"Self-efficacy theory has been extensively studied as a cognitive explanation for differences in achievement strivings in sport and physical activity contexts (Beauchamp, Crawford, & Jackson, 2019; Feltz, Short, & Sullivan, 2008). Since Bandura's seminal publication (1977) of the self-efficacy (SE) construct, there have been over a thousand research articles published on SE and collective efficacy (CE) related to sport and physical activity. Previous reviews have summarized much of this work (e.g., Beauchamp et al., 2019; Feltz et al., 2008; Jackson, Beauchamp, & Dimmock, 2020), but as the field continues to grow, new research questions arise that have the potential to shed light on human behavior across a range of sport and exercise settings. In this chapter, we pose some of these questions in hope of stimulating future research. We start with a brief overview of SE theory and CE, and provide a summary of key areas of current inquiry within sport and physical activity settings. We then propose and discuss five major research questions that we contend have considerable potential to contribute to the field" This book presents 125 critical research questions to advance the field of sports, exercise, and performance psychology, with 5 must-read papers per chapter. With contributions from expert researchers in their respective areas, this book focuses on performance and learning, health and wellbeing, and cultural and professional considerations. This book is a great resource for scientists and practitioners interested in the psychology of performance in sport and exercise settings. The book offers several unique perspectives on key topics in the field, highlighting the most pressing questions where further insights are needed. A great addition to the field of sport and exercise psychology. * Mark A. Williams, Professor of Kinesiology, University of Utah * Written by leading experts in sport, exercise, and performance psychology and sport science, each chapter of the book reviews critical literature and provides invaluable information that can inspire new insights into the area. I highly recommend this book to all students and scholars interested in theoretical, methodological, and applied advancement in the field. * Claudio Robazza, Professor, "G. d'Annunzio" University of Chieti-Pescara * This is an important and timely book on Sport, Exercise and Performance Psychology edited by two experts in the field and great chapters of eminent scholars. Covering a wide range of topics in research and professional practice this book is for everybody that loves sport and researchers at all levels that want to learn about current and future directions of sport psychology. Highly recommended. * Markus Raab, Research Professor of Psychology, London South Bank * The world of knowledge is constantly changing. The most important feature of this book is that it covers the latest knowledge progress in various research fields of sports and exercise psychology. Moreover, you will learn more surprising and applicable knowledge from some newly developed topics, such as mind-body interaction in sport psychophysiology, genetics and mental health. * Gangyan Si, Head of Sport Psychology Center, Hong Kong Sports Institute *.
