예술고등학교 무용전공생들의 성취목표성향에 따른 FRS, SPAS와의 관계

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between art high school’s dance major’s achievement goal orientation and FRS and SPAS. First, the goal orientations effectively influence only SPAS. Secondly, the relationship between the achievement goal orientations, FRS, and SPAS shows the goal orientation and FRS do not have positive relation, and the relationship shows negative relation with SPAS and one of subfactors, task ego orientation. Also, negative relations appeared between FRS and SPAS. Thirdly, the difference between FRS and SPAS according to the demographic characteristic shows region, sex, grade, and major have significance difference.

O fluxo no voleibol: relação com a motivação, autoeficácia, habilidade percebida e orientação às metas

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the flow and the forms of motivation established for the theory of self-determination, self-efficacy, perceived ability and goal orientation. Participants were males volleyball players who responded to the following instruments: Demographic Evaluation, Sports Motivation Scales, Task Ego Orientation in Sport Scale, Self-efficacy for Volleyball Single Scale, Perceived Ability, and Perceptual Flow Scales. Data were collected in three games. The results showed that the average flow of the athletes were low. There was a negative relationship with the components of extrinsic motivation and amotivation, and a positive relationship between the flow and self-efficacy in the second phase, and between flow and perceived ability in the second and third phases of the study. Regarding the orientation task, the relationship was negative in the second phase and positive in the third stage games, state and regional championships, respectively.

116 The effects of pre-race psychological status on performance during a sprint triathlon in a hot and dry environment

The current study examined the relationship between pre-race mood status (POMS), competitive-anxiety (SCAT), task-ego orientation (TEOSQ) and physiological performance during a sprint triathlon (750m swim, 20km cycle, 5km run) in hot (33.4 0.4 C) and dry (34.6 0.6%RH) conditions. Eight trained triathletes completed the POMS, TEOSQ and SCAT questionnaires prior to competition. Heart rate (HR) was recorded every 5 seconds throughout the race using a POLAR S610 monitor. Time and average HR for the swim, cycle, run and total race were determined and compared to questionnaire responses. Environmental conditions were recorded every 10 minutes using data loggers. Significant correlations were identified between psychological indicators and performance. The results indicated that the run ( =0.82, p 0.05) for overall performance (total time). Performance at a higher intensity during the swim was associated with greater anxiety ( =0.75, p<0.05) and higher task orientation ( =0.74, p<0.05). Athletes who reported higher levels of depression similarly reported higher levels of anger ( =0.72, p<0.05), fatigue ( =0.78, p<0.05) and mood disturbance ( =0.88, p<0.05). These results indicate a relationship between pre-race mood, task-ego orientation and performance in a sprint triathlon competition. Further research is needed to understand how particular psychological stats may enhance or detract form physiological performance.

114 Psychological correlates of performance in elite female basketball players

Basketball is a fast-paced court sport currently played by over 100,000 females in Australia. Despite this popularity and the presence of a national competition since 1980, research into the sporting experience of elite female basketball players is limited. 19 elite female basketball players competing in the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) participated in this research. A pre-screening questionnaire, the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT), and the Task-Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire were completed prior to the commencement of the 2002-3 season. During the season, players completed the Profile of Mood States (POMS) 1-hour prior to each game Performance data was recorded for each player for each game. Results indicated that tension was significantly correlated with anger ( =.67, p<.05), and depression ( =.80, p<.01). Those participants with lower levels of fatigue ( =-.64, p<.05) and anger ( =-.87, p<.01) had a significantly higher free throw percentage. Those players who were more successful in converting free throw shots made significantly more personal fouls ( =.81, p<.01), thus suggesting higher involvement with the game. Interestingly significant differences were not found for home and away games on mood states such as anger (F(1 ,48) = .63, p = ..43), vigour (F(1 ,48) = .04, p = 85.), and fatigue (F(1 ,48) = 1.21, p = .277). Implications for the findings of this research may have practical application for coaches and players. Suggestions will be offered for further development of this research with female athletes.
