Abstract
Abstract This study investigated the accuracy of self-assessment of a sport skill, the golf swing, by women students in beginning golf classes and the effectiveness of videotape replay in reducing any differences between actual and self-assessed skill. Ratings by judges were accepted as being representative of actual skill. Accuracy of self-assessment refers to the degree of agreement between self-assessed skill and actual skill. Two self-assessments, based on a scale utilizing four model performances, were secured from each of the 63 volunteer subjects. The first self-assessments were arrived at by having the subjects compare their swings, as they pictured them to be, to those of the models. Control subjects repeated this procedure for their second self-assessment. Experimental subjects arrived at their second self-assessments after viewing a replay of their own swings and the model performances. The major finding was that self-viewing did improve the accuracy of self-assessment.
