Abstract. The assessment of differences in psychological characteristics between players of different levels of success may contribute to a better understanding of the basketball players' overall situation efficacy. Our research was aimed at ascertaining the differences between extreme groups of top Croatian senior basketball players, with either best or lowest situation efficacy. The final sample of subjects (60 basketball players with the lowest and the highest total situation efficacy) was selected from the initial sample of 107 subjects, basketball players from nine men senior teams from the A-1 Croatian Men Basketball League during the 2006/2007 championship season. The players with the best situation efficacy and those with the lowest situation efficacy cannot be statistically significantly distinguished on the basis of the group of conative characteristics and perceived group cohesion, therefore the research hypothesis has been rejected.
Key words: psychological, cohesion, perfectionism, basketball, differences.
RAZLIKE UKUPNE SITUACIONE EFIKASNOSTI VRHUNSKIH SENIORSKIH KOŠARKAŠA U ODNOSU NA KONATIVNE KARAKTERISTIKE
Otkrivanje razlika u psihološkim karakteristika kod različito uspješnih košarkaša moglo bi doprineti boljem razumevanju ukupne situacione efikasnosti košarkaša. Cilj našeg istraživanja bio je da se utvrde razlike između ekstremnih grupa vrhunskih hrvatskih seniorskih košarkaša, s najboljom odnosno najlošijom situacionom efikasnošću. Finalni uzorak ispitanika (60 košarkaša s najnižom i najvećom ukupnom situacionom efikasnošću) je selekcionisan iz inicijalnog uzorka od 107 ispitanika, košarkaša devet muških seniorskih ekipa A-1 Hrvatske muške košarkaške lige iz prvenstva 2006/2007. Najefikasnije i najmanje situaciono efikasni igrači košarkaških ekipa ne mogu se statistički značajno razlikovati na temelju celog skupa konativnih karakteristika te percipirane grupne kohezije, pa odbacujemo hipotezu istraživanja.
