Hubungan Antara Kecerdasan Emosi Dengan Kecemasan Dalam menghadapi Pertandingan Pada Atlet karate Remaja Junior di Dojo Sei Deli Medan

Abstract

According to Salovey and Mayer as the originator of the term emotional intelligence, defines emotional intelligence as the ability to monitor and control their own and other people's feelings and use those feelings to guide thought and action (in Goleman, 2001). Goleman's emotional intelligence in the sense seems to be indicated on the efforts that influence someone to succeed in addressing environmental demands or pressures. Emotional intelligence is the ability to sense, understand and effectively apply the power of emotional sensitivity as a source of energy, information, connection and influence human. EI can also be regarded as the ability to hear the inner voice as a source of information. Emotional intelligence possessed by athletes is determined by the influence of anxiety in the face of their game. One way to overcome the problems experienced by an athlete in the face of the game is to learn to cope with emotions or stress that occurs. Setyobroto (2002) adds that athletes should increase emotional stability especially in the face of negative feelings such as frustration, anxiety, fear of losing, and so forth. Poor mental condition will result in the athlete can not bear the mental burden both from opponents and from the audience compete . The ability to control the attitude and emotion in a game is to remain alert to the volatile situation in itself, so that a situation or circumstance will not affect emotions even in very difficult circumstances, athletes aie able to control and selfcontrol (Murti, 2002). According Setyobroto (2002) an athlete who can control their emotions or self control in a situation fraught with tension match will be able to de~onstrate high achievement and self-mastery is closely related to emotional intelligence. Goleman (2000), argues that emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize the feelings of self with others, for motivating ourselves and managing emotions themselves well and in social relationships. With an overview of research results that have been obtained in the above, it appears that the emotional intelligence of the individual was instrumental in reducing anxiety in the face of the game, an individual who is able to show high emotional intelligence, the more so in this study which is the subject of research is the athletes, will have a very significant effect for reducing anxiety in the face of the game. Based on the results of the analysis with the Product Moment Correlation Analysis Method, note that there is a significant negative relationship between emotional intelligence and anxiety in the face of the game, where rxy = -0.470, p = 0.001 <0.010. It means that the lower the emotional intelligence, the higher the anxiety for the game. Based on these results, the hypothesis that has been proposed in this study, have been accepted. Detenninant coefficient (r2) of the relationship between· the independent variable X and dependent variable Y is equal to r2 = 0.220. This suggests that the increase in anxiety in the face of the game. formed by low emotional quotient of 22.00%. Where the variable X - Y coefficient (rxy) - 0470, the determinant coefficient (r2) 0.220, P 0.001, BE 22.0%. Based on the results of the calculations have been done regarding the empirical mean and the hyPothetical mean, for emotional intelligence variables 115.00 and 112.995 the empirical mean emotional intelligence is being declared. Then for anxiety in the face of the game variables hypothetic mean is 61.50, the mean empirical is 78 911. Thus categorized as hig
