| Abstract | ||
| Sports psychology is one of the important applied sciences, which always seeks to employ the capabilities and capabilities available to modify the behavior of the player for the better through the ability to control his emotions and the possibility of controlling them to achieve optimal performance. In team or individual games in the face of irritating situations that affect the player's performance during training or competition, As Hassan (2020) confirms, “The player who is characterized by self-control does not show symptoms of fear, confusion, or reluctance when he fails or is defeated” (Hassan, 2020, 4). It is known that martial arts games, specifically kickboxing, are among the games that make those who practice it a player characterized by disciplined sports behavior in line with the rules and regulations of the game, which emphasize moral values and high discipline in the player’s personality, as he points out (Baumeister et al., 2007), “Self-control is the ability to change an individual’s responses to align with agreed-upon standards such as ideals, values, morals, and social rules, and to continue striving towards long-term goals” (Al-Samman, 2022, 98). Self-control is also important for a variety of sports behaviors, including access to superior athletic performance in sports, and obtaining optimal performance comes through controlling cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes (RuthBoat, 2019,13). Perhaps the category of young people who practice kickboxing is more in need of controlling their emotions compared to the advanced players, whether in training or sports competitions, as a result of the pressure placed on them during the fight and the provocative situations that young players are exposed to from their competitors. In this regard, the player must control his emotions and behavior, because any attempt To respond by the player to his opponent with any unwanted behavior outside the rules and laws of the game, may deduct points from the player or be excluded from the match or from the competition as a result of losing control of himself. The research problem was challenged in that martial arts players in general, and kickboxing players in particular, are exposed when performing during official outings to many situations that provoke feelings of anger, which makes players need the ability to control themselves and the ability to control their emotions and limit as much as possible the emergence of hostile behavior towards The competitor player, taking into account the specificity of the effectiveness of kickboxing, which depends on friction or direct physical contact during the fight. One of the researchers believes, through his field practice in the field of the game, that young kickboxing players may be affected in one way or another by the vengeful or angry thoughts that revolve in their minds towards the competing players, which results in uncontrollable hostile behavior that makes them quickly lose match points and thus lose the match. Therefore, the need in the current research called for the importance of studying self-control, which undoubtedly positively affects the behavioral aspect of the players and the extent of its reflection on performance in obtaining positive results in sports competitions, specifically young kickboxing players in the sports clubs of the Kurdistan region of Iraq. A new measurement tool in self-control and the possibility of its application in the mathematical field, and thus it is a scientific addition to the mathematical library. The research aims to: Construct a scale of self-control for young kickboxing in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. | ||
