Psychological Resilience And Its Relationship To Physical Self-esteem Among Mixed Martial Arts Practitioners — A Field Study Of Selected Clubs In The Eastern Algeria —



Authors : Yagoubi Adma .

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to examine the relationship between mental toughness and physical self-esteem among mixed martial arts (MMA) practitioners in Algeria, as well as to analyse the correlations between the three dimensions of mental toughness (commitment, challenge and control) and physical self-esteem. A descriptive-correlation approach was adopted. The sample consisted of 30 mixed martial arts athletes selected from three clubs in eastern Algeria. Data were collected using the Mental Toughness Scale (Makhmar, 2002) and the Physical Self-Esteem Scale developed by Mohamed Allaoui, Issam al-hilali and Taymour Ahmed Ragheb. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 22, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient was applied to test the research hypotheses. The results revealed a statistically significant inverse correlation between commitment and physical self-esteem (r = -0.631, p < 0.001), a statistically significant positive correlation between challenge and physical self-esteem (r = 0.537, p = 0.003), and a non-statistically significant relationship between control and physical self-esteem (r = -0.359, p = 0.069). Overall, the results suggest that psychological resilience is not a uni-dimensional construct in its relationship with physical self-esteem. Rather, its effects vary across its dimensions. The challenge dimension appears to enhance physical self-esteem, whilst commitment shows a contradictory inverse association in this context.
