학생선수들의 스포츠인성 모형 검증: 구조발달론적 관점

Abstract

Purpose: This study (a) examined the model of sport character and (b) identified effects of influences on sport character model reflecting cognitive processes in student-athletes. Methods: Participants were 350 student-athletes (male = 295, female=55) in 12 sports and this study used four measures such as Sport Character Scale, the Caring Climate Scale, the Perceived motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire, and Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire. Data were analysed by using descriptive analysis, reliability, correlation and structural equation modeling. Results: First, the basic path model of sport character indicated significant causal effects. Model fit indices were acceptable (CFI=.916, TLI=.881, RMSEA=.087, SRMR=.056). Second, the conditional model with influences factors including motivational climate, caring climate, and achievement goal orientation was examined. Mastery climate showed positive relationship with sportspersonship and performance climate was positively related to antisocial attitude. Caring climate positively influenced on antisocial attitude while it revealed non-significant relationship with sportspersonship. Goal orientations with task and ego orientation indicated non-significant effects with sport character. Model fit indices with the conditional model were good (CFI=.918, TLI=.898, RMSEA=.072, SRMR=.053). Conclusion: This study not only verified structural developmental processes of the sport character model, but also extended the basic structural path model into the conditional model with situational and personal influences in student-athletes of middle and high school. This would contribute to giving useful information and extending the research regarding sport character.
