The Relationship between Resilience and Constant Hope in Students Studying Sports Science

Abstract

Individuals face negative events throughout their lives and such events can cause problems in every aspect of life. A high level of resilience is required to cope with such negative events. There are various factors that affect resilience. Hope is one of those factors. This factor provides a strong structure to individuals and keeps identified objectives alive. Based on this view, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between resilience and constant hope of students studying in a sports science department. Accordingly, the study group of this study consisted of 203 students with 91 female and 112 male students studying in a sports science faculty/school of physical education and sports of universities. The data collection tools of this study were the "Resilience Scale" and the "Constant Hope Scale". Additionally, to collect information about the students, the "Personal Information Form" developed by the researchers was adopted during the data collection process. The analysis of the obtained data was done with descriptive statistics, t-test for independent two groups, one-way variance analysis (Anova), and Pearson Correlation. To determine which groups caused the statistical difference after one-way variance analysis (Anova), the Tukey HSD multiple comparative test was applied. The results of the study indicated that the data obtained on a scale basis had normal distribution. While there was no significant difference for gender between the relationship of resilience and constant hope, there was a statistically significant difference between different age groups. Additionally, the correlation analysis indicated that there was a positive, moderate level relationship between the two scales.

Examining the Solution-focused Thinking and Hope Levels of Turkish Midwifery Students During Distance Education: A Cross-sectional Study

“…This process explains the relationship between SFT skill and hope. Also, in other studies, a significant relationship was detected between hope and problem-solving skills (34) and psychological resilience (29), as well as between SFT and empathy ( 14) and happiness (33).…”

“…Similar to the result of this study, it was found that in Turkey, nursing students in the study by Bilgiç et al (15) before the pandemic and university students in the study by Duman et al (16) had high levels of hope. In addition, the hope levels of sports science students before the pandemic were found to be moderate (29). In Turkey, there is a summer internship in the curriculum of midwifery departments.…”

Relationship between World Assumptions and Resilience in Psychological Counsellors: The Mediating Role of Self-Orientations

“…In this case, positive randomness assumption may also lead to think of having high level of hope. Similarly, Tolga et al (2018) found that resilience is related to constant hope, positively and moderately. As resilience increases, the level of constant hope is constantly increasing at the middle level.…”

“…Furthermore, high and low hope is influenced by social support (Bareket-Bojmel et al, 2021). Meanwhile, hope is also known to contribute to resilience (Togo et al, 2018;Karaman et al, 2020).…”
