A Qualitative Study, Model Constructing And Measurement Of Volition

The study was to construct a theoretical model of volition and develop two tools adapted to measure athletes' volition and the general' s volition individually.Based on literature review,phenomenological interview,BEI technique and mental measurement were adopted in this research.Also qualitative study and qualitative study were combined to explore volition model and volition measurement.The main conclusions were as follows:1.Constructing volition model.There are two classes dimensions, which included four dimensions in the first class and nine dimensions in the second class.The dimensions in the first class were:consciousness, independence,resoluteness and toughness and the dimensions in the second class were:goal clarity,continence,belief confirmation,persistence, wisdom focus,decision in time,fatigue endurance and difficulty bearing. Self-fufillment,goal clarity,continence belonged to consciousness, belief confirmation,persistence belonged to independence,wisdom focus and decision in time belonged to resolution and fatigue endurance and difficulty bearing belonged to toughness.Being tested,the model was well-constructed and reflected the volition quality well.2.Develop BTL-L-YZ2.0 Scale for Athletes' Volition and BTL-L-YZ1.0 Scale for the general.There scale included 9 sub-scale and 36 items. According to the difficulty,the scale was divided into 3 categories: high level,intermediate evel and low level.2 lie items were added in the scale.The averageαis.73 in sub-scale of BTL-L-YZ2.0 and the averageαis.74 in sub-scale of BTL-L-YZ1.0 by all attributes test for scale measurement.And SEM test reached the acceptable level,which means the scale was in good quality,and could be applied and popularized.3.Athletes' and undergraduate' s Volition level and its character. BTL-L-YZ2.0 and BTL-L-YZ1.0 were adopted to study athletes' and undergraduate' s volition.The results showed athletes had good volitive quality,which closed to the fifth level.Athletes' consciousness in strength and conditioning group was better than those in technique group, but athletes' difficulty bearing in technique group was better than those in strength and conditioning group.For undergraduates majoring in science subjects,their goal clarity was better than those majoring in arts subjects,but undergraduates' belief confirmation in science subjects was better than those in arts subjects.Female' s fatigue endurance was better than male' s.There was no significant difference in other dimensions.The conclusions could help to evaluate volitive quality.In addition, it could provide foundation of positive study to elite athlete' s selection and cultivation and be of important applicable value.
