― Focus on Uchida-Kraepelin Psychodiagnostic Test ―

Abstract

  The connection between psychology and statistics is profound, as research in goal setting and mental health has demonstrated the relevance of goals and commitment. Additionally, psychology has integrated with data science, improving the effectiveness of sandbox therapy through visualization. The widely used psychological assessment method known as the work test has found applications in the field of sports. In a study using the Uchida-Kraepelin test, a representative example of the work test, on a rugby team, no significant differences were observed in the psychological state among regular and non-regular players or among players in different positions. An approach that emphasizes respecting individuality and promotes team diversity was suggested to contribute to performance improvement, alongside sport-specific factors.

 

  The fusion of psychology with statistics and data science provides a comprehensive understanding. Combining statistical methods with psychological assessments enables highly reliable evaluations, leading to sound conclusions in psychological research and clinical practice, and contributing to interdisciplinary development.
