The Comparison of Psychological Characteristics between Korean and Japanese Women Pro-Basketball Players

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objective Korea (ranked 16th) and Japan (ranked 13th) show similar rankings, skills, and performance in basketball. However, the countries differ in size and the number of players in the national women’s basketball system. The current study aimed to compare the psychological factors (anxiety, and temperament and character) and the national teams’ players’ characteristics between 80 Korean (WKBL players) and 76 Japanese (WJBL players) female basketball players in six professional teams each.
Methods All players were asked to complete demographic characteristics including age, career years, position, number of past and presents positions, and clinical scales, including sports anxiety, state anxiety, trait anxiety, and the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). Hierarchical logistic regression analyses among individual factors, physical factors, basketball status, anxiety factors, and temperamental conditions were conducted.
Results In all basketball players, all five models were significantly associated with national team players. The TCI factors were the strongest predictive factors for Korean national team players, while the anxiety factors were the strongest predictive factors for Japanese national team players. WKBL players in all positions showed higher sports anxiety and harm avoidance than WJBL players. WJBL players scored higher on self-directedness and cooperativeness than WKBL players.
Conclusion For predicting national team players, temperament and character were crucial factors in WKBL players where anxiety was the most important one for WJBL players.
