Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to compare the Mental Toughness between Individual Game and Team Game players. For the purpose of this study a total of 80 subjects (N=80) were chosen, Individual Game (n=40) and Team Game (n=40). The subjects were chosen using Quota sampling technique from PUP Patiala. Mental Toughness was measured using Dr. Alan Goldberg Questionnaire which consisted of thirty questions measuring five attributes namely Concentration, Confidence and motivation. Independent sample “t” test was used to compare the Mental Toughness between Individual Game and Team Game players. The results showed that there is a significant difference between Team Game Players and Individual Game players in terms of Pressure Handling and Overall Mental Toughness with Team Game players scoring higher in all three attributes.
