Data were obtained from male players ( <em>N = </em> </span> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">139, mean age = 23, <em>SD </em> </span> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us"> = 4.43 yrs) from nine teams. Participants completed the GEQ, the PMCSQ-2, as well as measures of self-talk, self-efficacy, and collective efficacy created for this study. Canonical analyses indicated that higher levels of Determination Collective Efficacy, Skills Collective Efficacy and Skills Self-Efficacy were associated with high levels of individual attractions to group-task cohesion, group integration-task and group integration-social cohesion, positive self-talk about the team, and a task-oriented motivational climate. Generally, players with high levels of self and collective efficacy used self-talk about the team more often, as well as possessed high levels of task cohesion and perceived their team climate to be more mastery-oriented. Conclusions, future directions and implications are discussed in detail. </span> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Pamukkale University}
