| Summary: | Emotion is one of the important components of total human functioning which can
influence the athlete's performance. The Individual Zone of Optimal Functioning
(IZOF) model (Hanin, 2000) holds that athlete's performance related emotion are
unique and therefore interventions should be individually designed. The aim of the
present study was to examine the idiosyncratic nature of emotion content and
intensity among athletes and to find out if the emotion intensity for the athlete is
significantly different among individuals playing in similar and different positions.
Participants consisted of 23 football athletes aged 21-30 years, who represent
Kelantan state at the competitive level. Findings lent support that each athlete .
within a team has individual emotion content and intensity, which are unique and
different from one another. The trend of the result showed significant differences
(p<O. 05) between athletes playing in similar position and executing similar task,
implying idiosyncratic nature of emotion intensity. No significant differences
(p>0.05) were observed in emotion intensity, among athletes, playing in different
positions. However, an exception in the case of positive-optimal (P+) emotion was
noted. The patterns of emotion intensities reflected that the emotion profiles had
specific shape, typical for best (iceberg shape) and worst (cavity shape)
performance. Roughly designed optimal zones were made for each athlete so as to
help the coach and psychologist in emotion regulation, as part of psychological
assistance. |
