Abstract.Purpose: The present study was conducted to examine the flow state in basketball performance. Materials: The investigator had selected Forty Five (N=45) female basketball players of 19 to 25 years of age to act as subjects. They were divided into three groups; (i.e., N1=15; District, N2=15; State and N3=15 National). The purposive sampling technique was used to select the subjects. All the subjects, after having been informed about the objective and protocol of the study, gave their consent and volunteered to participate in this study. Statistical Analyses: To measure the level of dispositional flow state of the subjects, the flow state battery constructed by Jackson & Eklund (2004) was administered. One way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to find out the intra-group differences. Where F values were found significant, LSD (Least Significant Difference) Post-hoc test was applied to find out the direction and degree of difference. For testing the hypotheses, the level of significance was set at 0.05.
Results & Conclusion:The results revealed no significant differences were found among female basketball players on the sub-variables of Dispositional Flow Scale-2 i.e
The present study was aimed to indentify the role of Sport Imagery in performance of basketball players. For this purpose, sixty female basketball players of 19 to 25 years of age were selected. They were divided into three groups; (i.e., N 1 =20; District, N 2 =20; State and N 3 =10 National). To determine level of Sport Imagery among subjects, Sport Imagery Questionnaire, constructed by Hall et al. (1998) was administered. One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to compare the three groups of basketball. For testing the hypotheses, the level of significance was set at 0.05. Conculdingly from the findings that we can say that significant differences were found among female basketball players (District, State and National) on the sub-variables of Sport Imagery.
<p>The present study was aimed to indentify the mental toughness and emotional maturity among basketball players. For this purpose, sixty female basketball players of 20 to 25 years of age were selected. They were further divided into three groups; (i.e., N<sub>1</sub>=20; District, N<sub>2</sub>=20; State and N<sub>3</sub>=20 National). To determine level of Mental Toughness among subjects, Mental Toughness, constructed by Goldberg et al. (1998) was administered. To determine level of Emotional Maturity among subjects, Emotional Maturity Scale constructed by Singh and Bhargava’s (1988) was administered. One way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to find out the intra-group differences. The findings show that no significant differences were found among female basketball players on the sub-variables of Mental Toughness. Conculdingly from the above findings that insignificant differences were present among female basketball players on the sub-variables of Emotional Maturity.</p>
