A Psychometric Evaluation of the Group Environment Questionnaire in a Sample of Professional Basketball and Soccer Players
2013
Psychometric properties of the Group environment Questionnaire were investigated in a large sample of soccer (n = 222) and professional basketball players (n = 375). Confirmatory factor analysis was performed both on the total sample and on the two sub samples through a multi-group approach; associations between cohesion and the duration of belonging to the team were also explored. Results confirmed the four-factor structure proposed by Carron's original model even though some items with low loadings were eliminated. No signifcant associations were found between team cohesion and the duration of belonging to the team. © Perceptual & Motor Skills 2013.

The current study focuses on understanding and describing the use of TB methods rather than directly investigating the effectiveness of the programme. Thus, the purpose was to describe the pla…

An Examination of the Relationship Between Coaches’ Transformational Leadership and Athletes’ Personal and Group Characteristics in Elite Youth Soccer
2021
There is a growing body of the literature highlighting the positive impact of transformational leadership behaviours across contexts, including sport.

Norwegian elite youth soccer players (n= 753) selected into the national talent development program completed que…
