Abstract:

The urgency of the research is in the fact that a modern person has a distinct need for the opportunity to demonstrate personal self-realization and subjective activity. The aim of the research work is to realize comparative analysis of self-attitude among athletes, who go in for athletic kinds of sport and fighting (martial) arts. Materials and Research methods. 76 people took part in the research work: students-athletes and people, who go in for fighting combats, who were divided into two groups: control group (CG, n=41) and the main group (MG, n=35). Results. We considered the research results according to some kinds of scales. Scale I: openness- closedness. The results of statistic hypothesis check concerning the independence of the features (the level of psychological “openness” and sports specialization) proved that the differences between the results of two groups were statistically valid (р=0,001). Students-athletes showed more open attitude to themselves. Scale II: self-confidence. Statistical hypothesis check about the independence of the features (sports specialization – self-confidence) showed that in results distribution differences have statistically valid character (р=0,05). Conclusion. As a result of the held qualitative analysis of athletes’ answers we described psychological content of different aspects of self-attitude. If we consider the parameter of self-confidence in the group of athletes, in terms of self-estimation (according to the frequency of affirmative answers) the first place they gave to reliability and self-respect and the representatives of fighting combats- the ability to place responsibility on oneself and make decisions in difficult situations. Subordinate factors analysis showed that in the athletes, who go in for fighting combats, prevails productive structure of self-attitude. Thus, this group is characterized by high indices of self-respect. The basis of it form high self-estimation of athletes according to socially important criteria. If we speak about low indices of “self-destruction”, taking into account that they are received in terms of high argumentation, we can mention that they prove psychological correspondence between different aspects of outer and inner life of athletes, who go in for fighting combats.
