The Forgotten Self-Talk Attribute: Examining Perceived Effectiveness Profiles and Patterns of Elite Female Junior Soccer Players

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the role of “perceived effectiveness” as a relevant self-talk (ST) attribute using an exploratory instrument designed to measure multiple ST dimensions/attributes as well as psychosocial correlate variables. A sample of 214 adolescent female soccer players were surveyed while participating in an Olympic Development Program Regional Camp. Correlational analysis demonstrated moderate relationships between perceived ST frequency and effectiveness and psychosocial correlates, with perceived effectiveness correlations similar to, or stronger than, frequency relationships. Cluster analysis identified three perceived ST effectiveness profiles (i.e., effective, ineffective and strategy-users), and MANOVA results found the effective ST profile demonstrated significantly more positive psychosocial outcomes than did the other two profiles, supporting perceived effectiveness as a key self-talk process attribute.
