Item 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 teamsItem RE-ADAPTATION OF JUNIOR ATHLETES TO COMPETITIVE ACTIVITY AFTER A FORCED BREAK(2024) Popovych, I. S.; Burlakova, I.; Omelianiuk, S.; Kornienko, V.; Kondes, T.; Kharytonova, N.; Zavatska, N.; Hoian, I.; Попович, І. С.This study aims to perform a theoretical and empirical analysis to identify psychological factors, establish key correlations, and determine the differences in junior athletes’ re-adaptation to competitive activity after a forced break. Methods: The research involved 36 junior athletes from both individual and team sports, representing sports schools for children and youth – “LSSCY Enerhetyk” (Lviv, Ukraine), “SSSYOR №1” (Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine), and junior academies of professional football and handball clubs from Kherson and Mykolaiv. A forced break in competitive activity was the primary criterion for participant selection. Valid and reliable psycho-diagnostic tools, previously tested in sports studies, were employed. Results: No statistically significant differences were observed in the re-adaptive capacity parameters across the examined junior samples. An algorithm for creating a profile to assess junior athletes’ ability to re-adapt is proposed. It considerably simplifies the management of recovery process and is capable of increasing the accuracy of planning competitive activities. It was established that the following parameters are the most dependent parameters of re-adaptation (three correlations for each): “adaptability”, “acceptance of others” and “internality”. The most dependent coping strategies (five correlations for each) are as follows: “problem-solving planning” and “escape–avoidance”. It was explained that the strongest direct correlation of “internality” with the coping strategy “problem-solving planning” (rs = .549; p <.001) testifies that the efforts made by the re-adapting individual have the greatest re- adapting effect. It was found that the opposite effect is in the correlation between “emotional comfort” and the coping strategy “escape–avoidance” (rs = -.525; p = .001) which is the most undesirable combination at the stage of re-adaptation. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that juniors’ re-adaptation to competitive activity after a forced break is the return of athletes to active training and competitive processes in order to resume a sporting career. It was noted that the comparison of two groups with low and high levels of the parameters of re-adaptation confirmed that adaptive capacity and internal orientation towards problem-solving is the most effective combination of juniors’ competences at the stage of re-adaptation to competitive activity after a forced break. It was summarized that re-adaptation is an important scientific problem in research into sporting activities which requires empirical study and implementation of effective practices in sporting activitiesItem STRATEGIES FOR EXTREME SELF-ORGANIZATION AMONG HANDBALL PLAYERS(2024) Plokhikh, V.; Popovych, I. S.; Kruglov, K.; Sabadukha, O.; Melnyk, N.; Omelianiuk, S.; Hoian, I.; Попович, І. С.This study aims to conduct theoretical and empirical research into the strategies of extreme self- organization among handball players in competitive context. Methods: The research sample consisted of 34 athletes, aged 20–28 years (Мe = 22.00; М = 21.87; SD = ± 3.64), who had been actively involved in handball for 4–12 years and represented both women’s and men’s teams. Validated psycho-diagnostic tools, extensively tested in team sports research, were used. Additionally, purposeful non-participant observation was performed using standard protocols. Theoretical methods were employed to analyze, generalize, and explain the empirical results. Results: The research strategy included comparing the parameters of two attack lines, the first line (Group 1) and the second line (Group 2), to assess their extreme self-organization strategies. It was found that experienced handball players rely on perfectly practiced functional models of organization, focusing on permanent significant changes in spatio-temporal relations of a competitive situation. It was established that the dominant strategies are as follows: taking responsibility; self-control; problem-solving planning. It was found that the competitive strategy orientated towards social support is manifested moderately. The moderation is explained by the connection of the players’ game expectations with successful functional self-realization of teammates, rather than with the emotionally colored personal self-realization. It was established that the strategy of confrontation is statistically pronounced in the experienced handball players of the first line of attack. This preference was regarded as a consequence of the functionally determined and normatively provided close physical contact with the players of the team-competitor. It was highlighted that the excessive