Efficacy Beliefs in Coach,Athlete Dyads: Prospective Relationships Using Actor,Partner Interdependence Models

APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 2 2010
Ben Jackson
The overall purpose of the study was to investigate prospective actor and partner effects (cf. Kenny, Kashy, & Cook, 2006) of interpersonal efficacy beliefs in relation to relationship commitment, satisfaction, and effort within coach,athlete dyads. Fifty youth tennis players (mean age = 15.52 years, SD = 1.45) and their coaches (mean age = 40.17 years, SD = 13.71) provided data related to their self-efficacy, other-efficacy, and relation-inferred self-efficacy (RISE) beliefs mid-way through the competitive season. Three months later, participants provided data regarding personal effort, as well as relationship commitment and satisfaction. Actor,partner interdependence model analyses revealed positive actor effects for self-efficacy in relation to effort, and for other-efficacy in relation to commitment, effort, and satisfaction. Partner effects for other-efficacy were found in relation to relationship commitment and effort. Finally, actor and partner effects were also evident for RISE beliefs; however, these relationships were moderated by the individual's role (i.e. athlete or coach), such that the direction of actor and partner effects differed for athletes and coaches. Implications for fostering effective coach,athlete relationships are discussed. Cette recherche avait pour objectif général l'étude des retombées éventuelles sur l'acteur et son partenaire (Cf.: Kenny, Kashy & Cook, 2006) des croyances en l'efficience interpersonnelle en relation avec l'implication, la satisfaction et l'effort au sein de la dyade entraîneur-athlète. Cinquante jeunes joueurs de tennis (âge moyen = 15,52; ,= 1,45) et leurs entraîneurs (âge moyen = 40,17; ,= 13,71) ont fourni des données relatives à leurs représentations concernant l'auto-efficience, l'efficience d'autrui et l'auto-efficience émanant de la relation (RISE), cela au milieu de la période des compétitions. Trois mois plus tard, les sujets ont donné des informations se rapportant à leur effort personnel, leur implication relationnelle et leur satisfaction. Les analyses relevant du modèle de l'interdépendance acteur-partenaire ont révélé des conséquences positives pour l'acteur en ce qui concerne l'auto-efficience en relation avec l'effort et l'efficience d'autrui en relation avec l'implication, l'effort et la satisfaction. Les effets du partenaire pour l'efficacité d'autrui étaient en relation avec l'effort et l'implication relationnelle. Finalement, les effets du partenaire et de l'acteur apparaissaient également pour les croyances RISE; ces relations étaient toutefois modulées par les rôles individuels (athlète ou entraîneur), de telle sorte que le sens des effets acteur-partenaire différait pour les athlètes et les entraîneurs. On réfléchit aux applications permettant d'améliorer l'efficacité des relations athlète-entraîneur. [source]

Personality and social network effects on romantic relationships: a dyadic approach

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PERSONALITY, Issue 4 2004
Franz J. Neyer
The quality of romantic relationships and their associations with both partners' personality traits and social networks were studied in 100 younger couples. The similarity of partners was modest with respect to personality traits, and moderate to large with respect to the perceived quality of the partner relationship and their social networks. While similarity in personality was unrelated to relationship quality, dyadic analyses showed that one's perceived quality of relationship was better predicted by one's own personality (i.e. actor effects) than by the personality of one's partner (i.e. partner effects). Moreover, relationship quality could to some extent be predicted by the quality of the social network once the personality traits of each partner were controlled. Results are discussed from a transactional view of personality and relationships. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]

A Dyadic Examination of Daily Health Symptoms and Emotional Well-Being in Late-Life Couples,

FAMILY RELATIONS, Issue 5 2006
Jeremy B. Yorgason
Abstract: This study investigated the link between daily health symptoms and spousal emotional well-being in a sample of 96 older dyads. Higher negative mood and lower positive mood were associated with spousal symptoms in couples wherein husbands or wives reported higher average levels of symptoms. For wives, partner effects were moderated by husbands' marital satisfaction and illness severity. Specifically, higher husband marital satisfaction and illness severity were associated with higher negative mood and lower positive mood for wives on days where husbands reported higher symptom levels. In their work with later-life families, practitioners and educators should address long-term and daily health-related relationship stressors. [source]

Empathic accuracy and accommodative behavior among newly married couples

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, Issue 4 2002
Shelley Dean Kilpatrick
An established method for assessing empathic accuracy was used to examine the consequences of accurate understanding during the early years of marriage. Structural equation modeling analyses simultaneously examined within,individual and across,partner associations among variables (actor effects and partner effects). During the first year of marriage, actor effects and partner effects were observed for two presumed consequences of empathic accuracy,accommodative behavior and couple well,being. Actor effects, partner effects, or both were observed for three possible determinants of empathic accuracy,commitment level, partner perspective,taking, and psychological femininity. Levels of empathic accuracy reliably declined following the first year of marriage, as did the strength of the above,noted associations with empathic accuracy. [source]
