Keywords:
Personality Traits, Taekwondo, Kyorugi, Poomsae, Sports PsychologyAbstract
Although personality characteristics in martial arts can vary based on the number of competitions, the identification of personality differences between Kyorugi and Poomsae taekwondo athletes is still lacking. This study aims to analyze these differences across various dimensions: achievement and competitiveness; self-confidence and resilience; interaction and sportsmanship; and aggressiveness and strength. Using a quantitative survey approach, this study was conducted at Dojang Tanders Academy, Pekalongan City. Through a total sampling, 16 high-class athletes (11 Kyorugi and 5 Poomsae) participated in this study. Data were collected using the SPQ 20 questionnaire and analyzed through SPSS descriptive exploration based on SPQ 20 norms. The instrument demonstrated acceptable reliability, with internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha) for raw scores and SEms ranging from 0.6 to 0.8 (median = 0.72). The results showed significant personality differences between Kyorugi and Poomsae athletes in 16 SPQ 20 indicators, while 1 indicator showed no difference. This study concludes that Kyorugi and Poomsae taekwondo athletes have distinct personality profiles. Therefore, these empirical insights can be utilized by coaches to implement specific and differentiated psychological treatments for athletes based on their specific competition events.
