The psychological state of female volleyball athletes was obtained in this study. Subjects were 20 university female volleyball players, who were divided into two groups as starter group and bench starter group. Psychological ability was measured by Psychological Condition Inventory (PCI; general vigor, skill efficacy, fight, expected cognition, emotional stability, performance failure anxiety, and fatigue), just before, just after, and a week later after training camp. The obtained data were converted to the T score.
The results were as follows:
1. The bench starter group showed higher T score in performance failure anxiety (p<0.05) and lower T score in general vigor (p<0.01) , skill efficacy (p<0.01) and expected cognition (p<0.05) than the starter group a week later after the training camp.
2. There was significant correlation between emotional stability T score and general vigor T core through the training camp, just before: r=0.736, p<0.05., just after: r=0.869, p<0.01., and a week later: r=0.859, p<0.01 in the starter group only.
3. The bench starter group showed high T score in performance failure anxiety through the training camp. It is considered that the bench starter members who consisted of fresh women in the university cannot correspond to the team circumstance.
By the above mentioned results, the coaches and upper-class students need the indispensable correspondent to new students.
