The Psychological Needs to Translator Trainers

Abstract

The study identifies the psychological needs of translating training that requires appropriate theoretical and practical training. The need as it is that internal force that drives the behavior and directs it to achieve a specific goal and this driving force is influenced by internal factors in the translator himself, or from the external environment surrounding him. Quantitative research methods are used to find how psychological needs may cause a lot of translation problems and even fears about professional translation. The researcher chose the research sample of (530) Male and female students, by (232) male and female students (298), distributed according to university students at department of translation / faculty of arts / Mustansiriyah University, it is clear from the use of appropriate measuring tools and statistical methods that the level of psychological needs of the members of the study sample from university students is low. The need to belong to the lowest ranks came psychological needs with a relative weight (23.5) followed by the need for efficiency (28.6). Besides, the need for independence comes with relative weight (33.2). Thus, the psychological needs of the translator trainer came at the top of the scale of the basic psychological needs of the sample individuals. This may be due to the nature of the country's circumstances in which we live in sectarian wars and conflicts that have torn the Iraqi people apart and positive contribution for the future translators is very likely to be trained.
