Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This study was conducted to determine if movement confidence is perceived by observers in a consistent manner, and to determine what are the behavioral manifestations upon which perceptions of movement confidence are based. Adults and children observed various combinations of films of four-year-old children doing three movement tasks involving a minimum degree of skill while presenting a possible physical danger. Adults and children had high levels of inter- and intra-rater agreement within and across tasks when rating the movement confidence of the children in the films. Adult observers were asked to identify the cues or signs in the films which indicated to them different levels of movement confidence. Movements, tempo and attention were identified as three groupings of behavioral manifestations of movement confidence. Observer descriptors were reordered as performance and nonperformance behavioral manifestations to suggest a relationship between level of confidence and changes in movement performance.
