(2022) Popovych, I. S.; Radul, I.; Radul, V.; Geiko, Ie.; Hoi, N.; Sribna, O.; Tymosh, Yu.; Попович, І. С.
The purpose of the study is to justify the methodology for developing complexes of mental resources (CMR) for sports representatives by comparing CMR male and female sports teams. The male sample included football (n=108) and volleyball (n=58) teams, meanwhile, the female sample included handball (n=38) and volleyball (n=55) teams. Research Methods: valid test methods with standard survey forms; factor analysis; criterion and reliability coefficients of the empirical data array. Results. The methodology for developing complexes of mental resources in athletes is substantiated, and an algorithm for operations is proposed. ANOVA factor analysis was used to discover the most loaded parameters of all CMR. The CMR of male and female sports samples is represented graphically. F1 “Value-Meaningful” (DG1=24.01%; DG2=10.67%) and F2 “Pragmatically-Moderate” (DG2=24.25%; DG1=13.12%) are the most loaded CMR factors. Significant differences in the samples were found between the “Value-Meaningful” (t=3.2; p≤.01); “Pragmatically- Moderate” (t=-2.9; p≤.01) and “Procedural” (t=2.1; p≤.05) factors. The factors that comprise the valuemeaningful core are proven as the basis of the CMR of the male sample. It should be mentioned that the purpose of sports activities for male athletes is physical energy and “inner strength”, which allow them to overcome challenges, recover, and not break down. It was established that the CMR of the female sample is founded on pragmatism and moderation. The predominance of the pragmatic component in female sample representatives is assumed because the multifaceted nature of women consists in a female’s ability to create a family, give birth to children, and be in competitive sports shape in a relatively short period of time, which requires more time and psycho-emotional resources than men. Conclusions. The development of mental resource complexes enables the identification of major differences, the identification of athlete growth indicators, and serves as the basis for the development of work programs aimed at strengthening mental resources.
CORRELATION BETWEEN ATHLETES’ AGGRESSIVENESS AND PARAMETERS OF SELF-EFFICACY IN HIGH-STRESS COMPETITIVE SITUATIONS
(2024) Popovych, I. S.; Koval, I.; Hoi, N.; Omelianiuk, S.; Lappo, V.; Hoian, I.; Huzar, V.; Попович, І. С.
The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between athletes' aggressiveness and various parameters of self-efficacy during tense competitive situations. The sample consisted of athletes spanning different levels of sporting experience, from juniors to professionals, excluding amateurs and veterans. Participants were involved in International, European, World, and Olympic sports competitions. Their age was between 15 and 32 years. Sample characteristics: n = 120; М = 23.45; SD = ±5.12; Мe = 23.50. Methods: Valid and reliable psychodiagnostic instruments were used to perform a comprehensive cross-sectional analysis. The parameters of self-efficacy examined included self-efficacy in subject activity, self-efficacy in interpersonal communication, motivation for achieving success, and motivation for avoiding failure. Results. Using Pearson’s correlation coefficient (rxy), ten statistically significant bivariate correlations of aggressiveness characteristics with the parameters of self-efficacy were established (p ≤ .050; p ≤ .010). It was explained that the obtained regularities constitute a poly-determined construct of the complex nature of aggressiveness in the context of sporting activities. It was highlighted that it does not allow stating that self-efficacy is determined by athletes’ aggressiveness. It was found that “direct physical aggressiveness” is the most dependent aggressiveness characteristic – four correlations. It was established that “level of impulsiveness” in sports competitions is the least controlled state and, consequently, the most dangerous one. It was found that groups with low levels of aggressiveness had a statistically significant advantage in all five pairs. Discussion and conclusions. The dual nature of aggressiveness in sports was revealed and constructive or destructive characteristics of the impact on sporting activities were explained. The knowledge of the specificity of athletes’ aggressiveness was deepened. It was generalized that an athlete’s aggressiveness is a highly complex psycho-emotional resource, that requires the formedness of a high level of self-regulation and the ability to manage one’s psycho-emotional state, achieving optimal sports readiness. We recommend that the obtained empirical results should be implemented in educational-training process, tactical and psychological training for athletes.
