So far, social psychology in sport has preliminary focused on team cohesion, and many studies and meta analyses tried to demonstrate a relation between cohesiveness of a team and it's performance. How a team really co-operates and how the individual actions are integrated towards a team action is a question that has received relatively little attention in research. This may, at least in part, be due to a lack of a theoretical framework for collective actions, a dearth that has only recently begun to challenge sport psychologists. In this presentation a framework for a comprehensive theory of teams in sport is outlined and its potential to integrate the following presentations is put up for discussion. Based on a model developed by von Cranach, Ochsenbein and Valach (1986), teams are information processing organisms, and team actions need to be investigated on two levels: the individual team member and the group as an entity. Elements to be considered are the task, the social structure, the information processing structure and the execution structure. Obviously, different task require different social structures, communication and co-ordination. From a cognitivist point of view, internal representations (or mental models) guide the behaviour mainly in situations requiring quick reactions and adaptations, were deliberate or contingency planning are difficult. In sport teams, the collective representation contains the elements of the team situation, that is team task and team members, and of the team processes, that is communication and co-operation. Different meta-perspectives may be distinguished and bear a potential to explain the actions of efficient teams. Cranach, M. von, Ochsenbein, G., & Valach, L.

In sport psychology research about emotional contagion in sport teams has been scarce (Reicherts & Horn, 2008). Emotional contagion is a process leading to a specific emotional state in an individual caused by the perception of another individual’s emotional expression (Hatfield, Cacioppo & Rapson, 1994). Apitzsch (2009) described emotional contagion as one reason for collapsing sport teams. The present study examined the occurrence of emotional contagion in dyads during a basketball task and the impact of a socially induced emotional state on performance. An experiment with between-subjects design was conducted. Participants (N=81, ♀=38, M=21.33 years, SD=1.45) were randomly assigned to one of two experimental conditions, by joining a confederate to compose a same gender, ad hoc team. The team was instructed to perform a basketball task as quickly as possible. The between-factor of the experimental design was the confederate’s emotional expression (positive or negative valence). The within-factor was participants’ emotional state, measured pre- and post-experimentally using PANAS (Krohne, Egloff, Kohlmann & Tausch, 1996). The basketball task was video-taped and the number of frames participants needed to complete the task was used to determine the individual performance. The confederate’s emotional expression was appraised in a significantly different manner across both experimental conditions by participants and video raters (MC). Mixed between-within subjects ANOVAs were conducted to examine the impact of the two conditions on participants’ scores on the PANAS subscales across two time periods (pre- and post-experimental). No significant interaction effects but substantial main effects for time were found on both PANAS subscales. Both groups showed an increase in positive and a reduction in negative PANAS scores across these two time periods. Nevertheless, video raters assessment of the emotional states expressed by participants was significantly different between the positive (M=3.23, SD=0.45) and negative condition (M=2.39, SD=0.53; t=7.64, p<.001, eta squared=.43). An independent-samples t-test indicated no difference in performance between conditions. Furthermore, no significant correlation between the extent of positive or negative emotional contagion and the number of frames was observed. The basketball task lead to an improvement of the emotional state of participants, independently of the condition. Even though participants PANAS scores indicated a tendency to emotional contagion, it was not statistically significant. This could be explained by the low task duration of approximately three minutes. Moreover, the performance of participants was unaffected by the experimental condition or the extent of positive or negative emotional contagion. Apitzsch, E. (2009).

Introduction So far, social psychology in sport has preliminary focused on team cohesion, and many studies and meta-analyses tried to demonstrate a relation between cohesiveness of a team and its performance. How a team really co-operates and how the individual actions are integrated towards a team action is a question that has received relatively little attention in research. This may, at least in part, be due to a lack of a theoretical framework for collective actions, a dearth that has only recently begun to challenge sport psychologists. Objectives In this presentation a framework for a comprehensive theory of teams in sport is outlined and its potential to integrate research in the domain of team performance and, more specifically, the following presentations, is put up for discussion. Method Based on a model developed by von Cranach, Ochsenbein and Valach (1986), teams are considered to be information processing organisms, and team actions need to be investigated on two levels: the individual team member and the group as an entity. Elements to be considered are the task, the social structure, the information processing structure and the execution structure. Obviously, different task require different social structures, communication processes and co-ordination of individual movements. Especially in rapid interactive sports planning and execution of movements based on feedback loops are not possible. Deliberate planning may be a solution mainly for offensive actions, whereas defensive actions have to adjust to the opponent team's actions. Consequently, mental representations must be developed to allow a feed-forward regulation of team member's actions. Results and Conclusions Some preliminary findings based on this conceptual framework as well as further consequences for empirical investigations will be presented.

