The impact of self-modeling on athletic performance and self-efficacy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction:
Self-modeling, as a pedagogical approach in physical education, can effectively promote students' acquisition of movement skills and enhance their self-efficacy. However, the efficacy of self-modeling interventions remains controversial, and there is currently no objective, comprehensive evidence demonstrating their effectiveness in physical education instruction.
Methods:
This study systematically evaluates the effects of self-modeling as an observational learning intervention on athletic performance and self-efficacy, along with its operational conditions, through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Results:
Self-modeling yields moderate to large positive influences on athletic performance and significantly enhances self-efficacy to a moderate degree. One week after the intervention ended, however, the improvement in athletic performance did not persist. Regression analysis revealed that intervention dose was the primary factor influencing effectiveness, with larger doses yielding more pronounced effects. Age, exercise experience, skill classification, and control group intervention type did not demonstrate significant moderating effects.
Discussion:
The use of self-modeling in physical education and competitive sports can effectively enhance athletic performance and self-efficacy. However, its effects are dose-dependent and exhibit limited short-term sustainability. Future research should further clarify optimal intervention protocols and long-term mechanisms.
