The main aims of the study were: to explore the latent structure of the construct of hardiness at Croatian top basketball players and to gain an understanding of the relationship between obtained hardiness dimensions and situation-related efficacy in basketball. Situation efficacy of individual basketball players in top teams is linked to the constellation of a number of relevant anthropological and specific psychological features that influence the behavior of basketball players in stressful situations during training, and especially during basketball games. One of the most important psychological characteristics for the resistance of an individual to these kinds of stress is hardiness. In the research is used a Short Hardiness Scale (SHS), which is metrically adapted to the sample of Croatian top basketball players. The questionnaire was applied to a group of 107 top basketball players, independently in all nine A-1 Croatian basketball league teams. The correlations of the hardiness dimensions with the standard and derived parameters of basketball players' situation efficacy are established, as well as with log variables. The analysis of instrument latent structure for hardiness measurement indicates the existence of two dimensions characteristic for the Croatian sample of top basketball players, which could be interpreted as a challenge and a control - commitment. A relatively small percentage of the explained variance (about 40%) suggests the possibility of defining the concept of hardiness specific for basketball situations. Low but statistically significant positive correlations were found between the dimension of control - commitment and a larger number of standard and derived parameters of situation efficacy. Statistically significant correlations between the dimension of challenge and the situation efficacy parameters or log variables are not found. This study has the main importance in cultural adjustment of hardiness to Croatian top basketball players, providing additional information about the relationship of hardiness and situation-related efficacy in basketball.
探索克罗地亚顶级篮球运动员心理韧性结构的潜在结构，并了解所获得的心理韧性维度与篮球比赛中情境相关效能之间的关系。顶级球队中个体篮球运动员的情境效能与许多相关的人类学和特定心理特征的组合有关，这些特征会影响篮球运动员在训练期间，尤其是篮球比赛的压力情境中的行为。个体抵御这类压力的最重要心理特征之一就是心理韧性。本研究使用了一个简短心理韧性量表（SHS），该量表在计量上适用于克罗地亚顶级篮球运动员样本。问卷被应用于一组107名顶级篮球运动员，他们分别来自克罗地亚篮球甲级联赛的所有九支球队。建立了心理韧性维度与篮球运动员情境效能的标准和派生参数以及对数变量之间的相关性。对心理韧性测量工具潜在结构的分析表明，克罗地亚顶级篮球运动员样本存在两个特征维度，可解释为挑战和控制 - 投入。相对较小比例的解释方差（约40%）表明有可能定义特定于篮球情境的心理韧性概念。在控制 - 投入维度与大量情境效能的标准和派生参数之间发现了低但具有统计学意义的正相关。未发现挑战维度与情境效能参数或对数变量之间存在统计学意义的相关性。这项研究对于心理韧性在克罗地亚顶级篮球运动员中的文化适应性具有重要意义，提供了有关心理韧性与篮球比赛中情境相关效能之间关系的更多信息。
