Area of Science:

  • Sport Psychology
  • Kinesiology
  • Psychological Assessment

Background:

  • Athletic performance is influenced by psychological factors.
  • Mood states are measurable and can potentially correlate with sports outcomes.
  • Understanding these relationships can inform training and support for athletes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between mood states and volleyball performance.
  • To determine if specific mood dimensions predict athletic statistics in volleyball players.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Profile of Mood States Inventory for mood assessment.
  • Collected final season statistics from 15 collegiate volleyball players.
  • Employed regression analysis to compare mood scores with performance data.

Main Results:

  • A significant positive relationship was observed between Vigor and multiple volleyball statistics.
  • Other mood states did not show significant correlations with the analyzed performance metrics.

Conclusions:

  • Vigor, a key mood state, is demonstrably linked to enhanced volleyball performance.
  • Psychological assessments like the Profile of Mood States Inventory can offer insights into athletic capabilities.
