Use of the short-term goal-setting method for athetes with regard to their personality traits
Nezdoba, Jakub ; Šírová, Eva (advisor) ; Šípek, Jiří (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the possibilities of predicting success in athletes in the short- term, process-oriented goal-setting method using the NEO-FFI inventory. The first part of the thesis describes the five-factor model of personality and the possibilities of its psychodiagnostics' measurement. The second part of the thesis describes the mechanisms of the goal-setting method with rules and procedures for its effective application. The method of goal-setting is then connected in theory as well as research with a five-factor personality model using a correlation study in real conditions. The research sample consisted of 316 performance ice-hockey players aged 15 to 19 years. These players underwent the goal- setting method and the personality traits measurement using NEO-FFI. The strongest predictor of success found using the goal-setting method was the size of the selected goal. Of the personality traits, it was merely a trait extraversion, which, however, provided a relatively weak prediction option.
Self-efficacy in competitive athletes and its possible development through short-term goal setting
Nezdoba, Jakub ; Šírová, Eva (advisor) ; Veselá, Michaela (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on method of short-term goal-setting and its possible application for self-efficacy development in athletes. The first part is devoted to the description of goal-setting mechanics, rules and procedures for its effective usage in sport. In the second part the concept of self-efficacy with specific focus on professional athletes is described. Possible ways of athletes' self-efficacy development is also included. In the third part goal-setting method is combined with the self-efficacy concept in sport. The existing scientific research in this field suggests positive effects of goal-setting on self-efficacy development in athletes. Thesis continues by proposing a natural experiment. The main purpose of this experiment is to examine effects of process-oriented short-term goal-setting on self-efficacy development in professional adolescent swimmers.
