Sažetak
The sample for this study involved 761 healthy male subjects aged 19 to 27, objectively literate and possessing a good knowledge of either Croato-Serbian to Serbo-Croatian. Among the subjects there was a certain proportion of those that do not engage in sports and those who go in for the sports which 0.9% Yugoslavs of his age and sex engage in. The sample was tested by means of six instruments for the assessment of basic conative dimensions. The first and only significant discriminative function of the sports in the space of conative characteristics, significant on the level of error of type I (0.05), was defined by disregulation of organic functions and somewhat higher activity level on one pole, as well as by disorders in defensive reactions and homeostatic disregulation on the other pole. On the conversive pole of this disciminative functions, the greatest average values were achieved by the shooters, volleyballers handballers, whereas on the anxiety-dissociative pole were the bicyclists, judoists and table tennis players. Most of the other categories of subjects were located around the origin of the discirminative variable, particularly the non-sportists, footballers and basketballers. Three alternative interpretations are proposed for this configuration of sportists from different sports disciplines on the discriminative variable:
- the assumption concerning the effect of the level of stability in physical functioning on the type of sport,
- the assumption concerning the differential effect of individual conative systems on various sports disciplines, and of different sports disciplines on the discriminative function.
However, since the canonic correlation between the conative dimensions and the type of sport was very low (0.236), it is generally possible to conclude that the differential effect of the structure of conative dimensions on the processes of orientation and selection of the sport studied, was rather weak.
Since it is not very likely that the personality structure is irrelevant in selecting a sport, this result also signifies that in the selection of a sport our people do not respect the principle of congruency between the structure of conative characteristics and the features of sports activities, harming thus the sport as well as the sportists.
