Male ice hockey players' experiences of team cohesion : A qualitative study on team cohesion and its impact on athletic performance (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka upplevelser lagmedlemmar inom ett manligt ishockeylag har kring sammanhållning, samt vilka faktorer som upplevs vara betydande för social sammanhållning och uppgiftsorienterad sammanhållning. Syftet med studien var även att få en fördjupad kunskap kring hur lagets upplevda sammanhållning påverkar den idrottsliga prestationen. Studiens teoretiska ramverk baseras på en begreppsmodell över lagsammanhållning i idrottslag, vilket är en modell som förklarar social sammanhållning och uppgiftsorienterad sammanhållning samt de två huvudgrupperna; gruppintegration och individens attraktion till gruppen. För att undersöka studiens syfte så använde sig författarna till denna studie av semistrukturerade intervjuer som metod. Åtta personer deltog i studien och intervjuades utifrån en intervjuguide vilken var inspirerad av mätinstrumentet Group Environment Questionnaire. Studiens deltagare var mellan 20-28 år. Det insamlade materialet analyserades utifrån en tematisk analys. Studiens resultat visar att manliga idrottare upplever sammanhållning som en central del av ett idrottslag och anser att det finns ett samband mellan lagsammanhållning och prestation. Undersökningsdeltagarna uppmärksammade främst social sammanhållning som en framgångsrik faktor kopplat till prestation. Slutsatsen är att sammanhållning som helhet är en central faktor för ett fungerande och framgångsrikt idrottslag.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of the study was to investigate what experiences team members within a male ice hockey team have about cohesion, as well as what factors are perceived to be important for social cohesion and task-oriented cohesion. The purpose of the study was also to gain an indepth knowledge of how the team's perceived cohesion affects athletic performance. The study's theoretical framework is based on a conceptual model of team cohesion in sports teams, which is a model that explains social and task-oriented team cohesion as well as the two main groups; group integration and the individual's attraction to the group. To investigate the purpose of the study, the authors of this study used semi-structured interviews as a method. Eight people participated in the study and were interviewed through an interview guide which was inspired by the measuring instrument Group Environment Questionnaire. The participants of the study were between 20-28 years old. The collected material was analyzed through a thematic analysis. The results of the study show that male athletes experience cohesion as a central part of a sports team and believe that there is a connection between team cohesion and performance. The participants of the study paid particular attention to social cohesion as a successful factor linked to performance. The conclusion is that cohesion as a whole is a central factor for a functioning and successful sports team.
