본 연구의 대상은 배드민턴 선수 190명이다(남=107, 여=83). 이들 선수들은 실업팀과 대학팀 소속으로 평균 연령은 남자가 21.86(sd=3.37)세, 여자는 21.84(sd=2.36)이며, 배드민턴 운동경력은 남자가 11.6(sd=4.28)년, 여자가 11.1(sd=2.64)년이었다. 목표지향성에 따른 심리기술요인의 관계와 영향력을 알아보기 위하여 TEOSQ와 한국형 스포츠심리기술 질문지가 사용되었다. 분석결과 과제와 자아지향 간에 긍정적 관계가 나타났으며, 목표지향성은 성별에 따라, 경기력에 따라서는 차이가 없었다. 따라서 배드민턴 선수들의 목표지향은 동질적이라는 배경하에 각각의 목표지향성이 어떠한 심리적 요인들을 설명할 수 있는지를 예측하기 위하여 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 과제지향으로 설명할 수 있는 심리적 요인은 팀단합, 목표설정, 자신감, 불안조절, 심상능력인 반면, 자아지향으로 설명되는 요인은 목표설정과 불안조절뿐이다. 남자우수선수는 과제 지향성이, 남자비우수 선수는 자아지향성이 목표설정을 설명하고 있었다. 여자비우수 선수들 역시 과제지향성이 목표설정 외에도 불안조절, 심상능력을 설명하고 있다. 이러한 결과는 목표성향이 동질적이라 해도 선수들의 성별이나 경기력 수준에 따라 목표성향이 심리기술에 작용하는 강도가 다르다는 것을 의미한다.
The purpose of this study was to examine these intricacies of the badminton athlete`s goal-orientation followed by whether or not the psychological skills that act on key factors of performance are different. The participants in this study were 190 badminton athletes (men=107, women=83) of college and industry. The average age of the men are 21.86(sd=3.37) and 21.84(sd=2.36) for the women. The years of badminton experience are 11.6 years(sd=4.28) for the men and 11.1 years(sd=2.64) for the women. The results of this study show that there is a positive relationship between the task and ego orientation. These results agree with the results from Duda`s (1992) sports related study in which 205 high school students were the subjects as well as (Guivernau & Duda, 1997)`s study in which elite student athletes from Spain were the subjects of study. This means athletes carry task and ego orientation together. The goal which athletes first aim for is the goal of the task. Goal orientation according to gender is no different from goal orientation according to performance level. Therefor, in order to see what kind of psychological factors goal orientation can explain, a Stepwise regression analysis was done. The psychological factors that can be explained in terms of the goal of the task are team harmony, goal setting, self-confidence, anxiety control, imagery. Among the psychological skills of goal orientaion, the ability to predict goal setting is an expected result. However, the task orientation of elite male athletes explains their goal setting while the ego orientation of non-elite male athletes explains their goal setting. These results show that ego oriented, non-elite male athletes think of goal setting as more important. The task orientation of non elite female athletes explains their goal setting, anxiety control, and imagery.
