The study is to examine the relationship between the self-efficacy and imagery ability with the performance of elite table tennis players. The statistical population included 57 elite table tennis players under the age of 21 years who managed to attend the national final tournament of single player to determine the rank of players from 1 to 32. Thirty-two of these players were randomly selected through the accessible sampling method. The research method was a descriptive-correlational one by which Bandura Personal Self-Efficacy (2009) (PSE) (α = 0/87(questionnaire was used as the tool for measuring data. Gold and Weisberg questionnaire was employed to measure internal-external mental imagery ability (2010) (α = 0/8 (. Data analysis was performed by using descriptive statistics as well as Spearman correlation coefficient to test the association between the self-efficacy and internal-external mental imagery ability and performance. The results indicated that there was a significant association between the external mental-imagery ability and performance, but no such relationship between the internal mental-imagery ability and performance. It was concluded that self-efficacy is a good predictor of performance in competition.

The research is to investigate the relationship between perfectionism, self-determination and contrastive methods between sport teams. Research sample was the same as population (232 persons) and were consisted of all of the athletic students. The data was collected by three questionnaires: perfectionism multidimensional (1990), (α=0/87), Behavioral Regulation in Sport (2008), (α=0/8) and Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (1995), (α=0/896). The data was analyzed by mean, standard deviation, Kolmogorov– Smirnov, Pearson and regression by SPSS (20). There was a positive significant relationship between perfectionism (P=0/00, r=0/38) and Concern over mistakes (P =0/00, r=0/26), suspect about performance (P =0/00, r=0/17), parental expectations (P =0/00, r=0/35), parental criticism (P =0/00, r=0/35), personal standards (P =0/00, r=0/17), and organization (P =0/00, r=0/06) and contrastive methods. Also, parental expectations (β= 0/26) and parental criticism (β= 0/15) were significant predications for contrastive methods. There was a positive significant relationship between self-determination (P=0/04, r=0/13) and internal reasons (P=0/01, r=0/15), coordination's reasons (P=0/00, r=0/17), identification (P=0/04, r=0/13), adjustment avoidance reasons (P=0/00, r=0/21) external avoidance reasons (P=0/00, r=0/24). The external avoidance reasons (β= 0/20) was the only significant predication for contrastive methods. According to the results, perfectionism and self-determination were the contrastive methods for athletes.
