  • Abstract:
  • This study aimed to analyze and compare team cohesion between medalists and non-medalists water polo players. Method: Researchers selected 50 intercollegiate-level male water polo players from across India from six different teams (three medalists and three non-medalists) who attended the AIIU. Team cohesion data were examined using the Group Environmental Questionnaire (GEQ), a psychological questionnaire. Result: The value of the t-statistic for the group social is 3.048 and for the group-integrated task is 3.046, so the t-statistic is significant for the corresponding p-value for the social group is 0.004 and for the group-integrated task is 0.004, which is less than 0.05. Conclusion: There are significant differences in perceptions among male water polo players within groups and between medalists and non-medalists at the intercollegiate level regarding group social and group-integration tasks. The results of this study indicate that further research is needed to examine the true value of male water polo players, medal and non-medal, at the intercollegiate level.