In der Sportpsychologie gibt es bis anhin wenige Studien, welche sich mit dem Phänomen der sozialen Emotionsinduktion befassen (Reicherts & Horn, 2008). Die soziale Emotions-induktion ist ein Prozess, bei welchem der blosse emotionale Ausdruck einer Person ein emotionales Befinden bei einer anderen Person auslöst, welche diesen emotionalen Ausdruck wahrnimmt (McIntosh, Druckman & Zajonc, 1994). Von Apitzsch (2006) wird die soziale Emotionsinduktion in einem theoretischen Artikel als eine mögliche Ursache bezeichnet, warum es zu einem Kollaps von Teams im Sport kommen kann. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die beiden Fragestellungen, ob es beim Lösen einer sportbezogenen Aufgabe unter Teammitgliedern überhaupt zu sozialer Emotionsinduktion kommt und welche Auswirkungen sich daraus für die individuelle Leistung der Teammitglieder ergeben. Zu diesem Zweck wur-den zwei experimentelle Studien mit unterschiedlicher Methodik durchgeführt: Im ersten Experiment mit Between-Subjects Design wurden die Versuchsperson (N = 81, ♀ = 38, M = 21.33 Jahre, SD = 1.45) zufällig einer der beiden experimentellen Bedingungen zugeordnet, wobei sie auf einen Konfidenten trafen, mit welchem sie ein gleichgeschlechtliches Ad Hoc Team bildeten. Als Team mussten sie eine Basketballaufgabe so schnell wie möglich lösen. Der Zwischensubjekt-Faktor des experimentellen Designs was der emotionale Ausdruck des Konfidenten mit positiver oder negativer Valenz und der Innersubjekt-Faktor, das emotionale Befinden der Versuchspersonen, welches prä- und postexperimentell mit der Positive and Negative Affect Schedule erfasst wurde (PANAS: Krohne, Egloff, Kohlmann & Tausch, 1996). Die Zweiergruppe wurde beim Lösen der Basketballaufgabe auf Video aufgenommen und die Anzahl der Frames, welche die Versuchspersonen zur Aufgabenlösung brauchten, wurde als individuelles Leistungsmass verwendet. Im zweiten Experiment wurden dem Konfidenten drei Versuchspersonen (N = 78, ♀ = 33, M = 20.88 Jahre, SD = 1.64) zugeordnet und als Gruppe durchliefen sie beide experimentellen Bedingungen, womit es sich also um ein Within-Subjects Design handelte. Das prä- und postexperimentelle Befinden der Versuchspersonen wurde mit dem Mehrdimensionalen Befindlichkeitsfragebogen erfasst (MDBF: Steyer, Schwenkmezger, Notz & Eid, 1997). Es zeigte sich in beiden Experimenten, dass das emotionale Befinden der Konfidenten von den Versuchspersonen sowie von Videoratern als unterschiedlich zwischen den Bedingungen wahrgenommen wurde (Manipulation-Check). Auch wenn sich eine Tendenz für eine soziale Emotionsinduktion teilweise zeigte, waren die durchgeführten, messwiederholten Varianzanalysen, welche die Auswirkungen der beiden experimentellen Bedingungen auf die Veränderung des emotionalen Befindens der Versuchspersonen prüfen sollten, nicht signifikant. Die durchgeführten t-Tests zeigten überdies, dass sich die Leistung der Versuchspersonen nicht zwischen den beiden experimentellen Bedingungen unterschied. Mit den beiden durchgeführten Experimenten konnten somit die Ergebnisse anderer experimenteller Studien zur sozialen Emotionsinduktion in Gruppen nicht repliziert werden (z.B. Barsade, 2002). Vor diesem Hintergrund wurden abschliessend methodische Änderungen diskutiert, welche eine Verbesserung der Vorgehensweise bei der Erfassung der sozialen Emotionsinduktion in Gruppen beim Lösen einer sportbezogenen Aufgabe zur Folge hätten.

Der Fokus dieses Beitrags ist darauf gerichtet, ob und unter welchen Bedingungen sich ein kognitives Training dazu eignet, auf Gruppenebene zu einer verbesserten Leistung beizutragen. Dabei geht es auf einer allgemeineren kollektiven Ebene um die Verbesserung des Handelns von Gruppen durch Optimierung kognitiver Prozesse. In diesem Beitrag soll zu diesem Zweck ein Versuch unternommen werden, die folgenden drei Fragen zu beantworten: 1. Was sind die bei Handlungen von Gruppen zu regulierenden Prozesse? Mit anderen Worten geht es darum, eine Vorstellung davon zu entwickeln, wie erfolgreiche Handlungen von Gruppen eigentlich organisiert sind. 2. Was sind die regulierenden kognitiven Instanzen? Anders gesagt, welche Repräsentationen liegen wo vor, die dazu beitragen, die Handlungen von Gruppen zu optimieren? 3. Wie lassen sich welche dieser Prozesse und Instanzen durch kognitives Training optimieren? Wo sind also Ansatzpunkte, das Handeln von Teams effektiver und effizienter zu machen?

Social anxiety is a common psychological complaint that can have a significant and long-term negative impact on a child’s social and cognitive development. In the current study, the relationship between sport participation and social anxiety symptoms was investigated. Swiss primary school children (N = 201), parents, and teachers provided information about the children’s social anxiety symptoms, classroom behavior, and sport involvement. Gender differences were observed on social anxiety scores, where girls tended to report higher social anxiety symptoms, as well as on sport activity, where boys engaged in more sport involvement. MANCOVAs with gender as covariant showed no differences in social anxiety symptoms between children involved in an extracurricular sport and those not engaged in sport participation. Nevertheless, children engaged in team sports displayed fewer physical social anxiety symptoms than children involved in individual sports.
