The research was conducted in order to determine specificity of motor dimensions of judo and karate athletes and their differences. In order to determine the specificity of the structure of the tested anthropological dimensions, the researchers examined 200 judo and karate athletes, members of judo and karate clubs of Serbia (about 100 judokas and about 100 karatekas), aged 18 to 27 years. To assess motor abilities, the researchers used 16 motor tests selected according to the structural model, defined as a mechanism for movement structuring, mechanism for functional synergies and tonus regulation, mechanism for excitation intensity regulation, and a mechanism for excitation duration regulation. All the data in this research were processed at the Multidisciplinary Research Center, Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Pristina, through the system of data processing software programs developed by Popovic. The algorithms and programs realized in the research are fully presented, and the results of the programs are analyzed.
The research was conducted in order to determine differences in the social status structure of male and female performers of folk dances. For the purpose of determining the social status structure of male and female dancers, 103 male and 145 female dancers aged 18-28 actively engaged in folk dancing were tested. For the assessment of social status, only one model that allows for true scientific approach to studying the structure of stratification dimensions has been made so far. The model was constructed by Saksida and later served as a basis for many studies conducted by other authors as well (Saksida, Caserman, Petrovic, Momirovic, and Hosek). Designed as a phenomenological model, it has undergone several changes over time, but it is still suitable for studying social change. The INST2 questionnaire modified by Boli, Popovic, Hosek, Momirovic, and Savic (SSMIN) was applied in this study. All the data obtained in this research were processed at the Multidisciplinary Research Center of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Pristina, through the system of data processing programs designed by D. Popovic and K. Momirovic. To determine differences between the groups, a method of discriminant analysis was applied. KeywordsStructure, discriminant, social status, correlationThe intelligent and socialized behaviors are, from both an individual and social point of view, two most important modalities of human behavior. However, while psychologists have developed thousands of reliable and valid tests of the efficiency of cognitive functions, the number of measurement instruments on the basis of which it could be estimated in a fairly reliable and relevant way whether someone in the family, at school or work behave in a socially adjusted, that is, mature, polite, and civilized manner is lower than the number of measurement instruments for the assessment of any relevant psychic function.There are several reasons that are responsible for this unhealthy condition. The first reason is, of course, the position of the socialization construct in the space of conative functions. This construct does not exist in any serious, that is, mathematical theory of personality, except for the cybernetic theories of conative functions in which the degree of socialized behavior is considered to be a manifestation of the functioning of the evaluation system , and this construct is hardly mentioned or is not mentioned at all even in the best and most comprehensive psychology dictionaries. The second reason is the orientation of psychologists and
Due to its simplicity and explicit algebraic and geometric meanings, latent dimensions, and identification structures associated with these dimensions, reliability of the latent dimensions obtained by orthoblique transformation of principal components can be determined in a clear and unambiguous manner. Let G = (gij); i = 1, ..., n; j = 1, ..., m is an acceptably unknown matrix of measurement errors in the description of a set E on a set V. Then the matrix of true results of entities from E on the variables from V will be Y = Z - G. Assume, in accordance with the classical theory of measurement (Gulliksen, 1950, Lord - Novick, 1968; Pfanzagl, 1968), that matrix G is such that YtG = 0 and GtGn-1 = E2 = (ejj2) where E2 is a diagonal matrix, the covariance matrix of true results will be H = YtYn-1 = R - E2 if R = ZtZn-1 is an intercorrelation matrix of variables from V defined on set E. Suppose that the reliability coefficients of variables from V are known; let P be a diagonal matrix whose elements j are these reliability coefficients. Then the variances of measurement errors for the standardized results on variables from V will be just elements of the matrix E2 = I - . Now the true values on the latent dimensions will be elements of the matrix = (Z - G)Q with the covariance matrix = tn-1 = QtHQ = QtRQ - QtE2Q = (pq). Therefore, the true variances of the latent dimensions will be the diagonal elements of matrix ; denote those elements with p2. Based on the formal definition of the reliability coefficient of some variable = t2 / where t2 is a true variance of the variable and is the total variance of the variable, or the variance that also includes the error variance, the reliability coefficients of the latent dimensions, if the reliability coefficients of the variables from which these dimensions have been derived are known, will be p = p2 / sp2 = 1 - (qptE2qp )(qptRq )-1 p = 1,...,k
The research was conducted in order to determine influence of conative characteristics on the criterion variables in Special Olympics athletes and partners in football. For this purpose, 80 athletes and partners engaged in football were tested. For the assessment of conative characteristics, the measurement instrument CON6 was selected by which the following conative regulators were evaluated: activity regulator, organ function regulator, defense reaction regulator, attack reaction regulator, system for coordination of regulatory functions, system for integration of regulatory functions, and system for excitation and inhibition. To assess success in a football game, the following variables were used: evaluation of the effectiveness of the
