A comparison of psychological factors between individual and team sports athletes
Author(s): Shahina Sherani and Sophie Titus
Abstract:Sports psychology is the scientific study of the mind, personality, and behaviours as they relate to athletic accomplishment and strength training. Because the mental constraints of severe competition might be tremendous, it isn't a crucial part of every athlete's training programme. Psychosocial considerations have a significant impact on athletes' success and well-being. Athletes, especially when they think they are not doing well or attaining their full potential, require positive support from teammates, coaches, parents, and friends. Social assistance is a multifaceted notion that includes a large variety of prospective suppliers as well as various sorts. Emotional support, practical support, informational support, and confidence support are all examples of supportive social behaviours. On the other side, social integration refers to the structure and quantity of social ties, such as network size and density, as well as the subjective impression of embeddedness. In recent years, various research have been undertaken on the association between chosen psychological characteristics among individual and group sports participants. However, there is a research gap, thus we're doing this study exclusively at the state level to achieve the study's goals. As a consequence, 600 women, ranging in age from 17 to 22, will be chosen using a stratified random selection approach from various individual and team sports. The researcher will select 300 athletes from team sports and 300 players from individual sports. The total number of competitors in Inter Collegiate competitions over the last five years determines the sample size.
