O objectivo deste estudo é apresentar os resultados de um estudo longitudinal (10 jogos)
que explora a existência de correlações estatisticamente significativas entre as quatro
dimensões da coesão operacionalizadas pelo Modelo Conceptual de Coesão (Carron,
Brawley & Widmeyer, 1985) e diferentes medidas de rendimento desportivo. Os
participantes são 23 atletas de uma equipa de futebol profissional (M idade = 22.64; DP
idade = 3.89) e os 3 treinadores. Uma versão portuguesa (Martins, Almeida & Viana, no
prelo) do Group Environment Questionnaire (Carron, Widmeyer & Brawley, 1985) e um
questionário pós-competitivo de avaliação do rendimento, dirigido a treinadores e atletas
(Cruz, 1996), foram usados como instrumentos. Os resultados indicam a existência de uma
relação entre a Coesão e o Rendimento desportivo em sete dos dez jogos analisados. De
forma algo surpreendente e contrariamente ao que seria expectável, verificaram-se
correlações positivas e negativas entre a dimensão Integração no Grupo-Social e as
diferentes medidas de rendimento. De igual modo, verificaram-se correlações negativas
entre as dimensões da coesão com orientação para a tarefa e o rendimento da equipa,
contrariando assim todas as evidências. Os resultados obtidos nesta investigação parecem
apoiar a concepção de que, de facto, existe uma relação circular entre coesão e rendimento
desportivo.
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to present the main results of a longitudinal study (10 games) which explores the existence of statistically significant correlations between the four dimensions of the cohesion considered by the Conceptual Model of Cohesion (Carron, Brawley & Widmeyer, 1985) and different measures of sportive performance. Participants are 23 athletes from a professional soccer team (M age = 22.64; SD age = 3.89) and the 3 coaches. A Portuguese version (Martins, Almeida & Viana, in press) of The Group Environment Questionnaire (Carron, Widmeyer & Brawley, 1985) and a post-competition questionnaire on performance assessment, intended for athletes and coaches (Cruz, 1996), were used as instruments. Regarding the objectives, the existence of a relation between Cohesion and Sport Performance was observed in seven of the ten games analysed. The results indicate the existence of positive and negative correlations between the IG-S and the different measures of performance, as well as negative correlations between the dimensions of the cohesion with guidance towards the task and the team’s performance, thus contradicting the results of previous investigations. The results obtained from this investigation appear to support the concept that there is in fact a circular relation between cohesion and sportive performance.
