Lietuvos studentų krepšinio lygos krepšininkų pasitikėjimas savimi ir jo šaltiniai

LT[...] Vis dar nėra vienareikšmiškai atsakyta į klausimą, kokie yra LSKL sportininkų pasitikėjimo šaltiniai, ar skiriasi studentų krepšininkų pasitikėjimo savimi lygis pagal lytį. Šios srities tyrimai yra labai svarbūs, nes naudojantis gautais rezultatais galima ne tik prognozuoti būsimus sportinius rezultatus, bet ir laiku imtis tam tikrų priemonių siekiant juos pagerinti. [...] Tyrimo tikslas - atskleisti Lietuvos studentų krepšinio lygos (LSKL) krepšininkų pasitikėjimo savimi lygį ir pasitikėjimo šaltinius. [...] Buvo ištirti 96 Lietuvos studentų krepšinio lygos krepšininkai: 49 vyrai ir 47 moterys. Respondentų amžius 18-24 metai. Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad 57 proc. krepšininkų ir 38 proc. krepšininkių jaučia didelį pasitikėjimą savimi. Trečdalio krepšininkų (35 proc.) ir krepšininkių (36 proc.) pasitikėjimas savimi yra vidutinis. Pažymėtina, kad 26 proc. krepšininkių ir 8 proc. krepšininkų pasitikėjimas savimi yra mažas. Nustatyta, kad LSKL krepšininkams gebėjimai ir fizinis bei psichologinis parengtumas yra patikimai svarbesni sportinio pasitikėjimo šaltiniai nei LSKL krepšininkėms. Gautus rezultatus pagal metodiką galima interpretuoti taip, kad LSKL krepšininkai labiau atskleidžia savo sportinius gebėjimus, labiau tiki, kad gali įveikti varžovus, labiau nori įrodyti esą pajėgesni nei varžovai. LSKL krepšininkėms patikimai svarbesnis pasitikėjimo šaltinis yra socialinė parama [...]. Paaiškėjo, kad LSKL krepšininkų ir krepšininkių duomenys statistiškai patikimai nesiskyrė, kai buvo vertinami šie pasitikėjimo šaltiniai: meistriškumas, kūno įvaizdis, trenerio vadovavimas, patirtis, jauki aplinka, palankios situacijos.