CORRELATION BETWEEN JUNIORS’ MENTAL HEALTH PARAMETERS AND SPORTS MOTIVATION
(2024) Kurova, A.; Popovych, I. S.; Zablotskyi, A.; Bazyka, Y.; Poleshchuk, L.; Hoi, N.; Los, O.; Попович, І. С.
o explore the relationship between mental health parameters and sports motivation among junior athletes. Methods: The research sample included junior athletes aged 15–19 who trained regularly and pursued sports as a means of professional self-realization. An equal number of male (n = 32; 50.00%) and female athletes (n = 32; 50.00%) were selected. The sample maintained a balance between individual and team sports, with n = 32 (50.00%) participants from individual sports and n = 32 (50.00%) from team sports. Descriptive statistics for the sample were as follows: M = 18.12; SD = ±2.97; Me = 18.00. The parameters of mental health, the level of juniors’ positive mental health and health status, and groups of intrinsic and extrinsic motives were measured with valid and reliable psycho-diagnostic tools. Standard coefficients were used to establish statistical significance. Results. Two athletes’ profiles were created: a three-dimensional profile of mental health and a profile of sports motivation. Eighteen significant correlations between the parameters of groups of intrinsic and extrinsic motives and the mental health of athletes were established (p ≤ .050; p ≤ .010; p ≤ .001), three of them being inverse. The motive of skill development has the strongest correlations with an internal locus of control over health, positive mental health, and health status. The comparative matrix allowed for identifying the superiority of Group 1 (a high level of the parameters of mental health) in four pairs of dimensions: positive mental health and positive emotions; an internal locus of control and skill development; positive mental health and skill development; health status and skill development. No significant difference was found in the level of health status (Group 1 > 38.00 ≤ 1 Group 2) in the parameter “demotivation”. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that systematic work on oneself, which manifests in self-improvement of technical and practical skills, allows purposeful and hard-working junior athletes to achieve remarkable sports results. The motives of learning new things and positive emotions with four direct correlations each are the most dependent ones. There is a caveat that junior athletes’ health status as a complex state of physical, emotional, and mental well-being may weaken sports motivation. It was recommended that the results obtained should be considered by administrators, coaches, psychologists, and managers of sports institutions who work with junior athletes

The purpose was to conduct empirical research and theoretically substantiate the correlation between the parameters of dispositional self-development of future specialists of the socioeconomic profile and the factors of professional growth. It is substantiated and generalized that dispositional self-development is the readiness and inclination of future specialists of the socionomic profile to self-education, self-creation, and self-improvement, which is capable of ensuring permanent professional growth and professional development. Participants of the empirical study are seekers of three academic degrees (Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctor of Philosophy) studying at three Ukrainian higher education institutions, and are future socioeconomic specialists. The age of the research participants ranged from 17 to 32 years (M=21.06; Me=21.00; SD=5.84), with a total of n=132. Methods: “Dispositional Characteristics of Personality Self-Development” (DCPSD) (Kuzikova, 2017); “Personal Orientation Inventory” (РОІ) (Shostrom, 1964); “The Method of Diagnosing the Individual’s Motivation to Achieve Success and Avoid Failure” (MDIMASAF) (Elers, 2002); methods of mathematical statistics. Results. In the comparison of low, medium, and high levels of dispositional self-development parameters, no statistically significant differences were found (р>.05). It was discovered that the dispositional self-development parameters “Need for Self-Development”, “Conditions of Self-Development”, and “Mechanisms of Self-Development” had statistically significant correlations with the parameters of self-actualization and motivation to achieve success (р<.050; р<.010). When compared to other parameters, it is proved that the “Need of Self-Development” (NSD) was a reflection of the phenomenon’s cognitive intentions and was the most important parameter of the respondents’ dispositional self-development (nine significant correlations – the greatest number). Discussion and сonclusions. It was substantiated and proven that dispositional self-development is an important component of future specialists’ self-actualization, self-education, and quality professional training. The scientific findings should be applied in educational and professional activities.
IMPACT OF PSYCHOGENIC FACTORS ON MOTIVATIONAL ORIENTATION OF JUNIOR ATHLETES
(2023) Popovych, I. S.; Koval, I.; Zavatska, N.; Hoi, N.; Shchyruk, I.; Domina, H.; Zinchenko, S.; Попович, І. С.
