“…Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficients of the original scale for each dimension are .89, .75 and .74, respectively. The test-retest reliability coefficient was found as .92, .80 and 69 (p<.001) (Paquette Gagnon, Bouchard, Bigras & Schneider, 2013).

“…While some researchers (Sheridan & Williams, 2011) see competition as a detrimental factor to the learning environment, some researchers, on the contrary, have revealed that competition is an important factor that increases learning motivation and motivates learning (Bulut, 2020;Sheridan & Williams, 2011).

“…Schoolchildren who always employ aggression/assertion can be socially isolated, which would prevent them from enjoying the benefits of social life. On the other hand, pupils who only perform cooperation may not defend or assert themselves in the many arising competitive situations (Paquette, Gagnon, Bouchard, Bigras, Schneider, 2013).…”