confrontational attitude of experienced players is compensated by distancing oneself from provoking circumstances. Discussion and conclusions. It was established that the strategies of handball players’ extreme self-organization are motivational-behavioral patterns, caused by stressogenic situations of a contest, the players’ role positions on the sports ground, external and internal factors of sporting activities and organizational-content features of handball competitions. It was substantiated that the strategies of extreme self-organization of the first and second lines of attack have regular different functional-content parameters. It was proved that the obtained results of the research into the strategies of extreme self-organization possess scientific novelty and are valuable for representatives of team sports.Item RESEARCH ON HUBRISTIC MOTIVATION AND JUNIORS’ SELF-EFFICACY IN ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXTS(2024) Omelianiuk, S.; Popovych, I. S.; Domina, H.; Sedykh, K.; Hoian, I.; Kovalchuk, Z.; Petraniuk, A.; Попович, І. С.This study aims to explore and substantiate correlations between hubristic motivation and parameters such as subject activity, interpersonal communication, and the drive to achieve sports results among juniors. Methods: Valid and reliable tools previously tested in sports studies involving junior samples were employed. Standard statistical coefficients were used to establish significant correlations and identify differences. Results: Hubristic motivation among juniors was examined through two dimensions—desire for perfection (DP) and desire for superiority (DS)—highlighting their impact on juniors' self-efficacy, characterized by maximalist tendencies and confidence in achieving competitive success, influencing both formal and content aspects of sporting activities. A statistical advantage of juniors in team sports (Group 1) by the parameter “desire for perfection” and the advantage of juniors in individual sports (Group 2) by the parameter “desire for superiority” were established. It was explained that team educational-training work, learning technical schemes and practicing them in training make athletes concentrate on improving their technique and constantly ascertain that a sports result depends on well-coordinated team work. Accordingly, individual sports work can take much time to analyze and compare oneself with real or probable competitors, therefore, the desire for superiority rationally and intuitively becomes dominant. It was stated that the correlation between the desire for perfection and subject activity is the strongest one. It is logical that improvement of one’s mastery is a direct way to self-efficacy and a victory result. It was established that there was no correlation between the desire for perfection and the parameter of self-efficacy “interpersonal communication”. Discussion and conclusions: It was explained that efficacy facilitates friendly and warm relationships in communication and can lower requirements for oneself and teammates in practicing tactical schemes in training. It was summarized that hubristic motivation as a dichotomous unity of the desire for perfection and the desire for superiority is one of important psychological mechanisms of the formation of a junior athlete’s personality and organization of a junior’s motivation structure.Item PROPENSITY FOR ADVENTUROUSNESS IN THE MOTIVATIONAL STRUCTURE OF JUNIOR ATHLETES(2024) Popovych, I. S.; Kolly-Shamne, A.; Piletska, L.; Soroka, O.; Hoian, I.; Yaremchuk, V.; Huzar, V.; Попович, І. С.This study aims to establish statistical correlations between the propensity for adventurousness and components of junior athletes' motivational structures. Methods: The sample consisted of juniors actively involved in competitive, training, and rehabilitative sports, regularly participating in competitions ranging from regional to international levels, including European, World, and Olympic events. The sample includes an equal number of male (n = 65; 50.00%) and female (n = 65; 50.00%) participants, as well as an equal representation from team sports (n = 65; 50.00%) and individual sports (n = 65; 50.00%), randomly selected. The size of the total sample was: n = 130 respondents aged from 17 to 19 years. The following descriptive characteristics were obtained: М = 18.38; SD = ±3.08; Мe = 18.50. The applied psycho-diagnostic tools tested in numerous studies on sports psychology, on junior samples are valid, reliable and representative. Results: Twenty-one statistically significant correlations of the parameters of propensity for adventurousness with motives for engaging in sports and thirty- four correlations with motives for achieving a sports result (p ≤ .050; p ≤ .010; p ≤ .001) were established using Spearman’s coefficient (rs). It was found that the parameters of propensity for adventurousness “emotional- motivational indicator of adventurousness” and “energy indicator of adventurousness” are