The purpose of the empirical research is to find out the impact of psychogenic factors on motivational orientation of junior athletes. The study identified differences in the psychological content parameters reflecting psychogenic factors of junior athletes by high and low levels. The research involved juniors (n=75) (Мe=17; М=17.23; SD=±1.67) representing the following football clubs (n=43): FC “Krystal” (Kherson, Ukraine), FC “Riatuvalnyk” (Mykolaiv, Ukraine), FC “Enerhiia” (Lviv, Ukraine) and juniors (n=32) of handball clubs “Dniprianka” (Kherson, Ukraine) and “Real” (Mykolaiv, Ukraine). Methods: the selected methods, which are reliable and sensitive to the research subject, allowed measuring the research parameters relevantly, ensured external and internal validity. In addition, purposeful observation with entering data in standard reports was used. Statistically significant differences were found by means of standard coefficients. Results. It was empirically established and substantiated that there are dominant negative statistically significant correlations (р<.050; р<.010) of depressiveness (D), neuro-psychic tension (NPT), situational reactive anxiety (SRA) and personal anxiety (PA), spontaneous (Scale II) and reactive aggressiveness (Scale VII) with all the parameters of motivational orientation of junior athletes: subject-directed (Sb); result-directed (R), socially directed (Sc) and personally directed motivational orientation (P). A positive correlation of neuro-psychic tension (NPT) and spontaneous aggressiveness (Scale II) is accounted for by an impact on socially directed motivational orientation. It was proved that there are statistically significant differences between the respondents with a high level of the parameters reflecting psychogenic factors and the subgroup of respondents with a low level. Thirteen statistically significant differences were registered (p≤.050; p≤.010). The study highlights that subject-directed motivational orientation (Sb) is the most dependent on the level of development of the parameters reflecting psychogenic factors. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that the suggested summative research strategy with elements of comparison of the examined variables confirmed its efficiency. The applied methods, which are sensitive to the research subject, allowed establishing and substantiating statistically significant differences. The obtained results should be taken into consideration by coaches in physical and tactical-technical training for the representatives of team sports
PRE-COMPETITION EXPECTATION PROFILES AMONG JUNIOR ATHLETES IN THE CONTEXT OF ALTERED SPORTING CONDITIONS
(2023) Popovych, I. S.; Kosmii, M.; Hrys, A.; Hoi, N.; Dyhun, I.; Hoian, I.; Nosov, P.; Попович, І. С.
The primary aim of this research was to empirically examine and substantiate the of various pre-competition expectations exhibited by junior athletes, particularly in light of altering conditions within a sporting contest.The study involved a cohort of adolescents (n=267) (Мe=16; М=16.32; SD=±1.71). The participants were representatives of team sports such as football and volleyball, as well as individual sports such as artistic gymnastics and track and field. The empirical investigation focused on junior athletes enrolled in an educational training course at two sports schools: “LSSCY Enerhetyk” in Lviv, Ukraine and “SSSYOR №1” in Ivano- Frankivsk, Ukraine. Methods. Psychodiagnostic tools were employed to gauge the content parameters of both expectations and the concept of a safe competition space. Standard coefficients were applied to discern statistically significant correlations within the collected data. The categorization of pre-competition expectations was accomplished through the application of k-means clustering. Results. This research established statistically significant correlations cognitive, emotional and behavioral components of psychological safety and expectation parameters underscoring the pivotal influence of both the competition space and pre-competition expectations on actual competitive performance. The delineation of five distinct precompetition expectation types emerged: real (RTE), active analytical (AATE), moderate (MTE), passive moderate (PMTE) and unreal (UTE). The findings provided robust evidence supporting that RTE, AATE and MTE constitute favorable expectation types, contributing positively to desired outcomes. In contrast, PMTE and UTE were identified as negative types, exhibiting a detrimental impact on achieving desirable results. Notably, the study demonstrated and substantiated the heightened risk associated with PMTE establishing it as the most perilous type of expectation for athletes engaged in competitive activities. Discussion and conclusions. This study revealed a significant negative correlation, particularly the cognitive component of psychological safety (CC), with expected status (ESA). This finding underscores the increased risk associated with this psychological configuration because it promotes a closed convergent position with subsequent distancing. Such a psychological state, coupled with a diminished awareness of competition activity (ACA), consistently leads to tactical errors in both offensive and defensive actions among athletes. These errors, in turn, disrupt team interaction and hinder the execution of a game plan. It was generalized that the identified precompetition expectation types among junior athletes, especially under altering sporting conditions, carry a distinctive scientific novelty. Moreover, these findings can be practically operationalized in the realm of educational training preparation.

(2024) Hrys*, А.; Грись*, А.; Pavliuk, O.; Павлюк, O.; Hoi, N.; Гой, Н.; Los, O.; Лось, O.
