Abstract |
This study aimed to examine the associations among the presence of an inferiority complex regarding physical education classes, the like or dislike of physical education classes, and grades. The surve...y was administered to firstand third-year junior high school students using items related to their likes and dislikes of physical education classes, along with the Inferiority Complex Scale (as it pertains to physical education classes). A total of 454 junior high school students (213 first-year students and 241 third-year students), who exhibited no gaps in their responses to the questionnaire, were included in the analysis. A two-way analysis of variance test was conducted along the inferiority complex subscale (with the scores of each item treated as a dependent variable), with the students’ grade level (firstyear, third-year) and likes and dislikes of physical education classes acting as independent variables. The results showed that the first factor of the inferiority complex scale – which focuses on motor skills – mainly affected the students’ “like or dislike of physical education classes.” Next, psychosocial and physical factors, which cause feelings of inferiority to develop into an inferiority complex, affected the students’ “like or dislike of physical education class,” along with their “grade level,” respectively. These results indicate that the way in which inferiority complexes are held differs depending on a student’s like or dislike of physical education classes and grade level.show more
