This study aimed to analyze ego identity status of the candidates who studied in school of physical education and sports. For this purpose, randomly selected 651 individuals, who attended to Kayseri Erciyes University, school of physical education and sports, were included to this study. In this research, Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status scale that was developed by Marcia [1] and adapted to Turkish by Oskay [2] was used to determine volunteers' identity status. Data obtained from personal information form, ego identity status scale was analyzed with SPSS 20.0 package program. For the distribution of the obtained data, Kolmogrov Smirnov test statistics were used and parametric tests were conducted for statistical analyses. Personal information related to candidates was given as scale total scores and frequency (f) and percentage (%) values were determined. To eliminate the differences between the scores obtained from scales, Independent t test was used for gender variable while One Way Anova test was used for age, mother and father education levels, placing scores of candidates to their departments and higher education variables. As a result, meaningful difference was found between students' ego identity status and their age, education departments, mother education level and placing score to higher education while a meaningful difference was not found between students' ego identity status and gender and father education level. It was thought that students' ego identity status differentiated due to increase in student ages and different interactions of the education departments.

Original Article AbstractBu araştırmanın amacı profesyonel olarak futbol oynayan sporcuların sporda insan hakları tutumu ve özgünlük düzeylerinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmaya Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu bünyesinde bulunan profesyonel olarak kabul edilen; Süper Lig, 1. Lig, 2.Lig ve 3. Lig takımlarında aktif olarak futbol oynayan 1912 futbolcudan rastgele seçilmiş 674 futbolcu çalışmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Futbolculara araştırmacı tarafından oluşturulan sosyo demografik bilgi formu, Akın ve Dönmezoğulları (2010) tarafından geçerliliği güvenirliği yapılmış Özgünlük ölçeği ve Sadık (2014) tarafından geçerliliği ve güvenirliliği yapılmış, Sporda İnsan Hakları Tutumu ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin dağılımları için Kolmogrov Smirnov test istatistiği kullanılmış ve istatistiki analizler için parametrik testler kullanılmıştır. Adaylara ilişkin kişisel bilgiler, ölçek toplam puanları ile frekans (f) ve yüzde (%) değerleri tespit edilerek verilmiştir. Ölçeklerden elde edilen puanlar arasındaki farklılığı ortaya koyabilmek için yaş, spor yaşı, oynadığı lig, oynandığı mevki ve eğitim durumlarına göre karşılaştırmalarda One Way Anova testi kullanılmıştır. Farklılığın kaynağını tespit edebilmek için de Post Hoc testlerinden LSD istatistiğinden faydalanılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlara göre futbolcuların Sporda insan hakları tutumu ve Özgünlük düzeylerinin yaş, spor yaşı, oynadığı lig ve eğitim durumuna göre farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Dünya da olduğu gibi aynı zamanda Ülkemizde de popüler bir meslek olan futbolculuğun toplum tarafından göz önünde bulunduğu ve bunların bakış açıların toplumu yönlendirdiği bilinmektedir. Elde edilen sonuçların toplumla ilişkilendirilerek, insanların sporda insan hakları tutumlarının ve özgünlüklerinin artırabileceği ve herkes için olan sporun toplum da daha fazla yer alabileceği düşünülmektedir.The purpose of this research was to examine the level of human rights attitudes in sports and authenticity of professional football (soccer) athletes.

Mindful attention awareness and ruminative thought style scale were used as data collection. The scales were applied to students by face-to-face survey method. SPSS package program was used to analyze of the data. Pearson Correlation and Linear Regression analyses were applied for the statistical analyses. As a result, it was found that there was a positive and low-level relationship between mindful attention awareness and ruminative thought styles while mindful attention awareness slightly affected ruminative thought styles. In this context, it can be said that the students do not lose command over past or future events in their lives and act by experiencing the present moment.         Keywords: Sports; teacher candidates; mindfulness; ruminative thought
