No presente estudo, analisou-se a relação entre nível de coesão grupal e ansiedade pré-competitiva de atletas de uma equipe de voleibol em competição. Participaram do estudo 12 atletas homens, com 16,33±0,65 anos de idade e tempo de prática de 1,29±0,89, de uma das equipes participantes da Fase Final dos Jogos Escolares do Estado do Paraná 2013. Utilizou-se o Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ) para avaliação do nível de coesão grupal da equipe e o Competitive State Anxiety Inventory (CSAI-2R), para avaliação da ansiedade pré-competitiva, ambos validados para a língua portuguesa. Encontraram-se correlações significativas para a frequência (p=0,02 r= 0,66) e intensidade (p=0,04 r=0,61) da ansiedade apenas entre a dimensão de autoconfiança e a dimensão de atração individual para o grupo-social. Considerando a direção da ansiedade, a ansiedade somática apresentou correlação significativa, de moderada intensidade, com as dimensões de Integração para o Grupo-social (p=0,02 r= 0,67) e de Atração Individual para o Grupo-social (p=0,03 r= 0,62). A autoconfiança correlacionou-se moderadamente com as dimensões de Integração para o Grupo-social (p= 0,03 r= 0,61) e de Atração Individual para o Grupo-social (p= 0,02 r= 0,67). Os atletas vivenciaram os sintomas de ansiedade de maneira positiva e apresentaram níveis elevados de coesão grupal.

The process of validating a recently developed instrument to assess perceived team cohesion is discussed. The Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ), an instrument designed to measure cohesion in sport teams, has good estimates for its internal consistency and for its content and factorial validity (Carron, Widmeyer, & Brawley, 1985; Widmeyer, Brawley, & Carron, 1985). However, other aspects of its validity required examination. The present article reports three studies concerning inspection of the GEQ's concurrent (Study 1), predictive (Study 2), and construct (Study 3) validities. In Study 1 the GEQ exhibited the predicted correspondence with similar measures of cohesion and was not significantly correlated with measures of other constructs. In Study 2 the GEQ successfully discriminated team and individual sport athletes by predicting their membership to these groups on the basis of their task cohesion scores. As well, classification of athletes as new and long-standing members of individual sport teams was predicted on the basis of their social cohesion scores. Finally, in Study 3 evidence was obtained for the predicted difference in self-responsibility attributions between high and low task-cohesive athletes of team sports. Considering the results of the three studies with previous evidence of content and factorial validity, the conclusion was that the GEQ is valid. In sum, demonstrations of the GEQ's content, factorial, concurrent, predictive, and construct validity reflect the ongoing process of its construct validation.

The Group Environment Questionnaire, developed to assess cohesiveness in sport teams, was modified for use in a university residence environment. To examine the internal consistency values of the modified questionnaire, 223 women and 145 men completed the form. Cronbach alphas for ATG-Task, ATG-Social, GI-Task, and Gl-Social were .81, .75, .73, and .83, respectively. These values are superior to those reported for the original version.

Zusammenfassung. In der Studie wird geprüft, inwieweit bei Mannschaften unterschiedlicher Spielstärke im Amateurfußball Zusammenhänge zwischen Kohäsion, Kooperation und Wettkampforientierung (Kompetition) hergestellt und in Beziehung zur Leistung gesetzt werden können. Insgesamt werden 22 Teams (235 Spieler) entsprechend ihrer Tabellenleistung in drei Leistungsgruppen unterteilt und zu mannschaftsinternen, sozialen Prozessen während der Saison 2007/08 befragt. Als abhängige Variablen werden die Kohäsion mittels des deutschen Group Environment Questionnaire ( Wilhelm & Milz, 1997 ) und die Wahrnehmung von Kooperation, Kompetition und Individualisierungstendenzen ( Wegner & Ratzkowski, 2008 in Anlehnung an Deutsch, 1973 ) erfasst. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich erfolgreiche Mannschaften sowohl durch ein hohes kohäsives als auch ein hohes kooperatives und kompetitives Verhalten auszeichnen. Wie erwartet, zeigen sich positive Zusammenhänge zwischen Wettbewerb und der Aufgabenorientierung, sowie zwischen kooperativen Handlungsweisen und dem sozial-emotionalen Zusammenhalt. Ähnliche Korrelationen ergeben sich zwischen der Wettkampforientierung und der Sozialkohäsion. Diese Befunde weisen darauf hin, dass bei einer wechselseitigen Beziehung zwischen Kohäsion und Leistung auch kompetitive und individualistische Verhaltensweisen eine zentrale Rolle spielen können.
