“…Although questions remain unanswered about the nature and content of self-talk and the most effective strategies for maximizing its benefits, even more questions arise about the personality antecedents of selftalk. Several instruments (Kendall, Howard, & Hays, 1989;Zervas, Stavrou, & Psychountaki, 2007) have been developed to assess various aspects of self-talk, but the focus of these instruments is generally too narrow to provide the broad overview that is needed at this early stage of self-talk research. Thus, this exploratory study focused on examining a broad range of self-talk topics, using a comprehensive questionnaire designed to investigate the nature, content, and usage of self-talk in sport.…”

The purpose of this exploratory study was to (a) examine self-talk dimensions in sport, (b) identify whether motivation styles (MS) are represented in this sample (Burton & Weiss, 2008), and (c) compare profiles on self-talk dimensions and related constructs. A sample of 214 adolescent female soccer players completed a comprehensive questionnaire to identify motivational styles and self-talk patterns. Factor analysis results revealed four self-talk frequency and three effectiveness dimensions, and cluster analysis identified four MSs that generally supported predictions. Finally, multi-variate analyses of variance results found profile differences generally consistent with predictions, although success-outperformed mastery-oriented performers. Discussion focuses on future research directions.

Initially, a preliminary inventory of 26 items was created to assess three self-talk dimensions, i.e., motivational self-talk, instructional self-talk and negative self-talk.…”

“…The identification of general content was carried out through adherence to standard guidelines (AERA, APA, & NCME, 1999), using a triangulated approach, systematic analysis, and checking procedures, as commonly used in the development of questionnaires (e.g. Johnston, Leung, Fielding, Tin, & Ho, 2003;Terry, Lane, Lane, & Keohane, 1999;Walker & Fraser, 2005;Zervas, Stavrou, & Psychountaki, 2007). This process initially involved a review and content analysis of empirically based literature considered relevant to talent development environments (see Martindale et al, 2005).…”

As sporting challenge at the elite level becomes ever harder, maximizing effectiveness of the talent development pathway is crucial. Reflecting this need, this paper describes the development of the Talent Development Environment Questionnaire, which has been designed to facilitate the development of sporting potential to world-class standard. The questionnaire measures the experiences of developing athletes in relation to empirically identified "key features" of effective talent development environments. The first phase involved the generation of questionnaire items with clear content and face validity. The second phase explored the factor structure and reliability. This was carried out with 590 developing athletes through application of exploratory factor analysis with oblique rotation, principal axis factoring extraction and cronbach alpha tests. This yielded a 59-item, seven-factor structure with good internal consistency (0.616-0.978). The Talent Development Environment Questionnaire appears to be a promising psychometric instrument that can potentially be useful for education and formative review in applied settings, and as a measurement tool in talent development research.
