Abstract

Abstract The purpose of the current study was twofold. The first purpose was to examine the relationship between children’s active play imagery and personal and social skills. The second purpose was to examine the relationship between children’s active play imagery and self-confidence. A total of 105 male and female children (Mage=9.84, SD=1.41) were recruited from various summer programs, and completed inventories that assessed their active play imagery (i. e., capability, social, and fun), personal and social skills, and self-confidence. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that all three types of active play imagery (social, capability, and fun) were positively and significantly related to personal and social skills, with social imagery accounting for the most variance. Further, regression analysis showed that both fun and capability imagery were positively and significantly associated with self-confidence, with fun imagery accounting for the most variance. This study highlights the usefulness of imagery in fostering children’s personal and social skills as well as self-confidence.

儿童主动游戏意象及其与个人、社会技能和自信的关系

本研究的目的是双重的。第一个目的是研究儿童积极的游戏意象与个人和社会技能之间的关系。第二个目的是研究儿童主动游戏意象与自信心之间的关系。从不同的暑期项目中招募了105名男女儿童(Mage=9.84, SD=1.41)，并完成了评估他们活跃游戏形象的问卷调查。(能力、社交和乐趣)、个人和社交技巧以及自信。分层多元回归分析显示，所有三种类型的主动游戏意象(社交、能力和乐趣)都与个人和社交技能呈正相关，其中社交意象的差异最大。此外，回归分析表明，乐趣意象和能力意象都与自信呈正相关且显著相关，其中乐趣意象的方差最大。这项研究强调了意象在培养儿童的个人和社会技能以及自信心方面的作用。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is the first peer-reviewed journal devoted to research on the role of imagery in sport, physical activity, exercise, and rehabilitation settings. Imagery, also referred to as cognitive enactment or visualization, is one of the most popular performance enhancement and rehabilitation techniques in sports and physical activity. Journal editors Craig Hall (University of Western Ontario) and Sandra Short (University of North Dakota) are recognized leaders in the field, and the journal’s editorial board represents leading institutions in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. The single destination for all imagery-related research in sports and in physical activity, the Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is an indispensable tool for scholars and practitioners of imagery, sports science, kinesiology, physical education, and psychology Criteria for publication will include: - Outstanding quality; likely to be widely read and highly cited; - Relevance to the area; - Contribution to the advancement of imagery research; - Interest to specialists in the field and accessible to researchers with interests outside the immediate topic of the paper; - Readability and presentation.
