Abstract:
Emotional intelligence study is not developed enough. Emotional intelligence study in sport is closely connected with the specificity of the kinds of sport. Different kinds of sport are full of stress and competitive situations. They provide, on the one hand, high level of emotions self-control development in athletes, on the other hand, the ability of a coach to control emotional state of athletes. The absence of the ability to control emotions leads to destructive behavior in athletes, in particular aggressive behavior during competitive activity. It can lead to negative result during the competitions. In spite of the fact that many works in sports pedagogics and psychology are dedicated to aggressive behavior demonstration in athletes, special attention should be paid to cross-linking component of “emotional intellect” and their interconnection are not studied enough. Materials. Experimental effectiveness check of aggressive behavior prevention methodology in basketball players, based on emotional intelligence development. Research methods. Information sources and scientific-methodical literature analysis, pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment, psychological testing (“Emotional intellect” questionnaire by D.V. Lyusin; methodology of aggression level and its forms determination by A. Buss and A. Durkey; “Conterminous behavior in stress situations” methodology adapted version by T.A. Kryukova), methods of mathematical statistics. Results. The article presents the results of studying the effectiveness of the created methodology use, directed toward basketball players’ emotional intelligence development and aggressive behavior prevention. The created methodology includes 5 modules, directed toward the following: introduction into the problem of emotional intellect; studying “emotions perception, evaluation and expression”; studying “emotions use for thinking and activity effectiveness increase”; studying “emotions understanding and analysis”; studying “deliberate emotions control”. The methodology helped to decrease aggressive behavior of basketball players in competitive activity. Conclusion. The held research reveals that emotional intelligence influences athletes’ aggressive behavior demonstration. It is demonstrated in readiness to express own feelings and positions directly. The research results prove that emotions control is the leading component of emotional intelligence in aggressive behavior demonstration and emotions understanding takes a subordinate role.
