Abstract. A sample of 180 junior female Croatian volleyball players and younger took part in the measurement of their psychological skills, performed by applying the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 (ACSI-28). Regarding team ranking in the competition and player quality within the team, all the participants were divided into 5 groups of different situational efficacy. In order to determine the differences in the level of psychological coping skills between the groups of players, a one-way ANOVA and discriminant analysis were performed. It was determined that the most successful players had the strongest self-confidence and motivation, and that they were additionally characterized by the ability of good performance under pressure. The least successful players were characterized by constant worry about performing poorly or making mistakes, and concern with what other people would think about them if they do happen to make a mistake.
Key words: ACSI-28, ANOVA, discriminant analysis, youth and junior players
POVEZANOST VEŠTINA SUOČAVANJA I TAKMIČARSKE USPEŠNOSTI MLADIH ODBOJKAŠICA
Na uzorku od 180 hrvatskih odbojkašica kadetkinja i juniorki provedeno je merenje psiholoških veština primenom upitnika Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 (ACSI-28). Obzirom na plasman ekipa na takmičenju i kvalitetu igračica u ekipi, sve ispitanice su podeljene u 5 grupa različite takmičarske uspešnosti. S ciljem utvrđivanja razlika u nivou psiholoških veština suočavanja između grupa odbojkašica provedena je univarijatna analiza varijanse i diskriminaciona analiza. Utvrđeno je da najuspešnije igračice imaju najviše izraženo samopouzdanje i motivaciju, te da ih dodatno karakteriše sposobnost dobrog izvođenja pod pritiskom. Najmanje uspešne igračice karakteriše izražena zabrinutost da će loše odigrati i da će raditi greške, kao i briga o tome šta će drugi ljudi da misle o njima ako budu radili greške. Zaključno, ACSI-28 se može preporučiti kao kratka orentaciona mera za procenu veština suočavanja mladih odbojkašica. Potrebna su daljnja istraživanja s ciljem utvrđivanja uzročno-posledičnih odnosa između veština suočavanja i sportskog uspeha.