the most dependent ones. It was explained by the fact that these components in junior athletes are a powerful mental resource which should be supported, developed and directed at volitional self-regulation. An algorithm for creating a profile of propensity for adventurousness was proposed. Discussion and conclusions: Comparison of the researched groups with a high level (Group 1) and a low level (Group 2) of propensity for adventurousness allowed summarizing that the athletes with a high level are guided by the desire for new sensations accompanied by adrenaline rush, frequent changes goals during sports competitions and by an immense desire for social self- affirmation. The athletes with a low level strive to improve sports skills, work on a procedural component accompanied by control, volitional efforts and self-regulation of sports behavior. It is recommended that the obtained results should be taken into consideration by coaches, psychologists and managers of sports institutions working with junior athletes.Item ANXIETY AS A MULTIFACETED PHENOMENON WITHIN THE MOTIVATIONAL ORIENTATION OF JUNIOR ATHLETES(2024) Popovych, I.; Попович, I.; Rodchenkova, I.; Lukjanchenko, V.; Yurkiv, Y.; Bilous, R.; Shevchenko, N.; Hoian, I.The objective is to empirically investigate statistically significant correlations and elucidate determinants of high and low anxiety parameters within the motivational orientation dimensions of junior athletes. The study encompassed male and female junior athletes (n = 96) (Мe = 17; М = 17.38; SD = ±1.71) representing individual sports from sports schools for children and young people – “SSSYOR №1” in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine and “LSSCY Enerhetyk” in Lviv, Ukraine – and youth academies of professional handball clubs: “HC Dniprianka” in Kherson, Ukraine and “HC Real” in Mykolaiv, Ukraine and football club “FC Enerhiya” in Lviv, Ukraine. Methods: valid and reliable methods were applied to find the parameters of anxiety and motivational orientation of the respondents before the beginning of the game. Additionally, a planned observation with standard blanks was used. Statistical coefficients were used to establish significant correlations. Results. It was found that the junior athletes with a low level (Group 1) of the parameters of anxiety have an advantage in the level of motivation over the athletes with a high level (Group 2). A lack of advantage in the parameters of situational and personal social protection – SSP (U = 623.50; p = .549) and PSP (U = 532.00; p = .091) – was explained by an equally important impact of this protection for the respondents with a high level and those with a low level. It was proved that high and low psychological content parameter of anxiety have statistically significant correlations with the respondents’ motivational orientation: Group 1 – thirty correlations; Group 2 – twenty seven correlations. It was empirically established that situational (SAEP) and personal (PAEP) anxious evaluation of prospects has a positive impact on subject-directed (SbM) and socially-directed (ScM) motivational orientation in the two research groups. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that the impact of the parameters of SAEP and PAEP are within the scope of a personal choice, social pressure and an athlete’s construction of the future that requires psychological assistance and support of coaching and teaching staff. It was highlighted that the impact of spectators, social pressure of mass-media, expectations of fans, coaching staff and management of an organization (sports school/professional club) and junior athletes’ aspirations to meet other peoples’ expectations are wrong tactics and strategies of training and competitive process. We can generalize that anxiety is a multifaceted phenomenon in the dimensions of motivational orientation of junior athletes combining a complex of internal and external factors determining psychophysiological reactions of a junior athlete’s body and their motivational orientation. We recommend that the obtained results should be taken into consideration by coaches working with juniorsItem TIME DECENTRATIONS OF JUNIOR ATHLETES UNDER CHANGED CONDITIONS OF COMPETITIVE ACTIVITY(2024) Hrys, A; Popovych, I.; Попович, І.; Zelenko, O.; Pavliuk, M.; Fedorenko, L.; Prachenko, O.; Huzar, V.The purpose of the research is to find and substantiate a correlation between time decentrations and self regulation of junior athletes under changed conditions of competitive activity. Methods. The main methods of a summative strategy of the research with elements of comparison were two valid and reliable psycho-diagnostic instruments: an adapted version of the questionnaire “Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory” (Zimbardo & Gonzalez, 1984) and a modified version of the questionnaire “Style of Self-regulation of Behavior” (Morosanova, 2004). Objective observation and structured interviews with data recorded in