Purpose: This study analyzed the research trends in the Korean Journal of Sport Psychology (KJSP) using topic modeling based on the LDA algorithm. Specifically, (a) the major topics and keywords published in KJSP over the past 20 years were explored, and (b) the topic distribution over the year intervals was analyzed. Methods: The analysis covered a total of 801 articles published in KJSP from Volume 15, Issue 1 in 2004 to Volume 34, Issue 1 in 2023. The titles of these articles were collected through web crawling and prepared for analysis through preprocessing. The collected data were classified into four topics based on Coherence Score, and the top 5 keywords for each topic were extracted. Furthermore, the 20 years were divided into four intervals (1st interval: 2004-2009; 2nd interval: 2010-2014; 3rd interval: 2015-2019; 4th interval: 2020-2023) to calculate the topic distribution. To verify the correlation between the year interval and topic distribution, a correlation analysis using Spearman’s rho was conducted. Results: First, the topics of articles published in KJSP over the past 20 years were identified as ‘scale development,’ ‘sports and exercise psychology,’ ‘psychological skills training,’ and ‘motor learning and control.’ Second, the four topics showed varying distributions over the year intervals. However, the correlation analysis between year intervals and topic distribution was statistically significant only for Topic 3, ‘psychological skills training.’ Conclusion: This study analyzed the research conducted over the past 20 years published in KJSP, examining the topics covered and how the research themes have changed over time. The results of the analysis are expected to provide ideas for subsequent research and contribute to the creation of new paradigms.
Application Cases of Life Skills Career Program for the Dual Career of College Athletes
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to apply the life skill career program to college athletes and to identify changes. Methods: The study involved 36 college athletes (male=26 and female=10) enrolled as outstanding physical education students at Y University. The program was conducted with an emphasis on career goal setting and practice. Therefore, it consists of meeting and greeting, understanding goals, setting career goals, practicing career goals, overcoming career goal obstacles, managing time, thinking positively, and making future plans. To verify the effectiveness of the program, life skill and career adaptability test papers were used, and in-depth interview data were collected by selecting eight of the players who participated in the program. Results: As a result of the pre- and post-analysis of the life skill career program, the goal setting, stress, and time management factors of life skill sub-factors had a great effect according to Cohen’s (2013) criteria. On the other hand, positive thoughts had a moderate effect. Curiosity, a sub-factor of career adaptation, showed a moderate effect. On the other hand, interest and confidence had a small effect. In-depth interviews with college athletes revealed their efforts to utilize the life skills learned through PEAK-DC for career preparation. In addition, Positive changes in career preparation and future life were observed. Conclusion: PEAK-DC takes on value as a program supporting college athletes' dual careers.
