Problem: Achieving accuracy in topspin shots is crucial for table tennis players to secure victories. Understanding the psychological factors influencing this skill is imperative for achieving success. Objective: This study aims to investigate the correlation between cognitive processing speed (CPS) and emotional intelligence (EI) with topspin accuracy (TPA) in table tennis. Recognizing the significance of these psychological factors, the research seeks to shed light on their impact on topspin performance. Method: Employing a quantitative approach, this study uses a correlation method to examine the relationships between CPS, EI, and TPA. A total of 89 participants, with an average age of 19.10±0.30 years engaged in this study. Data on topspin accuracy was collected by administering a topspin accuracy test, followed by administering a cognitive processing speed test and completing an emotional intelligence questionnaire. Spearman-Rho tests were used to determine the association between the variables. Result: The study reveals noteworthy findings: (1) a positive relationship between cognitive processing speed and topspin accuracy (r = 0.372, p < 0.05). (2) there is a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and topspin accuracy (r = 0.380, p < 0.05). These results underscore the significance of both cognitive processing speed and emotional intelligence in influencing topspin accuracy. Conclusion: Cognitive processing speed and emotional intelligence affect topspin accuracy. Coaches and practitioners are urged to take cognizance of these psychological components when designing training programs, emphasizing the need to enhance both cognitive processing speed and emotional intelligence for optimizing topspin performance in the sport. This research contributes valuable insights for coaches, athletes, and sports psychologists, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the psychological dynamics involved in achieving precision in topspin shots.
