The Effect of Self-Talk on Motor Performance with Emphasis on the Role of Task-Orientation and Ego-Orientation: An Empirical Test of the Self-Talk Dissonance Hypothesis
Introduction: According to the sport-specific self-talk model, self-talk dissonance occurs when a mismatch between feelings or internal perceptions and self-talk causes performance impairment. Objective: The purpose of this study was an empirical test of the self-talk dissonance hypothesis by investigating the effects of self-talk on task-oriented (30 people) and ego-oriented people (30 people). Materials and Methods: The research method was semi-experimental in which task-oriented self-talk and ego-oriented self-talk were investigated on motor performance in people with different orientations. All participants performed the force application task in both task-oriented and ego-oriented self-talk conditions in a balanced order. Results: The results of two-factor variance analysis showed that task-oriented people performed better when using self-talk related to task (I am better than before) and narcissists performed better when using self-talk related to ego-oriented (I am better than others). Conclusion: The results of this research show that the dissonance of self-talk has a negative effect on performance, and tailoring self-talk interventions by considering individual factors in intervention plans can improve the effectiveness of the intervention and performance results.
