The objective of this study is to analyze the thinking styles of wrestlers. 267 licensed wrestlers participated in the study. “Rational-Experiential Thinking Styles Inventory” developed by Epstein et al. (1996) and adapted into Turkish by Buluş (2003) was used to find out the thinking styles of wrestlers. In statistical analysis of the data, t test was used for independent groups while one way variance analysis was used for the comparison of multiple groups. When the rational thinking style levels of wrestlers were examined in terms of age, no statistical difference was found (p>0.05). When the intuitive thinking style levels of wrestlers were examined in terms of age, it was found that wrestlers between the ages 21 and 27 had higher intuitive thinking style levels than wrestlers between the ages 18 and 20 (p<0.01). No significant difference was found between high school or university students in terms of rational and intuitive thinking styles (p>0.05). It was found that being a national team athlete and sports age did not have an influence on rational or intuitive thinking styles of athletes (p>0.05). As a conclusion, when athletes’ scores from thinking styles were examined, it was found that both thinking styles were used at an intermediate level. It was found that age had an influence on intuitive thinking style, while being in a high school or university student, being in a national team athlete and sports age did not have an influence on thinking styles.

Influence of Different Training Activities on Development of Junior Athletes' Logical ThinkingThe aim of this study is to investigate the influence of different training activities on the development of the logical thinking of junior athletes who specialize in various sports. 131 students-athletes and 77 students-non-athletes aged 17-20 took part in the study. They were divided into two experimental groups (group A and group B) and one control group (group C). Group A included 69 students-athletes who were engaged in speed and power sports (boxing, freestyle wrestling, sprinting, hurdling, jumping, throwing). Group B included 62 students-athletes who were engaged in endurance sports (skiing, cycling, swimming). Group C included 77 students of higher education institutions who did not do sports. The study of the athletes' logical thinking was carried out according to the methodology of "Numerical series". It was found that the student-athletes who were engaged in endurance sports (group B) were registered to have significantly better (р<0.05-0.001) values of all three indicators of logical thinking (number of errors, speed of thinking and general assessment of the state of logical thinking) in comparison with the student-athletes who were engaged in speed and power sports (group A) and students-non-athletes (group C). Moreover, it was established that the students-non-athletes had a significant improvement in the indicators of logical thinking in comparison with the students-athletes who were engaged in speed and power sports (р<0.05-0.001).

The aim of this study was to investigate personality of elite wrestlers and basketball players. Participants were 80 male elite basketball players and 47 elite wrestlers from Serbia. Participants had completed a Cattell's 16PF Questionnaire. Data analysis was done with basic descriptive statistics. Significance of differences between two groups was calculated with t – test in SPSS16 program.

The overall competitive successfulness and the level of sports results of a wrestler depends mainly on his successfulness in performance of the main scoring technique, and every wrestler uses mostly one or two techniques to finish most of the fights. When this is taken into account, the importance of studying main scoring techniques, as well as the early choice and option of the wrestling technique which will suit best to this wrestler, becomes clear. There are different factors affecting the choice of the technique which is most often chosen and most successfully used. Apart from the influence of morphological and motoric characteristics, as well as the influence of the coach to the choice of preferable technique, there are certain psychological characteristics of a competitor which influence the choice of the technique. The aim of this research is to determine the interconnection between psychological characteristics of wrestlers and techniques they prefer in their fights. The res...

Review of Critical Thinking and Fighting Spirit among Athletes2013 •
This paper is written as a conceptual paper where the main purpose is to discuss about the importance of critical thinking and fighting spirit on athlete’s performance. Cognitive approach as one of the famous approaches in psychology concentrates on the important role of mental processes such as processing and remembering new information, developing language, problem solving, and thinking. Moreover, critical thinking specifically emphasises on some cognitive processes which attempt to minimize the influence of preconceptions and biases while rationally assessing evidence and signs, concluding on the base of interpretation of evidences and signs, and concerning alternative explanations. On the other hand, fighting spirit refers to the internal motivation due to enhance the athletes’ performance through the sport competition. The authors explain the definitions of cognitive approach, critical thinking, fighting spirit as internal motivation among athletes, and also a briefly discussio...
