Sažetak
Research in the field of psychology of skiing is scarce, especially in case of recreational alpine skiing. Skiing is generally considered demanding and challenging, so the fear related to new activity and possible injury, and worry about the exogenous factors can become a psychological barrier that prevents successful learning. Furthermore, mentioned factors can reduce motivation to learn and lead to withdrawal from the activity at an early stage. On the other hand, self-efficiency and courage might be helpful in acquisition of new knowledge of alpine skiing. In this research we investigated whether sport courage, worry and fear differ between alpine ski naive and basic level skiers and how they affect alpine ski learning. 337 kinesiology students (249 ski naive and 88 with basic knowledge) participated in the research consisting of a 4- part questionnaire and 10-day structured program of skiing. Males scored higher in Determination, Mastery, Venturesome, Assertiveness and Self- efficiency factors of Sport Courage Scale-31 (all p<0.05), whereas females in Fear (p<0.001). Experienced skiers scored higher in Determination, Mastery, Self-efficiency (all p<0.05), and beginners in Fear (p<0.001). In females, Determination, Mastery and Self- efficiency had a positive correlation with skiing (r=0.21, p<0.05, r=0.28, p<0.01, and r=0.33, p<0.01, respectively), while association between Fear and skiing (r=-0.46, p<0.01) was negative. In males, Self- efficiency was associated with better (r=0.39, p<0.01), and higher Fear was related to poorer performance (r=-0.33, p<0.01). For skiers, lower score in Worry (r=-0.28, p<0.01) and higher in Self-efficiency (r=0.22, p<0.05) were associated with better performance. For beginners, lower Fear (r=-0.30, p<0.01) and higher Self-efficiency (r=0.28, p<0.05) and Mastery (r=0.20, p<0.01) were associated with better performance. For beginners, predictors of performance were Self-efficiency (p=0.004), Worry (p=0.014), and Fear (p=0.043), suggesting that reducing Fear and increasing Self- efficiency and Worry increase the ski performance. For skiers only Worry had a negative prognostic role for performance (p=0.004). For males, predictor of ski success was related to Self- efficiency (p<0.001), while for females Fear (p<0.001) was inversely related to success. Courage, Worry and Fear need to be considered during learning phases of skiing, since they can have effect on success of basic alpine ski school.
