| 520 | |a This study examined the effects of self-esteem and task perception on goal setting, efficacy, and task performance in 52 recreational dart throwers who were members of two dart organizations. Task perception was manipulated by asking each dart thrower to compete against self, a difficult competitor, and an easy competitor on the same dart game. Subjects were divided into high and low self-esteem groups using a median split. Results of 2 x 3 (self-esteem x task) analyses of variance showed that the efficacy, ability attributions, and task satisfaction of subjects in the low self-esteem group, but not of those in the high self-esteem group, were affected by task perception. These findings support Brockner's (1988) notion that individuals with low self-esteem are more easily influenced by external cues than are individuals with high self-esteem. Subjects in the low self-esteem group had lower goals, efficacy, and task performance than those in the high self-esteem groups. Subjects set high goals and had higher performance in the difficult condition than in the easy condition. (Author/NB) | ||
