ABSTRACT:
The present endeavour was aimed to study the relationship of goal orientation and psychological well-being among inter-college level female boxers. For this purpose, a total of 200 female boxers, within the age range of 18-24, from different colleges of Punjabi University, Patiala, Guru Nanak Dev University and Amritsar were selected as respondents. The group was subdivided in two equal groups i.e. 100 medal winner boxers and 100 non-medal winner boxers. The following standardized tools were administered on the sample: 1. Task and Ego Orientation in Sports Questionnaire by Duda and Nicholls (1992) and 2. Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale developed by Ryffs and Keyes (1995). Pearson’s product-movement method was used as statistical tool. The results revealed that both Task and Ego orientation was significantly related to dimensions of psychological well-being among medal winner and non-medal winner boxers. The results were further discussed.
