ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine how high and low trait sport confidence athletes differed in their imagery content and imagery ability, and to examine athletes’ perceptions of the functions of imagery. The framework of this study was based on both Martin’s (1999) model of “Mental Imagery Use in Sport” and Marphy’s and Martin’s (2002) model of “Three Level of Imagery in Sport”. First, both the tools of sport imagery and movement imagery were revised, and then to examine these two tools of reliability and validity. Second, this study was to assess the differences between high and low trait sport confidence athletes on the imagery content and the imagery ability. Third, this study was to examine athletes’ perceptions of the functions of imagery.Two stages of data collection were executed. At the first stage, subjects were 237 student athletes (140 male and 97 female) from four universities in Taiwan in order to testify the reliability and validity of sport imagery and movement imagery. At the second stage, subjects were 395 student athletes (227 male and 168 female) from six universities around Taiwan. Data were analyzed by LISREL8.50 and SPSS 12.0. There were internal consistency analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, profile analysis, cumulative percents and chi-square test for goodness of fit . The results of this study were following: (1)The results showed high sport confident athletes had better on imagery content (motivational specific, motivational general-arousal, cognitive general, cognitive specific, and motivational general-mastery) than low sport confident athletes did. High confident athletes had better on both kinesthetic and visual imagery abilities than low confident athletes did;(2)For the high confident athletes, there were not differences among motivational general-mastery and others types of imagery content (motivational specific, motivational general-arousal, cognitive general, and cognitive specific). For the low confident athletes, there were differences among motivational general-mastery and others types of imagery content;(3)There were differences among the perception of function of imagery and five types of imagery content. That is, the content of imagery did have different individual meaning for each athlete.
