The aim of this study is to evaluate the imagery and self-efficacy beliefs of athletes. 35 male and 47 female; totally 82 athletes participated in the study. SIQ and SES scale was used to collect the data. SES (Self-Efficacy Scale) that was developed Riggs et al. (1994) was translated and adapted to Turkish by Öcel (2002). SIQ (Sport Imagery Questionnaire) especially developed for sports and it was designed by Hall et al (1998). Turkish adaptation of inventory was done by Kızıldağ in 2007.. According to t test results by gender comparative comparison, sub dimension of sport imagery questionnaire there is a statistically significant difference at the sub dimension of imagery which is the Motivational Specific Imagery and Motivational General Arousal Imagery (p<0.05). The Correlation results showed that there was a significant relationship between Cognitive Imagery and Self Efficacy; Motivational Specific Imagery and Self Efficacy; Motivational General-Mastery and Self Efficacy (p<0.05). The results of this study reveal that, the imagery change in terms of gender, imagery and self-efficacy beliefs show some relationships and this relationship is observable.

Most of the involuntarily hospitalized psychiatric inpatients were male, were not working and had the diagnosis of schizophrenia. These general psychiatric risk factors were more important in involuntary hospitalization compared to voluntary hospitalization. We concluded that the high prevalence of involuntary hospitalizations deserved further studies.

A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T OOb bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : This research aims to examine team cohesion beliefs of youth athletes based on gender and team tenure, and team cohesion-collective efficacy relationship in youth sport. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : The participants were 180 males (age: 15.41±1.15 year) and 70 females (age: 14.70±1.09 year), 250 athletes in total (age: 15.10±1.16 year), involved youth academies for team sports (football, basketball and volleyball). The Collective Efficacy Scale and Youth Sport Environment Questionnaire were used to assess the athletes' collective efficacy beliefs and perceptions of team cohesion. Descriptive statistics, one-way MANOVA, one-way ANOVA, Pearson Moment correlations, multiple regression and bootstrapping procedures were used to analyze the research data. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : Results showed significant differences on both the task and social dimensions of team cohesion based on the gender of participants (p<0.05). Team cohesion beliefs did not differ based on team tenure (p>0.05). Significant negative correlations were observed between task cohesion and collective efficacy (r=-0.312, p<0.01) and between social cohesion and collective efficacy (r=-0.149, p<0.05). An indirect effect of social cohesion on collective efficacy through task cohesion was observed (β=-0.05, BCa 95% CI=[-0.08 to-0.03]). C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : The findings of this study suggest that high social cohesion may have adverse effects on collective efficacy in youth sport settings.

B u çalışmanın amacı, Genç Sporcu Takım Sargınlığı Ölçeği'nin (GSTSÖ) (Youth Sport Environment Questionnaire) Türkçeye uyarlanması ve psikometrik özelliklerinin incelenmesidir. GSTSÖ, genç sporcuların takım sargınlığı algılarını değerlendirmek üzere geliştirilmiş bir ölçme aracıdır. Çalışmaya futbol, basketbol ve voleybol takım sporlarında mücadele eden 70 kadın (: 14.70±1.09) ve 180 erkek (: 15.41±1.15) olmak üzere 250 genç sporcu (: 15.10±1.16) katılmıştır. GSTSÖ, 9'lu likert tipinde değerlendirilen, 2 alt boyut (sosyal sargınlık, görev sargınlığı) ve 18 maddeden oluşmaktadır. Verilerin analizinde, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA), Cronbach Alpha iç tutarlılık katsayısı, düzeltilmiş madde-toplam korelâsyonları, Ortalama Açıklanan Varyans (AVE) değeri ve Birleşik Güvenirlik (CR) katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin dilsel eşdeğerliği ve okunabilirlik düzeyi incelenmiştir. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğine ilişkin bulgular, orijinal ölçekteki iki faktörlü yapıyı destekler niteliktedir (χ 2 /sd=2.
