Abstract (summary)

Cette etude de nature experimentale avait pour but d'evaluer l'influence d'une strategie de pratique d'imagerie mentale sur la performance au coup roule au golf, tout en considerant de facon simultanee l'influence potentielle de variables mediatrices comme l'anxiete et l'efficacite personnelle. L'etude fut menee en novembre 1991 aupres de vingt golfeurs experimentes de sexe masculin, tous provenant de la region de Quebec. Les sujets etaient distribues de facon aleatoire dans un des deux groupes: le groupe experimental (avec traitement) et le groupe controle (sans traitement).

Les resultats des diverses analyses de variance ont revele que le groupe experimental avait significativement (p $<$.05) ameliore sa performance entre le pretest et le post-test. Chez les sujets du groupe controle, on remarquait plutot une legere diminution non-significative cependant de la performance entre le pretest et le post-test. En ce qui concerne l'anxiete et l'efficacite personnelle, aucune variation significative ne fut remarquee. Il a ete conclu de ces resultats que le programme d'entrai nement de pratique d'imagerie mentale ameliore la performance au coup roule au golf par des mecanismes qui n'impliquent pas une quelconque intervention des variables mediatrices comme l'anxiete et l'efficacite personnelle.

This experimental study aimed to assess the influence of a mental imagery practice strategy on golf putting performance, while simultaneously considering the potential influence of mediating variables such as anxiety and self-efficacy. The study was conducted in November 1991 with twenty experienced male golfers, all from the Quebec region. The subjects were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the experimental group (with treatment) and the control group (without treatment).

The results of the various analyzes of variance revealed that the experimental group had significantly (p $<$.05) improved its performance between the pre-test and the post-test. In the subjects of the control group, we noticed rather a slight non-significant decrease in performance between the pre-test and the post-test. Regarding anxiety and self-efficacy, no significant variation was observed. It was concluded from these results that the mental imagery practice training program improves golf putting performance through mechanisms that do not involve any intervention of mediating variables such as anxiety and self-efficacy.
