Investigation of the impact of self-confidence and athlete identity on the types of imagery and levels of use of athletes engaged in different levels of team sports

A significant difference was found between the athletes' imagery inventory in sports-and-the motivational general mastery sub-dimension and gender variable. No difference was found between the imagery inventory in sports-and-its other dimensions. There was no significant difference between the athlete identity scale of the athletes and the gender variable. A significant difference was found between the athletes' imagery inventory in sports-and-its cognitive imagery sub-dimension and national sportsmanship status. No difference was detected in the other sub-dimensions of imagery inventory in sports. There was a significant difference between the athlete identity scale of the athletes and the national sportsmanship variable. There was a significant difference between the continuous sportive self-confidence of the athletes and the national sportsmanship variable. A significant difference was found between the athletes' imagery inventory in sports-and-its cognitive imagery, motivational specific imagery, motivational general mastery sub-dimensions and experienced injury. No difference was found in the motivational general alertness sub-dimension of imagery inventory in sports. There was a significant difference between the athlete identity scale of the athletes and the variable of whether you had an injury. It was observed a significant difference between the constant sportive self-confidence scale of the athletes and the variable of whether you have experienced an injury. There was no significant difference between the athletes' imagery inventory in sports-and-its cognitive imagery, motivational specific imagery, motivational general mastery, motivational general alertness sub-dimensions and age variable. No significant difference was observed between the athlete identity scale and age variable. There was observed a significant difference between the continuous sportive self-confidence scale of the athletes and the age variable. Significant differences were observed between the athletes' imagery inventory in sports-and-its cognitive imagery, motivational general alertness and motivational general mastery sub dimensions and education variable. There was no difference between motivational specific imagery and education variable, which is the sub-dimension of imagery inventory in sports. There was no significant difference between the athlete identity scale of the athletes and the education variable. There was a significant difference between the continuous sportive self-confidence scale of the athletes and the education variable. Significant differences were observed between the athletes' imagery inventory in sports-and-its cognitive imagery, motivational general alertness, motivational general mastery sub-dimensions and sports (making) background of the athletes who participated in the study. There was no difference between motivational specific imagery, which is the sub-dimension of imagery inventory in sports, and sports (making) background/history. Significant differences were observed between the athlete identity scale of the athletes and the sports history variable. Significant differences were observed between the continuous sportive self-confidence scale of the athletes and the sport history variable. Significant differences were observed between the athletes' imagery inventory in sports-and-its cognitive imagery, motivational specific imagery, motivational general alertness, motivational general mastery sub-dimensions and branch variable. There was a significant difference between the athlete identity scale of the athletes and the branch variable. There was a significant difference between the continuous sportive self-confidence scale of the athletes and the branch variable. In the study, positive relationships were found between cognitive imagery, motivational specific imagery, motivational general alertness, motivational general mastery, imagery inventory in sports, athlete identity scale and continuous sports self-confidence. There were positive relationships between motivational specific imagery, motivational general alertness, motivational general mastery, imagery inventory in sports, athlete identity scale and continuous sports self-confidence. There were positive relationships between motivational general alertness, motivational general mastery, imagery inventory in sports, athlete identity scale and continuous sportive self-confidence. Positive relationships were found between motivational general mastery, imagery inventory in sports, athlete identity scale and continuous sportive self-confidence. Positive relationships were found between the imagery inventory in sports, athlete identity scale and continuous sportive self-confidence. Also positive relationships were found between the athlete indentity scale and continuous sportive self-confidence.
