본 연구의 목적은 MBTI를 활용하여 구성한 심리기술훈련 프로그램을 양궁 선수들에게 적용하였을 때 1) 자신 및 다른 선수의 성격을 보다 더 잘 이해할 수가 있는지; 2) 양궁 경기력 향상에 가장 중요한 심리적 요인인 경쟁 상태불안을 낮춰줄 수 있는 지; 그리고 그 결과로 3) 기록이 개선되는지를 알아보는 것이었다. 양궁 남녀 대표 선수 16명에게 심리유형검사를 실시하고 그 결과를 토대로 각 선수에게 적합하다고 판단된 심리기술훈련 프로그램을 개인별로 구성하여 적용하였다. 프로그램 실시 전후의 연습시합 기록과 경쟁 상태불안 검사지의 점수를 비교 분석한 결과 경기 기록은 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았으나 향상을 보였고 이것은 여자선수들에게서 더 큰 폭으로 나타났다. 선수들의 신체적 상태불안 점수는 별로 감소하지 않았으나 인지적 상태불안 점수는 유의하게 감소하였다. 또한 선수들은 MBTI 성장 프로그램이 자신과 다른 선수를 이해하는데 많은 도움이 되었다고 보고하여 MBTI가 스포츠 분야에도 활용될 수 있다는 가능성을 제시하였다.
The purposes of this study were: If the psychological skills training program employing MBTI is administered for 3 months to Korean elite archers, then whehter or not 1) MBTI is useful for elite archers to understand themselves and others as well; 2) MBTI could help reduce archers` competition anxiety, an important factor in archery performance; and 3) archery performance could be enhanced as a result. Sixteen archers in both sexes(8 archers respectively) served as subjects. MBTI G-form was administered to the subjects and scored. Based upon the personality type, the individualized psychological skills training program was made for each archer in order to let the archer gain rational cognitive structuring. Performance score in 70m distance and competition anxiety scores in CSAI-2 were measured before and after the treatment and analyzed. Results showed that: 1) performance score was enhanced but was not significantly different. Female archers showed better improvement than male archers. Although the score in somatic anxiety was not reduced much, that in cognitive anxiety was significantly reduced(p$lt;.001). All archers were satisfied with the program and their best feeling was the fact that they became to know themselves better than before due to MBTI applications. Also they wanted to have continuous service delivery. These results, in conclusion, imply that MBTI could be helpful device in sports especially when it is properly used in the psychological skills training program for the performance enhancement of elite archers.