The aim is theoretical-empirical research of the dom inant strategies of student youth’s self-presentations in the context of social desirability and actual behav ioral tendencies. Methods. The sample involved stu dents from three levels of higher education institutions of Ukraine representing socionomic and technon omic profiles and numbered n = 142 participants. The respondents’ age ranged from 18 to 28 years (M = 23.36; Me = 23.50; SD = ± 6.12). Theoretical and empir ical research methods were used. Theoretical methods included analysis, synthesis and generalization. Empir ical methods comprised a complex of valid and reliable methods which ensured determination of the parame ters of self-representation, social desirability and behav ioral tendencies. Standard methods of mathematical sta tistics were applied to establish statistically significant correlations and differences. Results and discussion. We registered eleven statistically significant correlations of self-representation strategies with the researched parameters, all of them being direct at the level р≤.050; р≤.010 and р≤.001. It was found that the assertive self-presentation strategy “Wanting to be liked” (AWL) (n = 102; 71.83%; М = 4.03; SD = ±.67) is dominant in student youth. We revealed the dual nature of student youth’s self-representation strategies and found that the dominant approval motivation manifests itself in constructive and destructive forms. It was estab lished and explained that high social desirability with the behavioral tendency for dependence has a negative impact on intellectual and physical activities of adoles cents. We warn that such a combination can be trans formed into respondents’ psychological dependence on permanent self-approval, updating profiles in social net works and the desire to meet social expectations. Con clusions. We highlighted the danger which can be posed by high levels of the formedness of social desirability by the scales “self-deceit” and “managing impressions” for the formation of a young individual, if no prevention measures are taken to develop assertive self-presenta tion strategies. The findings of the applied research should be implemented in educational process, used in psychological theory and practice. The obtained scien tific facts possess novelty and value for everyone work ing with student yout Метою є теоретико-емпіричне дослідження домі нуючих стратегій самопрезентацій студентської молоді в контексті соціальної бажаності й акту альних тенденцій поведінки. Методи. Вибіркову сукупність склали студенти трьох рівнів закладів вищої освіти України, які представили соціономіч ний і технономічний профілі, загальною кількістю n = 142 особи. Вік респондентів знаходився в межах від 18 до 28 років (M = 23.36; Me = 23.50; SD = ± 6.12). Використано теоретичні й емпіричні методи дослідження. Теоретичні методи склали аналізу вання, синтезування й узагальнення. Емпіричні методи – комплекс валідних і надійних методик, який забезпечив з’ясування параметрів самопрезен тації, соціальної бажаності й тенденцій поведінки. Для з’ясування статистично достовірних зв’яз ків і відмінностей застосовано стандартні методи математичної статистики. Результати і дискусія. Зафіксовано одинадцять статистично достовірних кореляційних зв’язків стратегій самопрезентації з досліджуваними параметрами, з яких усі прямі на рівні р≤.050; р≤.010 і р≤.001. Констатовано, що асер тивна стратегія самопрезентації – “Бажання сподо батися” (АБС) (n = 102; 71.83%; М = 4.03; SD = ±.67) є домінуючою у студентської молоді. Констатовано дуальну природу стратегій самопрезентації студент ської молоді і визначено, що домінуючим є мотив схвалення, який реалізується у конструктивній і деструктивній формах. З’ясовано й пояснено, що висока соціальна бажаність із тенденцією поведінки до залежності негативно позначається на розумовій і фізичній активності осіб юнацького віку. Зроблено застереження, що таке поєднання може трансфор муватися у психологічну залежність респонден тів від перманентного самосхвалення, постійного оновлення профілів у соціальних мережах, праг нення відповідати очікуванням соціуму. Висновки. Акцентовано увагу на небезпеці, яку можуть мати високі рівні сформованості соціальної бажаності за шкалами “самообман” і “управління враженнями” на формування юної особистості, якщо не здійснювати профілактичних заходів, спрямованих на форму вання асертивних стратегій самопрезентації. Дослі дження має прикладний характер, його результати доцільно впровадити в освітній процес, застосувати у психологічній теорії і практиці. Отримані наукові факти містять новизну і представляють цінність для всіх, хто працює зі студентською молоддю.
Strengthening of student youth’s mental health using play sports
(2022) Popovych, I.; Hoi, N.; Koval, I.; Vorobel, M.; Semenov, O.; Semenova, N.; Hrys, A.; Попович, І. С.; Гой, Н. В.; Коваль, І. А.; Воробель, М. М.; Семенов, О. С.; Семенова, Н. І.; Грись, А. М.
