Description
Summary:This paper presents a new tool for three-dimensional measurement of mood: the POMS -VIC. It's a psychological measurement resource formed from three scales: intensity, valence or pleasure, and control. The instrument was administered to a sample of 87 water polo players (67% men). Reliability of the scales and the normality of the variables was analyzed. The correlation coefficient was performed by Spearman rank nonparametric and groups . The three scales showed high internal consistency and high reliability alpha coefficients . The values and direction of the correlations to identify emotional states two groups : one consisting of tension, depression , anger , fatigue and confusion , and another consisting of force and friendship. Women had higher scores on all three scales force . The level of competition in which athletes participate was not associated with mood thereof. We conclude that the POMS -VIC allows to know in addition to the intensity of the different moods , the level of satisfaction that motivate the athlete and their perception of control over them. It therefore considers that the instrument has an important new practical implications for sport psychology.
