목적: 이 연구는 중학교 농구선수들의 성격과 창의성의 관계에서 정서지능의 매개효과를 검증하는데 그 목적이 있다. 방법: 대한민국농구협회에 등록된 전국 5개 지역의 142명의 중학교 농구선수를 대상으로 SPSS 24.0 버전을 사용하여 상관분석과 단계적 회귀분석, Baron과 Kenny(1986)의 3단계 매개효과 과정으로 위계적 회귀분석 통하여 매개효과 검증을 실시하였다. 결과: 상관분석결과, 창의성의 동기태도는 성격의 정서적불안정성을 제외한 모든 요인과 정적인 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 회귀분석결과, 창의성의 동기태도는 성격의 외향개방성과 정적인 영향, 능력태도는 외향개방성과 성실성에서 정적인 영향을 보이는 것으로 확인되었고, 매개분석결과, 정서지능의 자기타인조절 및 활용과 감정이입-자기조절활용은 성격의 외향개방성과 완전매개효과를 보이는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론: 결론적으로 중학교 농구선수들의 성격유형은 정서지능을 통해서도 창의성 향상 가능성을 예측할 수 있다는 의미 있는 결과를 나타냈다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to concretely verify a hypothesis that the personality would have effects on the creativity through emotional intelligence, in order to suggest the future direction for the improvement of middle school basketball players. Methods: Targeting 142 middle school basketball players of five regions in the whole nation registered in Korea Basketball Association, with the use of SPSS 24.0 version, the mediating effects were verified through correlation analysis, stepwise regression analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis based on the 3-step mediating effect process by Baron and Kenny(1986). Results: In the results of correlation analysis, the motivational attitude of creativity had positive correlations with all the factors except for the emotional instability of personality. In the results of regression analysis, the motivational attitude of creativity had positive effects on the extroverted openness of personality while the ability attitude had positive effects on the extroverted openness and sincerity. The emotional intelligence had positive effects on the extroverted openness of personality, and the control/utilization of self and others showed the positive effects on the sincerity and the negative effects on the emotional instability.
