Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze domestic research related to disabled athletes in the field of sports psychology in Korea. For data collection, ‘Athletes with disabilities’ was selected as the main search term by the Academic Information Service (RISS), and the final 32 articles were selected for analysis. Employing the content analysis, the selected papers were categorized into academic journals, research subjects, research topics, and research methods. The major findings of the study are as follows. 96.9% were published in academic journals, and among the journals, the Korean Society of Sports Science and the Korean Society of Adapted Physical Activity and Exercise took up 43.8% of the total. The distribution of topics by year has increased since 2009 in the field of sports psychology for athletes with disabilities. In the characteristics of the study subjects, 68.8%(mixed male and female) ratio was the highest, and as the sampling number, the high ratio of 58.6% was conducted focusing on male subjects. By disability type, physical disability was 38.8%, and interestingly, 39.3% of papers were published without any disability type. In terms of characteristics of competition, 43.8% of the single events were shooting. The study topic was found to be 28.1% of the relationship between psychological factors. As for the characteristics of the research method, 56.3% of quantitative studies were used, descriptive statistics were used as quantitative analysis methods, and content analysis and inductive content analysis were used as qualitative analysis methods. As for the measurement method, the rate of using questionnaires was 56.3%, and among the questionnaires, 40.1% used the Psychological Skills Inventory. In the field of sports psychology, studies on athletes with disabilities are insufficient in Korea. In the future, researchers should actively conduct studies on disabled athletes and sport psychology.
