Abstract
- Within team sport, cohesion is associated with group level outcomes such as team performance hut also with beneficial individual outcomes, which may include reduced levels of anxiety associated with self-presentational concerns (Canon, Estabrooks, Horton, Prapavessis, & Hausenblas, 1999) inherent in sport competition (Leary, 1992). The purpose was to examine the relationship between perceptions of cohesion and self-presentational concerns. Competitive team sport athletes (N=163) completed measures of cohesion, self-presentational concerns and trait sport anxiety. Structural Equation Modeling determined that perceptions of cohesion (R= -.20) accounted for 4% of the variance of self-presentation in sport. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
