Women's football has been far less studied than men's. This work's objectives were to: (1) analyze the differences in psychological skills, mental toughness (MT), and anxiety in women football players according to their level (national team, first division, and second division); and (2) predict those three levels (using a multivariate model) according to the players' psychological skills, mental toughness, and anxiety. One hundred and forty-two Icelandic women football players (23.5 ± 3.5 years) participated in the study. They were classified into three groups according to their level: national team, and first and second divisions. Three questionnaires were used: the Test of Performance Strategies Questionnaire, the Sport Mental Toughness Questionnaire, and the Sport Anxiety Scale-2 questionnaire. A one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc correction was used to examine differences between teams. Applying a classification tree analysis, the participants were classified into three groups according to their level. There were few differences between the three groups in psychological skills, but in mental toughness and anxiety the national team had the highest and lowest values respectively, and the first and second division players differed in relaxation in competition (TOPS), total score and confidence (SMTQ), and worry (SAS-2). The classification tree correctly classified 54.9% of the sample with the variables total score (SMTQ) and activation in practice (TOPS). Therefore, given the relevance that psychological attributes appear to have for women football players' performance, it would seem indispensable to incorporate the figure of the sports psychologist into national and club teams.
女子足球的研究远少于男子足球。本研究的目的是:(1)根据球员的水平(国家队、甲级和乙级)分析女子足球运动员在心理技能、心理韧性(MT)和焦虑方面的差异;(2)根据球员的心理技能、心理韧性和焦虑预测这三个水平(使用多元模型)。142 名冰岛女子足球运动员(23.5±3.5 岁)参加了这项研究。根据她们的水平,她们被分为三组:国家队和甲级和乙级。使用了三份问卷:运动表现策略测试问卷、运动心理韧性问卷和运动焦虑量表-2 问卷。采用单向方差分析和 Bonferroni 事后检验来检查团队之间的差异。应用分类树分析,根据水平将参与者分为三组。在心理技能方面,三个组之间的差异很小,但在心理韧性和焦虑方面,国家队的得分最高,乙级球员的得分最低,甲级和乙级球员在比赛中的放松(TOPS)、总分和信心(SMTQ)以及担忧(SAS-2)方面存在差异。分类树正确地将 54.9%的样本进行了分类,变量是总分(SMTQ)和实践中的激活(TOPS)。因此,鉴于心理属性似乎对女子足球运动员的表现有重要影响,似乎有必要让运动心理学家加入国家队和俱乐部球队。
