Abstract

Assessment of psychological profiles of volleyball players of different age levels with regard to mental strength. For the present study, a total of 150 male volleyball players were selected as the subject of study in competitions at different age levels with regard to mental toughness, keeping in mind the aspect of feasibility. The variable of mental toughness was selected for the purpose of this study. The mean score and standard deviation of volleyball players at different age competitions regarding mental toughness i.e. Sub Junior, Junior and Senior were calculated. One –way analysis of variance was applied to determine the significance of the mean difference between volleyball players of different age levels. The average score of volleyball players on mental toughness was 19.94. In addition, it was found that one hundred and seven volleyball players (Sb. Jr. 38, Jr. 48, Sr. 21) had low scores, twenty-six volleyball players (Sb. Jr. 12, Jr. 06, Sr. 08) scored on average and seventeen volleyball players (Sb. Jr. 07, Jr. 04, Sr. 6) scored high on mental toughness. A significant difference was found between competing at different age levels with regard to mental toughness. A significant mean difference was found in mental strength between sub-junior and junior; junior and senior who were (77 *, 75.1 *) higher than CD (6.36) at a significance level of 0.05, while a non-significant mean difference was found between sub-juniors and seniors (1.9) which was lower than CD (6.63) at a significance level of 0.05.
