Abstract

Pozitivni aspekti buduće vremenske perspektive uključuju nadu i planiranje, a negativni su anksioznost i briga. Visoka anksioznost prema budućnosti rezultira mračnim pogledom na budućnost i nepoduzimanjem preventivnih akcija. Cilj ovog online istraživanja bio je ispitati razlike između sportaša i nesportaša u razini anksioznosti prema budućnosti te ispitati efekt osobina ličnosti na tu vezu. Istraživanje je provedeno u lipnju i srpnju 2020. na 288 ispitanika: 68 sportaša natjecatelja i 220 nesportaša, od kojih je 100 bivših natjecatelja. Za procjenu osobina ličnosti korištena je skala IPIP 50, a za procjenu razine anksioznosti prema budućnosti Skala Mračne Budućnosti; skraćena verzija upitnika Future Anxiety Scale. Rezultati su pokazali da sportaši natjecatelji imaju niže rezultate anksioznosti prema budućnosti od nesportaša te da je emocionalna stabilnost medijator u odnosu sportske aktivnosti i razine anksioznosti prema budućnosti. Sportaši i nesportaši razlikovali su se u razinama emocionalne stabilnosti - sportaši su postizali više razine. Rezultati pokazuju i negativnu povezanost razine anksioznosti prema budućnosti s razinom natjecanja te pozitivnu povezanost anksioznosti prema budućnosti s porastom dobi. Nisu dobivene rodne razlike u razini anksioznosti prema budućnosti, niti razlike s obzirom na učestalost tjelesne aktivnosti.

Abstract (english)

Positive aspects of future time orientation include hope and planning, and a negative view is filled with anxiety and worry. High future anxiety results in bleak future scenarios and failure to take preventive action. The aim of this online research was to examine the future anxiety level differences between athletes and non-athletes, as well as to examine the effect of personality traits on that relationship. The study was conducted in June and July of 2020, on 288 participants: 68 competitive athletes and 220 non-athletes, of whom 100 were former athlete competitors. The IPIP 50 scale was used to measure personality traits, and the Dark Future Scale was used to measure future anxiety levels. The results showed that active athlete competitors had lower future anxiety scores than non-athletes and that emotional stability moderated the relationship of sport activity and future anxiety. A difference was shown in emotional stability between athletes and non-athletes, where higher levels were found in the group of athletes. The results show a negative relationship between the level of future anxiety and the level of sport competition, as well as a positive association with age increase. No gender differences in the level of future anxiety were obtained, nor were there differences in levels of future anxiety with respect to the frequency of physical activity.
