| How much can positive self-talk tangibly improve our performance?
A lot, according to a large new study.
British researchers took 44,000 people and tested how different psychological skills affect performance.
Previous research has found that certain skills can be more or less effective in different environments, but no study has compared the types of skills.
So, for the new study, participants were randomly divided into groups and trained in one of three different skills: positive self-talk (“I can do better next time” or “I can beat my best score” for example), visualisation techniques (imagining themselves doing something better than they had previously) or if-then planning like “If I start to doubt myself…then I will remind myself I have the skills!”
