| Summary: | "Self-efficacy theory has been extensively studied as a cognitive explanation for differences in achievement strivings in sport and physical activity contexts (Beauchamp, Crawford, & Jackson, 2019; Feltz, Short, & Sullivan, 2008). Since Bandura's seminal publication (1977) of the self-efficacy (SE) construct, there have been over a thousand research articles published on SE and collective efficacy (CE) related to sport and physical activity. Previous reviews have summarized much of this work (e.g., Beauchamp et al., 2019; Feltz et al., 2008; Jackson, Beauchamp, & Dimmock, 2020), but as the field continues to grow, new research questions arise that have the potential to shed light on human behavior across a range of sport and exercise settings. In this chapter, we pose some of these questions in hope of stimulating future research. We start with a brief overview of SE theory and CE, and provide a summary of key areas of current inquiry within sport and physical activity settings. We then propose and discuss five major research questions that we contend have considerable potential to contribute to the field"-- |
