ABSTRACT:
Social cognitive theory has highlighted the salience of self-schemata and its role in the processing of self-related information, categorical accessibility, and memory strength for information deemed important to the self. In the sport literature, only limited research has examined the role of self-schemata (Kendzierski, 1988, 1990) exclusively within the realm of exercise behavior. In the present investigation, undergraduates (N = 165) completed a sport-specific self-schemata instrument as well as measures of sport knowledge, sport confidence and enjoyment. Frequency measures including both past participation and future intent to participate in sport were also distributed. Following initial significant F-tests, post-hoc comparisons indicated that sport schematics possessed significantly more sport knowledge, F (2,44) = 6.72, p < .003, and expressed greater sport enjoyment, F (2,44) = 6.56, p < .003, than did non-schematics. Post-hoc comparisons also revealed that schematics reported higher trait sport confidence, F (2,44) = 8.63, p < .001, more years of participation, F (2,44) = 9.24, p < .0001, and greater intent to participate in the future, F (2,44) = 7.11, p < .002, than did either non-schematics or aschematics. Such findings suggest that self-schemata in sport may not only serve to direct and guide sport behavior but also influences both cognitive and affective correlates in the sport domain.
