Psychological Testing and Assessment Sport Psychology and Performance Motivation and Self-Concept in Sports

Abstract

40 male college students (10 high need-for-approval and 10 low need-for-approval S s after positive approval conditions, and 10 high need-for-approval and 10 low need-for-approval S s after negative approval conditions) completed 5 60-sec. trials on the pursuit rotor. High need-for-approval S s, regardless of conditions, showed a significantly higher rate of performance than did low need-for-approval S s. Low need-for-approval S s showed some effect of positive and negative conditions but this difference did not reach significance. Indications for further research with regard to methodological problems of assessing performance, the stability of the need for approval and pursuit rotor performance relationship over extended practice and the investigation of the relationship of need for approval and pursuit rotor performance of female S s were suggested.
