Item COMPARATIVE RESEARCH ON CREATIVITY IN JUNIORS' MOTIVATION STRUCTURE(2025) Popovych, I. S.; Unhurian, N.; Varnava, U.; Bilosevych, I.; Soroka, O.; Dobrovolska, N.; Hoian, I.; Попович, І. С.The aim of this study was to perform theoretical–empirical research into the psychological parameters of creativity within the motivation structure of junior athletes and to compare the findings by gender and sport. Methods: The research sample consisted of 90 junior athletes (45 males, 45 females), representing both team sports (volleyball, mini-football, football, and handball) and individual sports (Greco–Roman wrestling, artistic gymnastics, weightlifting, chess, and boxing). The sample was evenly split, with 45 athletes from each group. Junior athletes were trained at sports schools for children and youth in Ukraine, represented junior teams of professional clubs, and participated in national and international tournaments, achieving success in Ukrainian, European, and World championships. The following descriptive frequency characteristics were recorded by age: M = 17.39; SD = ±3.48; Мe = 17.50. Valid and reliable tools, tested in sports studies on junior samples, were applied to establish the parameters of creativity and motivation. Results. A statistically significant superiority of junior female athletes (Group 1) was found in two parameters of motivation: intrinsic motivation (U = 776.50; p = .049) and social status (U = 774.00; p = .046). No superiority was identified in the parameters of creativity. No statistically significant difference was found between the sample of juniors engaging in team sports (Group I) and the sample of juniors engaging in individual sports (Group II). The use of Spearman’s correlation coefficient (rs) allowed us to establish that the parameters of creativity are low-loaded with motivational intentions, and, correspondingly, juniors’ motivation is low-dependent on creativity. The comparison of two groups of the levels of creativity parameters (Group A and Group B) allowed us to identify a superiority in the parameters “extrinsic positive motivation” and “general activeness”, indicating the focus of creativity on the content component of competitive activity. There is a caveat that “comfort” is the most dependent parameter that can have a negative impact on the content component of competitive activity. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that the research into the phenomenon and psychological content parameters of creativity in juniors’ motivation structure is a successful attempt to establish psychological correlations and find statistical differences in their motivation. Operationalization of the obtained results is significant in the context of a local competitive situation. It is recommended that the obtained statistical results and algorithms for establishing psychological correlations and finding differences be considered by subjects in sporting activities who work with junior athletes.Item EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE STRUCTURE OF SELF-CONTROL AMONG JUNIOR ATHLETES(2025) Popovych, I. S.; Danko, D.; Yakovleva, S.; Haponenko, L.; Shcherbyna, O.; Kryzhanovskyi, O.; Hoian, I.; Попович, І. С.The aim of this study is to empirically investigate and theoretically substantiate the role of emotional intelligence (EQ) within the self-control structure of junior athletes. Methods: The sample consisted of 184 junior athletes from both team sports (football and handball) and individual sports (track and field, artistic gymnastics, freestyle wrestling, weightlifting, and boxing). These athletes were students at sports schools for children and youth and were part of professional football and handball clubs competing in the national championship. The descriptive frequency characteristics of the respondents’ ages are as follows: М = 16.96; SD = ±3.37; Мe = 17.00. The parameters of emotional intelligence, volitional control, and subjective control were assessed using psycho-diagnostic tools that were valid, reliable, and specifically adapted for sports samples. Results: The empirical data followed a normal distribution, allowing the use of Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R) to identify fourteen direct correlations and two inverse correlations (p ≤ .050; p ≤ .010; p = .000). It was found that the most dependent parameter of emotional intelligence was “self-control and self-regulation of emotions”, which showed the highest number of correlations (seven) and the strongest associations at significant levels (p ≤ .001; p = .000). The profile of junior athletes’ overall self-control enabled a visual comparison of the key dimensions of self-control. It was explained that the technical component, latent mental resources, and psychological literacy give juniors an advantage at the final stage when all the strong and equal athletes have reached the final competitions. There is a caveat that demonstrating a high level of perseverance does not allow respondents to consider others’ emotions, i. e. the desire to win at any cost blocks the defense mechanisms of emotional intelligence. This is a dangerous and uncontrolled state that borders on the affective state and can have detrimental consequences for junior athletes. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that the research into emotional intelligence in the structure of junior athletes’ volitional control is a successful attempt to establish correlations between the parameters of the examined phenomena applying relevant psycho-diagnostic methodologies, sensitive to critical periods in the formation of a junior athlete’s personality, the development of worldviews, and age-related patterns of psychophysiological processes. There was a caveat that low values of the parameter “self-control of an athlete’s health and disease” can pose a latent danger, especially in team sports, where the absence of key players can have a considerable impact on the tactical organization of the game. It is recommended that the established scientific facts about the dimensions of EQ and the parameters of volitional control be implemented in work with juniors in all learning, training, competitive, and rehabilitative activities.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 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.
