Journal Title: Medycyna Sportowa - Year 2007, Vol 23, Issue 5
Abstract
[b]Background.[/b] A lot of attention is given to the personality of sportsmen in sport psychology. This results from the need to create the most precise, model or theory, which may be used in training. Scientific support for some regularities may be helpful in selection of sportsmen, their attempts to obtain better results, and – first of all- backing up sportsmen’s potential development and self-actualization. The goal of this paper is to analyze personality variables of universiade competitors taking into account their discipline.[b]Material and methods.[/b] The paper presents the results of the study, carried out during the summer Universiade in Izmir (Turkey, August 2005). The research covered 91 representatives from Poland – 44 female and 47 male athletes practising various sports; 30 representatives of team games and 61 representatives of individual sports. They were filling in ACL-37 adjective test (prepared by HG Gough and ABHeilbrun) and the questionnaire including questions concerning competitors’ career.[b]Results.[/b] Comparison of personality profiles of team games and of individual sports representatives showed statistically significant differences. The results indicate that representatives of individual sports are significantly more determined and concentrated on specific activities to satisfy their need of achievements. Team players show significantly higher tendecy to avoid confrontation with reality. It is related to disbelief in their own success and a fear for a broadly understood failure.[b]Conclusions.[/b] Apart from the study report, the paper contains some suggestions for potential broader use of personality psychology issues and the psychology of inter-individual differences, being a part of sports psychology. The qualitative analysis may be a contribution to the discussion of psychological shaping of training effects.
