CENTER DOCTORAL STUDENT DEREK SOKOLOFF SELECTED FOR 2022 APA DIVISION 47 THESIS AWARD

Derek's study, The Effects of Coach-Created Motivational Climate on Teamwork Behaviors, explored the relationship between the environments coaches create and teamwork behavior. Specifically, how task-involving and ego-involving climates related to teams: understanding of their purpose and the ability to plan to achieve the team's mission, implementing designed plans for team success, assessing team performances and environment, creating alterations focused on increasing the probability for team success, and preserving interpersonal relationships by resolving conflicts effectively. This study has recently been submitted for publication and is under review.
