Self-efficacy, personal goals, and wrestlers' self-regulation
Article Abstract:
A study of wrestlers' self-regulation reveals that the self-regulatory model is valid to assess the performance process of individuals. The study supports the role of self-efficacy for overtime performance, but its connection is influenced by personal goals. The perceptions of wrestlers regarding their capability and future performance are influenced by their present performance. There is a need to implement goal-setting programs as a method of intervention to address the self-regulatory process. However, the results of this study may not be applicable to team sports.
