    SELF-REGULATORY BEHAVIOR STYLES OF JUNIORS IN ACHIEVING WINNING OUTCOMES
    (2025) Popovych, I. S.; Kryzhanovskyi, O.; Zavatskyi, V.; Tkachenko, N.; Hrytsuk, O.; Kolly-Shamne, A.; Danko, D.; Попович, І. С.
    The purpose of this study is to identify the dominant styles of self-regulatory behavior among junior athletes in their pursuit of winning outcomes. Methods: The research sample comprised juniors aged 15–19 who actively participated in sports and competed at various levels, ranging from regional contests to national championships and international tournaments. Statistical analysis involved empirical data collected from participants who had achieved success in individual sports and had won matches in team sports. The characteristics of the sample population are as follows: n = 154; М = 17.34; SD = ±3.51; Мe = 17.00. The key parameters of the styles of self- regulatory behavior, self-acceptance, the need for sports achievements, and self-efficacy in subject activity and interpersonal communication were determined using valid and reliable psychodiagnostic tools. Results. Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R) allowed for establishing thirteen direct correlations and one inverse correlation of the styles of self-regulation and self-acceptance with the parameters of a winning outcome (p ≤ .050; p ≤ .010). It was found that planning as a style of junior athletes’ self-regulatory activity has all significant direct correlations with the parameters of a winning outcome. It was established that independence is the most essential characteristic of self-regulation in sporting activities. The absence of correlations in the parameters “modeling” and “programming” does not reduce their value as self-regulation styles but rather reflects their formation in our population sample. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that the research into the styles of junior athletes’ self-regulatory behavior in achieving a winning outcome is an examination of the psychological content parameters of managing one’s psycho-emotional state, which is achieved through verbal, visual, and behavioral means. It was noted that the parameter “evaluating sports results” has one correlation with the need for achievements and no correlation with the other two parameters – self-efficacy in subject activity and self-efficacy in interpersonal communication. It was explained that junior athletes, permanently evaluating their sports achievements, focus too much on their personality, strengths and weaknesses, which is accompanied by the work of defense mechanisms, which do not allow them to properly concentrate on the process of learning and training. It is recommended that the obtained empirical results and theoretical conclusions be used in the education and training process at sports schools for children and youth and junior academies functioning in professional teams

    VOLITIONAL SELF-CONTROL IN DYSREGULATION STRATEGIES OF JUNIOR ATHLETES.
    (2025) Popovych, I.; Matusiak, H.; Soliev, I.; Hrytsuk, O.; Burdina, T.; Tkachenko, N.; Los, O.; Ilchuk, S.; Попович, І. С.
    The aim is to perform theoretical and empirical research on the manifestations, psychological correlations, and differences in volitional self-control related to dysregulation strategies in junior athletes. Methods: The study involved a random sample of junior athletes from Ukrainian sports schools of the Olympic reserve for children and youth, including students with experience playing on U-17 and U-19 junior teams of professional sports clubs. A total of 130 respondents aged 15–19 participated, with 67 female athletes (51.54%) and 63 male athletes (48.46%). The descriptive statistics for age were М = 17.12 and SD = ±3.28. Results. It was substantiated that the descriptive frequency characteristics of non-productive coping strategies and the dimensions of junior athletes' emotional dysregulation allowed for creating a general profile of respondents' dysregulation strategies. It was explained that the profile allows for identifying respondents' capacity for volitional self-control. The smaller the area outlined by a dysregulation contour, the higher the level of productive coping, and the lower the probability of destabilization in juniors' sports activities. Correspondingly, a large area testifies to junior athletes' poor ability to control learning and training, competitive, and rehabilitative activities. A comparison by the grouping variables “general volitional self-control”, “perseverance”, and “self-mastery” was performed. Significant differences were identified in all the parameters of the grouping variable “general volitional selfcontrol”. The only superiority was recorded in “distancing coping” by two grouping variables, “perseverance” and “self-mastery”. It was explained that junior athletes with a low level of perseverance and self-mastery are prone to “distancing coping”, which negatively affects learning and training, competitive, and rehabilitative activities. The results of the correlation matrix show that a lack or a low level of self-mastery in juniors is a cause of all failures in sports activities. Dimensionality reduction allowed for recording two factors, “volitional dysregulation” and “controlled emotional dysregulation”. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that research into volitional self-control in dysregulated behaviors is a confirmatory strategy aimed at finding the levels, establishing correlations, and identifying differences and dominant junior athletes' dysregulated states at the stage of their professional and personal development. It was summarized that the established scientific facts possess scientific novelty in developing junior athletes' emotional and volitional sphere. It was recommended that the identified patterns and new knowledge be implemented in the learning and training process at sports schools of the Olympic reserve for children and youth.
