| Abstract | The purpose of the present rese arch was to study the effect of motivational self - talk on performance in a force generation task with an emphasis on self - talk belief. 23 participants (23.5 ± 1.9 years old) voluntarily participated in the research. The performance of the participants was measured by a dynamometer under a control and an experimental condition. In the experimental condition (self - talk), the participants uttered "I can do it" before exerting force on the device, while in the control condition no sentence was uttered before th e task. Immediately after the test the participants filled out a self - talk belief questionnaire as well as a manipulation check survey. The results showed that self - talk leads to improved performance in the force generation task, but there was no significa nt relationship between self - talk belief and performance. In general, it seems that self - talk belief is not an important antecedent for the effect of self - talk on performance. ( Tayebeh Baniasadi, Mir Hamid Salehian, Lamia Mirheidari, Ali Golguni .
