“…Results showed that on large football teams, subgroups emerged as members identified with offensive or defensive units. The authors and other researchers (e.g., Carron, 1982;Eys et al, 2014) noted that subgroups (i.e., those that emerge from a team's structural design) and cliques (i.e., tight-knit emergent subgroups built upon reciprocal relationships; for a review, see Martin, Bruner, Eys, & Spink, 2014) can damage the formation of a cohesive team. Accordingly, it may thus be important for researchers to consider the existence of subgroups and cliques and whether group norms vary between those subgroups and other operationalizations of group size (e.g., dress or team roster).…”

“…From reviewing the group dynamics literature regarding gender (e.g., Bruner & Spink, 2011;Carron et al, 2002;Deaux, 1976;Eys et al, 2014), it was predicted that adolescent female athletes would have stronger perceptions of group norms than adolescent males (Hypothesis 1).…”

“…Despite this early acknowledgment, there remains minimal research examining the influence of various factors on the development of and conformity to group norms in sport. One personal factor that has received increasing attention in group dynamics in the activity literature is gender (e.g., Bruner & Spink, 2011;Carron, Colman, Wheeler, & Stevens, 2002;Eys, Ohlert, Evans, Wolf, Martin, & Vanbussel, 2014). Colman and Carron (2001) investigated gender in an individual sport context as a potential predictor of athletes' perceptions of norms for competition, practice, social setting, and off-season contexts.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate youth athletes' perceptions of group norms for competition, practice, and social setting contexts in relation to personal and social factors. A secondary purpose of this study was to examine the interactions of the personal and situation factors on perceptions of group norms. Participants included 424 athletes from 35 high school sport teams who completed a survey assessing team norms in competition, practice, and social settings. Multilevel analysis results revealed differences in group norms by gender as well as gender by team tenure and gender by sport type interactions. Female teams held higher perceptions of norms for competition, practice, and social settings than male teams. Interactions between gender and team tenure and gender and sport type revealed significant differences in practice norms. No differences were found in norms by group size. The findings suggest that examining the characteristics of the team members (i.e., gender, team tenure) and team (i.e., type of sport) may enhance our understanding of group norms in a youth sport setting.

“…Também foi relatada a importância de organizarem reuniões sociais fora do cenário esportivo formal, buscando influenciar positivamente na coesão da equipe e melhorar o desempenho no esporte. Eys et al (2015) buscaram explorar as percepções da relação coesão-desempenho por treinadores que lideraram equipes de ambos os sexos. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com treinadores canadenses e alemães com experiências anteriores, onde lideraram equipes esportivas masculinas e femininas.…”

Estudo exploratório da Coesão em atletas juniores de futebol

O objetivo foi investigar a coesão em atletas de futebol júnior. Foram analisados 162 atletas que participaram da Copa São Paulo. Para avaliar a coesão foi utilizado o Questionário de Ambiente de Grupo (QAG). Na análise estatística exploratória foram realizadas análises de estatísticas descritivas, análise multivariada de variância (MANOVA) e ANOVA para medidas repetidas ambas com post hoc teste de Bonferroni. Os resultados apontaram para níveis de coesão acima da média esperada tanto na dimensão “envolvimento pessoal” quanto “para a equipe” e a maior incidência de resultados importantes estatisticamente foram encontrados na comparação entre as posições de jogo. Parece ser possível indicar que as diferenças entre os níveis de coesão estão mais presentes quando analisamos a posição de jogo do que para idade, escolaridade e tempo de prática. Portanto, está mais centrada nas dinâmicas relacionais de grupo do que em características individuais dos atletas.

“…Numerous prior studies have been proven the positive and significant relationship between team cohesion and the performances of players (Alemu & Babu, 2012;Beal, Cohen, Burke, & McLendon, 2003;Brawley, Carron, & Widmeyer, 1993;Bray & Whaley, 2001;Carron & Chelladurai, 1981a;Carron, Bray, & Eye, 2002;Carron, Colman, Wheeler, & Stevens, 2002;Chang, Duck, & Bordia, 2006;Jacob & Carron, 1998;Manning, 2007;Murray, 2006;Mullen & Copper, 1994;Mohd Zainal & Rosli, 2012;Williams & Widmeyer, 1991;Eys, Ohlert, Evans, Wolf, Martin, Bussel, & Steins, 2015).

The primary objective of the existing paper deals with to examine the relationship of hockey coaches and team cohesion with the performance of field hockey players of Pakistan and their impact on players' performance. However the secondary objective was to measure the field performance of hockey players on practical measures. The research methodology is based on both descriptive and inferential statistical approaches. The descriptive data was collected in the form of field performance tests (technical skills and fitness capabilities) while the inferential data perceived by players was collected using survey questionnaire. A number of 296 national field hockey players of Pakistan were selected from 14 national departments of field hockey as samples. Descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression analysis were employed through SPSS (version 21.0). The results of the field performance tests were found below than average (weaker) in technical skills and fitness capabilities of national field hockey players of Pakistan. However, the findings of the inferential analysis revealed that hockey coaches and team cohesion have positive and significant relationships with the performance of field hockey players. Implications of existing study were also briefed.
