Abstract

VIEIRA, José Luiz Lopes; VIEIRA, Lenamar Fiorese; FERRAZ, Christiane de Cássia  and  DE OLIVEIRA, Leonardo Pestillo. Autoconceito e esporte: uma análise no contexto competitivo de rendimento. Psicol. Am. Lat. [online]. 2010, n.19. ISSN 1870-350X.

This research aimed to investigate the valuation of self concept in volleyball teams. As participants, 31 volleyball high performance athletes adults and youths from both gender categories were investigated. As measure instrument the Factorial Scale of Self Concept was used. For the data analysis were used: the Kruskall Wallis test and MANOVA. All teams behaved similarly according to self concept factors, evidencing statistically significant difference only for safety factor between the youth teams. The ethical-moral factor presented high levels of valuation in relation to other factors, being statistically higher in the female and male youth teams. In the adult male team, this factor was higher than the somatic, receptivity and social attitude factors. The feeling of belonging to a socially valued group, seems to be the main aspect that makes the athletes perceives themselves as moral citizens. In conclusion there are differences of gender when related to self concept (safety factor) and that the sport seems to favor the morality feeling.
