The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between smartphone addiction and life satisfaction of the students studying at faculty of sport sciences and to determine whether these parameters differ in terms of various variables. In the study, the Smartphone Addiction Scale developed by and adapted to Turkish by Noyan et al. (2015) was used to determine the level of smartphone addiction of the participants. Life Satisfaction Scale developed by Diener et al., (1985) and adapted to Turkish by Köker (1991) was used to determine the life satisfaction levels of the participants. Conventional sampling method was preferred for sample selection and face-toface survey method was used for data collection. In the analysis of the obtained data, descriptive statistics, Independent Sample t-test, One-way ANOVA and Pearson Correlation Analysis were used. A total of 554 volunteers participated in the study: 276 males (49,8 %) and 278 females (50,2%). According to the results of the research, smartphone addiction and life satisfaction parameters had a statistically significant difference according to various variables. In addition, there was a significant negative correlation between life satisfaction and smartphone addiction. As a result, it was determined that as life satisfaction levels increased, smartphone addiction levels of participants decreased.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between personality traits and prosocial and antisocial behaviors displayed in team athletes. In this respect, the data was collected from a total of 445 (61 females and 384 males) participants engaged in team sports. The relational screening model was used in the study. The Prosocial and Antisocial Behavior in Sports Scale, Five Factor Personality Inventory and Personal Information Form prepared by the researcher were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient were used in the analysis. As a result of the analysis it was determined that there was a positive and a significant relationship between prosocial behavior-team (PT), prosocial behavior-opponent (PO) and extroversion, responsibility and openness sub-dimensions. However, significant negative difference was determined between prosocial behavior-team, prosocial behavior-opponent (PO) and neuroticism. Accordingly, as prosocial behaviors of team athletes increase, the neuroticism level of the athletes decreases. A negative significant relationship was determined between the scores obtained from the antisocial behavior-team (AT) and antisocial behavior-opponent (AO) and the sub-dimensions of consistency and responsibility. There was a significant positive correlation between the neuroticism subdimension. There was no statistically significant relationship between the subdimensions of extraversion and openness.

In this study, it was aimed to investigate exercise dependencies according to perceived health levels from participation in recreational activities. In the study, the “Exercise Addiction Scale” developed by Tekkurşun-Demir, Hazar and Cicioğlu (2018) and “The Scale of Perceived Health Outcomes in Recreation” developed by Gómez et al. (2016) and adapted to Turkish by Yerlisu-Lapa et al. (2017) were used. Convenience sampling method was used for sample selection, and face-to-face survey method was preferred for data collection. Independent Sample t-test and One-way ANOVA were used in examining the differences between variables and descriptive analysis were conducted by using the SPSS package program. In addition, Hierarchical and Non-Hierarchical Clustering analysis was used to group the participants according to perceived health outcome levels. A total of 241, including 114 male (47.3%) and 127 female (52.7%), who participated in the activities within the Sport Istanbul Inc., participated in the study voluntarily. When the findings of the research were examined, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in the “Over Focus and Emotional Change” sub-dimensions of exercise dependence according to the perceived health level. As a result, it was found that individuals with high health perception had a higher level of over-focus and emotional change than those with low health perception.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of work engagement and mindfulness on positive organizational behavior. A total of 203 participants, 73 females (36.0%) and 130 males (64.0%) working in different positions and levels in the Ministry of Youth and Sports in September 2020 participated in the study voluntarily. The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, Mindfulness Scale, Positive Organizational Behavior Scale were used in the study. In the analysis of the data; Skewness and Kurtosis, multiple linear regression analysis, Pearson Moments Multiplication Correlation Coefficient, Multiple Linear Regression Analysis and descriptive statistics were used. The work engagement, mindfulness levels of the participants were high and their positive organizational behavior levels were at the acceptable level. It was determined that there was a significant relationship between all the scales and their sub-dimensions. In addition, it was concluded that 37% of optimism, 21% of psychological resilience, 34% of hope and 47% of self-efficacy were explained by vigor, absorption, concentration and mindfulness.

The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between courage and self-confidence together with an athlete identity perception. In the study, it was also tested whether there were differences in athlete identity perception, courage and self-esteem in terms of age, gender, sport year, sports field and education level.A total of 156 athletes (79 male and 77 female), selected by random sampling methods accepted to participate voluntarily in the research.Athletic Identity Perception Scale, Courage Scale and Self-Confidence Scale were used as a research tool.According to the results of the research, a strong positive correlation was found between sense of athlete identity, courage and inner self-esteem. However, there was no significant relationship between sense of athlete identity and external self-esteem.On the other hand, while no significant difference was determined between courageand internal self-confidence in terms of gender (p>0,05), significant difference was determined in external self-confidence in terms of gender (p <0,05). The results of the study showed that female athletes had a higher sense of external self-esteem than male athletes. ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı, sporcu kimlik algısı ile cesaret ve özgüven duyguları arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesidir. Çalışmada ayrıca, sporcuların sporcu kimlik algısı, cesaret ve öz güven duygularında yaş, cinsiyet, spor yılı, spor dalı ve eğitim düzeyi açısından anlamlı farklılıkların bulunup bulunmadığı test edilmiştir.Araştırmaya, tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen ve araştırmaya gönüllü olarak katılmayı kabul eden altı farklı spor dalından 79 erkek ve 77 kadın sporcu olmak üzere toplam 156 sporcu katılmıştır.Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak, Sporcu Kimlik Algısı Ölçeği, Cesaret ölçeği ve Özgüven Ölçeği kullanılmıştır.Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, sporcu kimlik algısı ile cesaret ve iç özgüven duygusu arasında güçlü bir pozitif ilişki bulunmuştur. Ancak sporcu kimlik algısı ile dış özgüven duygusu arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır.Diğer taraftan, sporcuların sporcu kimlik algısı, cesaret ve iç öz güven duygularında cinsiyet açısından anlamlı bir fark bulunmazken (p>0,05), dış özgüven duygusunda cinsiyet açısından anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Araştırma sonuçları, kadın sporcuların erkek sporculardan daha yüksek dış özgüven duygusuna sahip olduklarını göstermektedir.
