Abstract

Cilj istraživanja je bio ispitati odnos perfekcionizma s prednatjecateljskom anksioznosti i samopouzdanjem sportaša. U istraživanju je sudjelovao 161 student (Nm=111, Nž=50) Kineziološkog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Sudionici istraživanja su ispunili Višedimenzionalni inventar perfekcionizma u sportu (Stoeber, Otto, Pescheck, Becker i Stoll, 2007), Upitnik stanja kompetitivne anksioznosti-2 (Martens, Vealey i Burton, 1990) te odgovorili na niz pitanja o demografskim podacima i njihovim sportskim karakteristikama. Rezultati pokazuju kako se sportašice i sportaši ne razlikuju u iskazivanju perfekcionističkih težnji, kao ni u kognitivnoj anksioznosti. Međutim, rodne razlike utvrđene su na somatskoj anksioznosti i samopouzdanju, pri čemu, u odnosu na sportašice, sportaši iskazuju višu razinu samopouzdanja i nižu razinu somatske anksioznosti. Navedeno je u skladu s rezultatima prijašnjih istraživanja Nadalje, sportaši timskih i individualnih sportova se ne razlikuju u perfekcionističkim težnjama, samopouzdanju i kognitivnoj anksioznosti, a razlikuju se u somatskoj anksioznosti na način da sportaši individualnih sportova iskazuju više razine. Što se tiče povezanosti adaptivnog i neadapitvnog perfekcionizma s kognitivnom i somatskom anksioznosti te samopouzdanjem, rezultati su u skladu s nalazima prijašnjih istraživanja. Dobivena je značajna pozitivna povezanost adapitvnog perfekcionizma i samopouzdanja te značajna negativna povezanost adaptivnog perfekcionizma i oba aspekta anksioznosti. Neadaptivni perfekcionizam je značajno pozitivno povezan s oba aspekta anksioznosti te značajno negativno povezan sa samopouzdanjem. Nadalje, sukladno očekivanjima pokazalo se kako je na temelju adaptivnog i neadaptivnog perfekcionizma moguće objasniti značajan postotak varijance kognitivne i somatske anksioznosti te samopouzdanja sportaša. Dobiveni rezultati omogućuju bolje razumijevanje činitelja koji se nalaze u osnovi prednatjecateljske anksioznosti i samopouzdanja sportaša te mogu poslužiti kao temelj za edukaciju sportaša o različitoj ulozi adaptivnog i neadaptivnog perfekcionizma.

Abstract (english)

The aim of the research study was to examine the relationship between athletes’ perfectionism and pre-competitive anxiety and self-confidence. A total of 161 students from the Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Zagreb (Nm=111, Nf=50) participated in the research study. The participants completed the Multidimensional Inventory of Perfectionism in Sport (Stoeber, Otto, Pescheck, Becker, and Stoll, 2007) and the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (Martens, Vealey, and Burton, 1990) and responded to a list of questions about their demographic and sports characteristics. The results show that male and female athletes do not differ in perfectionist tendencies nor in cognitive anxiety. However, a difference was discovered in somatic anxiety and self-confidence: namely, male athletes demonstrate higher levels of selfconfidence and lower levels of somatic anxiety in relation to the female athletes. The results are in line with prior studies. Athletes of team and individual sports do not differ in perfectionist tendencies, self-confidence, and cognitive anxiety, but athletes of individual sports show higher levels of somatic anxiety. In line with prior studies, different forms of perfectionism were differently related to cognitive and somatic anxiety as well as to self-confidence. The results showed a significant positive correlation between adaptive perfectionism and self-confidence as well as a significant negative correlation between adaptive perfectionism and both aspects of anxiety. On the other hand, maladaptive perfectionism is significantly positively correlated with both aspects of anxiety and significantly negatively correlated with self-confidence. Furthermore, in concordance with our expectations, it has been confirmed that on the basis of adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism in athletes, it is possible to explain significant percentage of variance in cognitive and somatic anxiety and in self-confidence. The results enable a better understanding of the factors which lie at the core of pre-competitive anxiety and self-confidence in athletes. On the practical level, the results might be used for educating athletes about the different roles of adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism.
