Abstract
A new analytical method for psychological research is being proposed. The advantages of evaluation with fuzzy statistical analysis include: (i) The evaluation process becomes robust and consistent by reducing the degree of subjectivity of the evaluator; (ii) The self-potentiality is highlighted by indicating individual distinctions and (iii) It provides the evaluators with an encouraging, stimulating, self-reliant guide that emphasizes individual characteristics. The empirical results demonstrate that the new approach is efficient and more realistic than the traditional method. To demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the new method, the results are presented in comparison to those obtained with the help of the traditional method. Twelve subjects were involved in this study and Sinha’s Comprehensive Anxiety Test (SCAT) and Approval Motive Scale were employed. Fuzzy and traditional approaches are discussed in the end. Keywords: Fuzzy logic; Anxiety; Motivation; Defuzzification; Fuzzyfication of variables.
Highlights
Sports contain both a psychological and social dimension
Most of the nations share a common attention in sports competitions, especially at certain times during Olympic Games, where people from all nations focus their attention on that drama of competition
The fuzzy systems predict the motivational level of players with the help of anxiety of players (Table 2) without using a psychological motivation scale
Summary
Sports contain both a psychological and social dimension. It means that sports are psycho-social activity full of tension, anxiety, fear and stress. The degree of perceived anxiety is an important variable to be considered in the performance of an individual. The degree of the learning achieved can be manipulated by the strength of the drive and its underlying motivation.(Hull, 1943) In Tolman's theory of purposive behaviorism, primary drives create internal states (i.e., wants or needs) that serve as secondary drives and represent intrinsic motivation (Tolman,1932/1967). According to Malone, intrinsically motivating activities provide learners with a broad range of challenges, concrete feedback, and clear criteria for performance. The use of imprecise and vague terms like “It is a cold day” or “You are very good” or “The tall guy over there” are usually heard The words such as cold, very good, and tall have no clear boundaries.
