초록

This study attempted to examine the construct of positive psychological capital against athletes. For this, a focus group interview was conducted with 18 athletes from both individual and team sports such as golf, basketball, badminton, bowling, shooting, squash, snowboarding, baseball, football and tennis. Then, the results were analyzed through inductive content analysis. According to the analysis, 6 components were derived from a total of 519 raw data and divided under six different topics. Among the six topics, ‘psychological skill’ revealed the highest frequency with 141 data (27.36%), followed by ‘hope’ (81, 15.61), ‘resiliency’ (79, 15.22%), ‘optimism’ (74, 14.26%), ‘mental strength’ (70, 14.07%) and ‘self-efficacy’ (70, 13.49%). Therefore, two factors (mental strength, psychological skill) including four sub-components were newly obtained. As a result, a total of 6 factors (self-efficacy, optimism, hope, resiliency, mental strength, psychological skill) were acquired. In other words, this study secured meaningful data with which a new concept of athletes’ positive psychological capital can be examined as a qualitative research method.
