Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of skill types (open and closed) and competition level (elite and non-elite) on the functions of observational learning in athletes. To fulfill the objectives of the study, 247 Taekwondo athletes volunteered to answer the Functions of Observational Learning Questionnaire (FOLQ). Results of 2 (skill level) × 2 (skill types) MANOVA showed that the athletes in closed skills use the skill and strategy functions more significantly than the athletes in the open skills, whereas the open skill athletes use the performance function more. Moreover, the elite athletes use all the three functions of the observational learning more than non-elite athletes. In addition, the interactive effect of skill types and competition level on the functions of observational learning was significant (p < .05). The study also showed that the effect of skill types on the functions of observational learning is stronger than the effect of the competition level.
