ABSTRACT:
This study sought to find the effects that the coaches' use of humor would have on volleyball players' evaluations of their coaches. Fifty-one female high school volleyball players between the ages of 14 to 18 years were asked to rate their coaches' sense of humor, coaching abilities, and how much they liked their coaches on a Likert scale (1-5). The athletes utilized a modified version of The Coach Evaluation Questionnaire. Pearson Product Moment correlations showed a low to moderate relationship (r = .379) between the coaches' sense of humor and coaching ability. A moderate relationship (r = .567) between the coaches' sense of humor and liking of the coaches by the players was discovered. The results further indicated a strong relationship (r = .782) between liking the coaches and the rating of the coaches abilities by the players. Each of these correlations was significant p less than .01). The data suggest that humor does play a role in the players perceptions of their coaches' abilities and the liking of their coaches. It is recommended that sport psychologists may wish to incorporate humor as a part of their intervention strategies in the assistance of athletes, as well as, promote its use with and among coaches.
