| Resumo: | This study aimed to investigate the effect of chess practice on the adoption of the life
history strategy, on levels of focused attention, self-efficacy, self-control,
procrastination and resilience in adults and adolescents. To achieve this purpose,
instruments were applied to assess the aforementioned variables in a sample of 225
participants, composed of adolescents (14 to 17 years old) and adults (18 to 57 years
old), both age groups divided into subgroups of chess practitioners and nonpractitioners. The results of the analyzes indicated that no differences were observed
between groups and genders for a life history strategy variable. For the focused
attention variable, it was observed that only the Adult Chess Players group had higher
focused attention than the other groups. With regard to the procrastination variable, it
was observed that the Adult Chess Players group had a lower procrastination score than
adolescents chess players and non-chess players, but it was observed a similar value
comparing with adults who are not chess players. We also observe that Adult Chess
Players showed higher resilience and self-efficacy than the other groups. The research
and findings in the present study shed light on the importance of understanding how
behaviors not directly linked to contexts of academic and professional conduct (such as
games, sports and leisure time) can affect our performance, our choices and our
cognitive functions. |
