Sažetak
On the basis of selection of conative characteristics
that are potentially significant for success in a large
number of kinesiologic activities, the relations between
chosen theoretic constructs that describe the personality
of bowling players and variables that describe the success
in bowling championship have been ascertained. In other
words, conative characteristics potentially important for
success in bowling are correlated with the success in
bowling competition. Significant correlation between
conative characteristics and success in bowling was
hypothesized.
Population from which the intentional sample is
chosen is initially selected narrow circle of candidates for
the Croatian junior team (N=24; 11 female and 13 male
bowling players, aged from 15 to 23).They were
examined with instruments that measure constructs of
hardiness, perfectionism, locus of control, motivation for
achievement, aggressiveness, goal orientation and
competitive anxiety. Results have shown that there are
certain significant correlations between conative
characteristics and sport success, on the basis of which it is
possible to suggest the procedures for a differentiated
psychological approach to individuals, during training
period. A relatively small number of significant
correlations, can be explained with similarity of conative
characteristics of the elite bowling players. The
hypothesis could be only partially confirmed.