specialized protocol forms were supplementary research methods. Standard coefficients were employed to identify statistically significant differences. Results: The concept of time decentrations was defined, emphasizing their significance in junior sports. Seventeen statistically significant correlations were established (p ≤ .050; p ≤ .010). Temporal decentralization future (TDF) and temporal decentralization positive past (TDPP) exhibited the highest number of correlations, with six each. The strongest positive correlation of TDF with “Planning Training Activity” (PTA) (rs = .311; p ≤ .010) was established. It was substantiated that the strongest correlation between the dimensions “Planning Training Activity” (rs = .311; p ≤ .010) with Temporal Decentralization Future in combination with the other two strong (p ≤ .010) correlations of the dimension “Independence of Decision Making”: TDF (rs = .302) and TDPP (rs = .221) constitute an efficient self-regulation construct of achieving a victory result under changed conditions of competitive activity. Comparison of self-regulation parameters of respondents of an optimal profile (Group II) and a general profile (Group I) of time decentration was performed. Statistically significant differences (p ≤ .050; p ≤ .010) were found by three self-regulation parameters: “Planning Training Activity”, “Modelling Competitive Activity” and “Independence of Decision-Making”. Discussion and conclusions. The identified differences between time decentrations possess scientific novelty and are valuable for tactical-technical preparation of junior athletes. Operationalization of the obtained results can increase resourcefulness of junior athletes and create a competitive advantage over rivals under usual and changed conditions of competitive activityItem 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.Item 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 sportsItem CORRELATION OF THE COACH’S QUALITIES AND JUNIOR ATHLETES’ SELF-EFFICACY(2023) Halian, I. M.; Popovych, I. S.; Vovk, V.; Kariyev, A.; Poleshchuk, L.; Halian, O.; Попович, І. С.The purpose is to examine correlations between the coach’s personal and professional qualities and junior athletes with different levels of self-efficacy (n=103). Methods: correlation and cluster analyses, valid psychodiagnostic methods, coefficients for establishing statistical significance. Results. Self-efficacy was studied as a factor of successfulness in sporting activities and an indispensable component of professional training for junior athletes. The meaning of “subject activity” (SA) and “interpersonal communication” (IC) as components of junior athletes’ self-efficacy was examined. A statistically significant correlation (p<.05; p<.01) of the coach’s qualities and SA (t = -11.905; p=.000) and IC (t = -2.222; p=.040) was established. There were statistically significant differences in manifestation of self-efficacy of the junior athletes in Group 1 and Group 2 by scale SA (t = -11.905; p=.000); Group I and Group II by scale IC (t = -2.222, p=.040). The research shows that athletes’ evaluation of the coach’s personal and professional qualities is an important factor in the formation of selfefficacy both in the area of “subject activity” and in the area “interpersonal communication”. Junior athletes with a high level of self-efficacy by the criterion SA (Group 1) and IC (Group I) evaluate the coach’s personal and professional qualities at a high level by the following parameters: the gnostic parameter (М1=5.78±.66; М2=5.00±.866); the emotional parameter (М1=6.22±1.98; М2=7.33±.707); the behavioral parameter (М1=6.56±1.59; М2=6.8±1.33). Junior athletes with a low level of self-efficacy by the criterion SA (Group 2) and IC (Group ІІ) evaluated the coach’s role in their success in the following way: the gnostic parameter (М1=3.64±.505; М2=4.27±.1.42); the emotional parameter (М1=5.22±1.37; М2=4.18±.603); the behavioral parameter (М1=5.0±1.48; М2=4.64±.1.12). Pearson’s (R) correlation analysis allowed finding that evaluation of the coach’s professional qualities (R= 259; p<.01) and relationships between junior athletes and the coach (R=.178; p<.05) are important for the formation of self-efficacy related to sport qualification upgrading SA. The development of self-efficacy related to interpersonal communication IC depends on affection for the coach’s personality (R=.301; p<.01) and real relationships between junior athletes and the coach (R=.261; p<.01). Conclusions. It is generalized that the understanding of the role of the coach’s personal and professional qualities in increasing self-efficacy will contribute to better organization of sports pedagogical process, the development of skills in mutual constructive activity for achieving high sport results. Research on relationships “coachathletes” is considered to be promising in the context of improving the coach’s qualification and the formation of “team self-efficacy” in young athletes.