The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate and empirically establish that health-preserving technologies, such as play sports, may improve the mental health of student youth. Respondents were first-year students who, on their initiative, participated in a university program to implement health technologies, regularly attending sectional trainings in play sports (males – football; females – volleyball). The ascertaining stage of the experimental study was attended by n = 122 respondents aged 18 to 20 years (M = 18.6), and the formative stage was attended by n = 72 respondents. Football EGF (n = 24) and volleyball EGV (n = 12) were formed as experimental groups, and football CGF (n = 24) and volleyball CGV (n = 12) as control groups. Research methods: analysis, generalization; targeted observation using data recording protocols; valid methods with standard questionnaires. Results. It was revealed that respondents’ psychological well-being (PW), which was measured in the coordinates of positive self-esteem (.227; p≤.01), the general mood background (.321; p≤.01) and the life satisfaction index (.301; p≤.01), was a predictor of mental health. Psychological well-being (PW) was shown to have the greatest statistically significant correlation (p≤.05; p≤.01) with the self-regulation and life satisfaction characteristics of student youth. The parameters “Self-acceptance” (р˂.01), “Psychological wellbeing” (р˂.01), “Life Satisfaction Index” (р˂.01), “Evaluation of Performance” (р˂.01), “Integral Level of SelfRegulation” (р˂.01) showed positive significant changes in both experimental groups (EGF – football, EGV – volleyball). It is emphasized that positive changes in students’ self-perception of themselves are, in our opinion, the most important positive changes that affect the general mood (.223; p≤.01) and is one of the most important parameters of mental health of respondents. Conclusions. It is generalized that regular training and competitions of student youth in football (males) and volleyball (females) during the academic year, contribute to statistically significant changes in mental health parameters. The implemented practice is an effective health-preserving technology that should be applied in college and higher education institutions’ instructional processes. Метою статті є теоретичне обґрунтування і емпіричне встановлення, що здоров’язбережувальні технології засобами ігрових видів спорту, здатні зміцнити психічне здоров’я студентської молоді. Респондентами є студенти першого року навчання, які за власною ініціативою беруть участь в університетській програмі реалізації здоров’язбережувальних технологій, регулярно відвідуючи секційні тренування з ігрових видів спорту (хлопці – футбол; дівчата – волейбол). На констатувальному етапі експериментального дослідження взяло участь n=122 респонденти, віком від 18 до 20 років (M=18.6), на формувальному n=72. Створено дві експериментальні групи: футбольну EGF (n=24) і волейбольну EGV (n=12) та дві контрольні групи: футбольну CGF (n=24) і волейбольну CGV (n=12). Методи дослідження: аналізування, узагальнення; цілеспрямоване спостереження з протоколами для фіксування даних; валідні методики зі стандартними бланками анкет. Результати. З’ясовано, що психологічне благополуччя (PW) респондентів є предиктором психічного здоров’я, яке знаходиться у координатах позитивної самооцінки (.227; p≤.01), загального фону настрою (.321; p≤.01) та індексу задоволеності життям (.301; p≤.01). Констатовано, що психологічне благополуччя (PW) має найбільше статистично значущих зв’язків (p≤.05; p≤.01) з параметрами саморегуляції і задоволеності життям студентської молоді. Встановлено позитивні значущі зміни у обох експериментальних групах (EGF – футбольній, EGV – волейбольній) у параметрах: “Самоприйняття” (р˂.01), “Психологічне благополуччя” (р˂.01), “Індекс Задоволеності Життям” (р˂.01), “Оцінка Результатів Діяльності” (р˂.01), “Інтегральний Рівень Саморегуляції” (р˂.01). Акцентовано, що позитивні зміни самосприйняття студентською молоддю себе вважаємо найважливішими позитивними змінами, які впливають на загальний фон настрою (.223; p≤.01) і є одним з найважливіших параметрів психічного здоров’я респондентів. Висновки. Узагальнено, що регулярні тренування і змагання студентської молоді з футболу (хлопці) і волейболу (дівчата) впродовж навчального року, сприяють статистично значущим змінам у параметрах психічного здоров’я. Впроваджена практика є ефективною здоров’язбережувальною технологією, яку доцільно імплементувати у освітній процес закладів вищої та середньої освіти.
