Abstract

Motivation occupies a leading place in the personality structure and plays a key role in athletes achieving high results. Thanks to her, athletes overcome difficulties and meet the high demands placed on them. The motivation of an athlete is determined by needs, goals, worldview, personality orientation and personal characteristics. For this reason, motivation to play sports is the most important factor reflecting interest and conscious attitude towards sports. In his research, R.A. Piloyan identifies a weakening of motivation as one of the main reasons for athletes to stop training.

Achievement motivation is of particular interest because athletes' high performance is closely related to it. The authors note that the motivation to achieve success in highly qualified athletes is more pronounced than the motivation to avoid failure. To form athletes' achievement motivation, it is important to study the factors contributing to its formation. Based on the above, the purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between personality traits and motivation for athletic activity in young men.

The following questionnaires were used as research methods: S.A. Shapkin's achievement motivation questionnaire; A.V. Shaboltas' Motives for Sports questionnaire; and the five-factor personality questionnaire (adapted by A.B. Khromov).

The T-criterion and the statistical data processing software package "SPSS" were used for data processing.

The results show that athletes who are motivated by achievement have personality traits such as activity, dominance, sociability, the ability to cooperate, respect for others, as well as a sense of responsibility and perseverance.

In addition, it was found that achievement motivation is related to the desire to receive emotional satisfaction from playing sports. This suggests that the joy of physical exercise and sporting events can stimulate athletes to achieve their goals.
