accessible universe based on the screening model of quantitative research methods. In order to collect the data in the research, the "Emotion Regulation Scale" (EMS) developed by Gross and John (2003), adapted to Turkish by Eldeleklioğlu and Eroğlu (2015), and adapted for athletes by Tingaz and Ekin (2021), was used. The scale consists of 8-item and 7-point Likert type (1 = I strongly disagree, 4 = I am undecided, 7 = I strongly agree) "Cognitive Reassessment" and "Suppression" sub-dimensions. In the data analysis, independent samples t-test was used for binary group comparisons and One Way ANOVA analysis was used to compare the averages of more than two groups. In order to determine the reliability of the measurement tools, Cronbach's Alpha analysis was applied and the significance value p<0.05 was taken into account. There was no statistically significant difference in the suppression sub-dimension, cognitive re-evaluation sub-dimension and emotion regulation skills score averages of the participants according to gender. It was found that there was no statistically significant difference in the suppression sub-dimension, cognitive re-evaluation sub-dimension and emotion regulation skills score averages of the participants according to the sports year. According to the findings obtained from the study, there was no significant difference in emotion regulation skills according to gender and sports year variables. Since our research results are specific to the sample group consisting of sports science students, the research can be repeated by including different variables.
