Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the association between personality traits and competitive anxiety among professional soccer players and amateur soccer players (n=78), whose ages ranged from 17 to 21 years.  Personality traits were defined using the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (translated and adapted version). Participants completed the Sport Competition Anxiety Test by Martens to assess their state of anxiety. The study revealed the dominance of sanguine and choleric temperament, corresponding to extraversion in the representatives of both groups. A one-way ANOVA demonstrated a statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.03) between the competitive anxieties of the two groups. The results of the stepwise linear regression analysis demonstrated a statistically significant relationship (p ≤ 0.0001) between competitive anxiety and both psychoticism and neuroticism among professional soccer players. According to the results, psychoticism and neuroticism predict the formation of competitive anxiety in professional soccer players. In soccer, the level of competition causes personality differences by psychoticism and neuroticism, however, extraversion is the factor of pre-existing differences, which draw any players into a team sport. Coaches should spend more time on competitive games among youth players because it can help to adapt the autonomic nervous system and reduce excessive levels of anxiety.

职业足球运动员的心理特征及其与业余足球运动员的比较
本研究的目的是测试年龄在17-21岁之间的职业足球运动员和业余足球运动员(n=78)的人格特征与竞争焦虑之间的关系。使用艾森克人格问卷(翻译和改编版)对人格特征进行定义。参与者完成了马滕斯的体育比赛焦虑测试,以评估他们的焦虑状态。这项研究揭示了多血和胆汁性气质的主导地位,对应于两组代表的外向性。单因素方差分析显示,两组的竞争焦虑之间存在统计学显著差异(p≤0.03)。逐步线性回归分析的结果表明,职业足球运动员的竞争焦虑与精神质和神经质之间存在统计学显著关系(p≤0.0001)。结果表明,精神质和神经质可预测职业足球运动员竞争焦虑的形成。在足球比赛中,比赛水平通过精神质和神经质导致性格差异,然而,外向性是预先存在的差异的因素,这会吸引任何球员参加团队运动。教练应该花更多的时间在青少年球员的竞技比赛上,因为这有助于适应自主神经系统,减少过度的焦虑。
