Correlation between the conative characteristics at top senior basketball players.

Conative dimensions play a significant part in a basketball play. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlations between the conative dimensions and characteristics of Croatian elite male senior basketball players. We choose few relevant conative characteristics: hardiness, Big Five factor model, perceived group cohesion, multidimensional perfectionism in sport situations, one-dimensional perfectionism. We have examined the purposeful sample of 74 basketball players, who played in 9 teams of A-1 Croatian Men's Basketball League, with the corresponding measuring instruments. The main finding of this research is that there are statistically significant and positive correlations between some conative characteristics (perfectionism and hardiness, as same as between hardiness and Big Five personality characteristics). However, perceived group cohesion was not significantly associated with any of these constructs.
