The effect of mental imagery on self-efficacy and dance

By Maryse Loranger

The use of mental imagery to improve movement execution is common practice in the world of dance. The main aim of this study is to determine whether mental imagery of a dance sequence, accompanied by the corresponding motor action, facilitates its execution. It was also hypothesised that it influences the sense of self-efficacy. Twenty-five participants, divided into three groups of equivalent age and ability, received different treatments: relaxation (control), imagery with movement, and imagery without repetition. This work is intended for anyone interested in the effects of mental imagery on self-efficacy, whether in the context of dance performance, sport or other activities.
