wins

04:27.005 --> 04:30.105
and negative relationships with the number

04:30.165 --> 04:32.185
of red cards and wrong passes.

04:33.065 --> 04:37.365
Mental toughness indirectly influenced this, these variables

04:38.215 --> 04:41.385
through its connection with self-efficacy

04:42.215 --> 04:45.115
and the best rank, the teams presented higher,

04:45.575 --> 04:49.155
higher amounts of goals for, falls,

04:49.645 --> 04:53.475
shots on goals, tackles, assists and wins.

04:54.595 --> 04:58.575
The time of b revealed an inverse relationship

04:58.685 --> 05:02.455
with the number of defects while age was

05:02.975 --> 05:06.575
positively related to the number of wrong PEs.

05:07.475 --> 05:10.535
The athletes showed a good levels of self-efficacy

05:10.875 --> 05:12.055
and metal toughness,

05:12.935 --> 05:16.235
and it was possible to note a good relationship

05:16.305 --> 05:19.475
between perceived self-efficacy, and sparks

05:19.655 --> 05:23.095
and metal toughness, which having,

05:23.885 --> 05:26.695
thought mindset seems to be important

05:26.795 --> 05:28.655
for the better self-efficacy.

05:29.315 --> 05:32.735
Uh, mainly because they have shown, to be

05:33.295 --> 05:36.695
intervening factors in variables such as tackling,

05:37.275 --> 05:40.735
passes and shots on goals which are fundamentals

05:40.795 --> 05:42.015
for good performance.

05:42.195 --> 05:46.895
And because of today, intermediation done

05:46.955 --> 05:50.695
by self-efficacy in the connection between mental toughness

05:51.355 --> 05:54.295
and other nodes of the, the network

05:54.975 --> 05:56.885
analysis, nonetheless,

05:57.695 --> 05:58.955
It is not worth it

05:58.955 --> 06:02.835
that more experienced athletes feel more effective than

06:03.185 --> 06:04.475
younger athletes.

06:05.425 --> 06:07.245
As practical implications.

06:07.665 --> 06:11.085
We hope that the, the present study, the present paper,

06:11.145 --> 06:14.565
can be used by sports psychologists

06:14.665 --> 06:18.605
and coach, as well as updates as a, a way

06:18.945 --> 06:22.805
of optimizing the process of training, competitions

06:23.385 --> 06:26.085
and giving sports performance.

06:26.785 --> 06:30.845
Uh, inducing positive emotions related to great achievements

06:30.845 --> 06:32.365
and strategies for coping

06:32.515 --> 06:36.085
with failure are important elements in this contest.

06:37.195 --> 06:40.695
Uh, and I think it's important to say that all,

06:40.875 --> 06:45.735
all the teams reported being with a reduced cast in relation

06:45.795 --> 06:46.975
to the regional cast

06:47.005 --> 06:51.535
because of the, the termination of contracts,

06:52.195 --> 06:55.655
of some assets and cons, spending goods

06:55.655 --> 06:57.895
because of the pandemic of.
