Özet: This study aims to examine the effects of positive expectations (pygmalion effect) created by coaches on the sport-specific self-efficacy of cycling athletes. The population of this study consists of 396 cycling athletes who participated in the 120-minute local mountain bike and 56th international presidential cycling race organized in Antalya province in 2021. To determine the research sample number, 203 cycling athletes were included in the sample as a result of the calculations made at a 95% confidence interval and a 5% error rate. In this study, the pygmalion attitude index was used to evaluate the pygmalion effect in cycling athletes, and the athlete self-efficacy scale was used to determine the self-efficacy of athletes. Before proceeding to the statistical analysis process of the research, the normality distribution results of the data were calculated. Assuming that the skewness and kurtosis values will vary between +2 and -2, the conclusion was that the data conforming to this value range is suitable for normal distribution. Parametric test techniques were used to evaluate the data conforming to normal distribution. Within the scope of the research, path analysis statistical evaluation was performed to evaluate the effect of pygmalion effect on athlete self-efficacy. As a result, it was determined that the pygmalion effect had a positive and significant effect on the athletes' self-efficacy (p<0.01). It can be said that coach expectation is a crucial predictor of athlete self-efficacy.
