Abstract

Background: Numerous studies rank self-confidence, commitment and goal-setting among the foundation mental skills in athletes, conditioning the development of elite performance and also contributing to achieving first rate results during competition. Their quality is, therefore, essential for top performance. Objective: The goal of this study is a comparison of self-confidence, commitment and goal-setting in Czech athletes performing at different performance levels. The secondary aim is to compare the values gathered in Canadian and Czech populations. Methods: The Czech version of the OMSAT-3* questionnaire was distributed to 241 athletes at regional (n = 63), national (n = 115) and international levels (n = 63). Only the part of the questionnaire focusing on the selected mental skills (3 out of 12 scales) was used. Subsequently, the data were compared with the Canadian population (N = 335) used for standardization of the original questionnaire. Results: The values among Czech athletes manifest that the differences in mean values is statistically significant in all mental skills (goal-setting p = .03, self-confidence p < .01, commitment p = .03). Differences among groups dependent on the current level of performance are significantly higher in goal-setting (p = .05, d = 0.46) self-confidence (p < .01, d = 0.63), and commitment (p < .01, d = 0.55) of athletes at international level compared to regional level and in self-confidence (p < .01, d = 0.46) and commitment (p < .01, d = 0.49) of athletes at national level compared to regional level. There is no significant difference among national and international athletes. Canadian respondents show statistically significant higher mean values than Czech athletes in all selected mental skills. Conclusions: The level of self-confidence, goal-setting, and commitment in Czech athletes differs according to performance level. Czech athletes show lower values in all mental skills considered compared to the Canadian sample.

捷克运动员在不同表现水平上的自信、承诺和目标设定
背景:许多研究将自信、承诺和目标设定列为运动员的基础心理技能,这些技能制约了精英表现的发展,也有助于在比赛中取得一流的成绩。因此,它们的质量对于最高性能至关重要。目的:本研究的目的是比较捷克运动员在不同表现水平下的自信、承诺和目标设定。第二个目的是比较在加拿大和捷克人口中收集的数值。方法:将捷克版OMSAT-3*问卷分发给241名地区(n=63)、国家(n=115)和国际(n=63。只使用了问卷中关注所选心理技能的部分(12个量表中的3个)。随后,将数据与用于原始问卷标准化的加拿大人口(N=335)进行比较。结果:捷克运动员的平均值表明,在所有心理技能方面的平均值差异具有统计学意义(目标设定p=.03,自信p<.01,承诺p=0.03)。依赖于当前表现水平的组之间的差异在目标设定(p=.05,d=0.46)、自信心(p<.01、d=0.63)、,国际级运动员与地区级运动员的自信心(p<0.01,d=0.46)和承诺(p<0.01,d=0.49)。国内和国际运动员之间没有显著差异。在所有选定的心理技能方面,加拿大受访者的平均值均高于捷克运动员。结论:捷克运动员的自信心、目标设定和承诺水平因表现水平而异。与加拿大样本相比,捷克运动员在所有心理技能方面的得分都较低。
