“…In this way it is unlike constructs, such as self-esteem, that describe a general state of being. Notwithstanding this theoretical assumption about self-efficacy, a number of studies (see, e.g., Long and Haney, 10 Sherer et al 11 ) have tried to measure the amount of self-efficacy expressed by individuals about themselves in a general way. These efforts should likely not be construed as a true test of the construct.…”

Self-efficacy is posited in social cognitive theory as fundamental to behavior change. Few health behavior studies have examined self-efficacy prospectively, viewed it as part of a reciprocal behavioral process, or compared self-efficacy beliefs in the same population across different behaviors. This article first discusses self efficacy in its theoretical context and reviews the available prospective studies. Second, it explores self-efficacy as a predictor of disease management behaviors in 570 older women with heart disease. Although the R2 statistics in each case were modest, the construct is shown to be a statistically significant ( p < .05) predictor at both 4 and 12 months postbaseline of several disease management behaviors: using medicine as prescribed, getting adequate exercise, managing stress, and following a recommended diet. Building self-efficacy is likely a reasonable starting point for interventions aiming to enhance heart disease management behaviors of mature female patients.

“…A decrease in anxiety levels after the implementation of sport psychological interventions is not a strange phenomenon. Long (1984) and Long and Haney (1988) found that anxiety levels of joggers decreased significantly after stress-inoculation and progressive relaxation exercises. Kingston and Hardy (1997) found that process goals set by golf players have a positive effect on their self-efficacy, cognitive anxiety and self-confidence.…”

The core problem statement of this study is that SHIP® as a psychotherapeutic intervention has never been tested in a sport psychological context. The study on which this article is based attempted to address this specific lack of research in Sport Psychology. SHIP® focuses mainly on psychological processes such as healing and growth. Experts emphasize that research on psychological processes in sport is very important for the future of Sport Psychology. With the above considerations in mind, a study was done with two groups of adolescent tennis players (an experimental group and a control group). While the experimental group took part in the intervention the control group did not receive any intervention. Both groups were evaluated before, during and after the intervention using the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2), the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and Ryff's psychological well-being scale as measuring instruments. The results within the groups and between the groups were statistically analysed. The results indicated that the experimental group improved significantly in their ability to cope with competition stress, mood states and psychological well-being, while the control group remained almost unchanged on the above-mentioned attributes. The study found that SHIP® not only has therapeutic value, but can also impact positively on the potential and mental capacities of adolescent tennis players. It is concluded that SHIP® has definite value in the field of Sport Psychology.

“…People are not self-efficacious in general; rather their sense of efficacy is tied to particular behaviors and the situational context in which they occur. However, Sherer and Maddux (1982) and Long and Haney (1988) view self-efficacy as a general concept based on a broader sense of peoples' ability to perform a range o f actions in a variety of situations well. According to this more general view, self-efficacy is learned early in life and changes little during adulthood.…”
