Does perceived self-regulation affect target commitment?

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of perceived self-regulation levels on target commitment of secondary school students participating and no-participating in inter-school sports competitions. “General Information Form”, “Perceived Self-Regulation Scale (PSRS) and “Goal Commitment Scale (GCS)” were used to collect the data. The sample group consisted of 313 (male = 130, female = 183) students studying at secondary level. Pearson Moment Correlation test, Manova analysis and simple linear regression analysis were used for data analysis. As a result of the analysis, the main effect of the variables of gender and participating in inter-school sports competitions was not determined to be statistically significant for PSRS and GCS. As a result of the regression analysis, it was determined that perceived self-regulation predicted the target commitment positively and statistically significant. Also, it was determined that there was a positive and significant difference between PSRS and GCS. In this study, it was determined that participating in inter-school sports competitions did not significantly affect perceived self-regulation and target commitment levels. It is recommended that the study should be applied to students who do regular sports and students who do not do regular sports

THE PREDISPOSITION TO PHYSICAL EDUCATION OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ATTENDING TO SCHOOL SPORTS AND INVESTIGATION OF THEIR SPORTMANSHIP BEHAVIORS IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION COURSE

The aim of this study was to investigate the predisposition towards physical education of high school students attending to school sports and sportsmanship behaviors in physical education course. In this study, the subjects were 1049 high school students who participated in school sports. Personal Information Form, Physical Education Predisposition Scale (PEPS) and Sportmanship Behaviour Scale in Physical Education Course (SBSPEC) were used for data collection. The data were analysed by using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient, Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA), Multiple Regression Analysis. In this study, the significance level was identified as p<. 05 and p<. 01. PEPS results showed that gender and sports branch variables as the sub-dimensions of self-efficacy are significantly different (p<.05) whereas attitude as other sub-dimension and the mean of PEPS did not show any significant difference. Also, SBSPEC results showed that gender variable is significantly different (p<.05) in terms of Exhibiting Positive Behaviours (EPB), Avoidance Negative Behaviours (ANB) and SBSPEC. However, there was no significant difference in sports branch variable. The analysis showed that there was a small and positive correlation between PEPS and SBSPEC. In the study, it was found that attitude and self-efficacy levels predict sportsmanship behaviors positively, low level and statistically significant in physical education course. The attitude and self-efficacy levels of high school students who participated in school sports were positive, low level and statistically significant predictive factors of sportmanship acts displayed through physical education classes.  Article visualizations

Investigation of sports consumption behaviors of faculty of sports sciences students according to different variables: Spor bilimleri fakültesi öğrencilerinin spor tüketimi davranışlarının farklı değişkenlere göre incelenmesi

The fact that there are very few studies in the literature on how consumption, which has become an important problem of our age, is reflected in sports fields, emphasizes the importance of this study. The aim of the research is to examine the sports consumption behaviors of individuals who receive sports education at the undergraduate level according to some variables. For this purpose, the Sports Consumption Scale was applied to 272 sport sciences faculty students. With the Sports Consumption Scale, the difference between gender and class variables of the students was investigated and the relationship between age and sports consumption was tested. To reach these findings, independent samples t test, One-Way ANOVA test and Pearson Correlation test were used in SPSS 22 program. As a result of the analysis, men scored significantly higher than women in the mean scores of sports consumption, product and activity consumption. In the media consumption dimension, no significant difference was found between genders. In terms of grade level, sport consumption differed only in the media consumption dimension and this difference was between 1st and 3rd grades in favor of 1st grades. Finally, it was concluded that age had no relationship with sports consumption.

Predictors of Internet Addiction in Middle Adolescence: Social, Emotional Loneliness and Digital Gaming

The research aims to determine how much Internet addiction, an important problem in middle adolescence, is explained by social and emotional loneliness and digital game-playing duration. For this purpose, 283 (108 females+175 males) middle-adolescent individuals participated in the study. “Personal Information Form,” “Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale (SELSA),” and “Internet Addiction Scale (IAS)” were used as data collection tools in the research. The data collected online were coded and transferred to the SPSS program, and descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and Regression techniques were used in statistical analysis. In the study, the level of significance was taken as p&lt;.05. According to the results of the analysis, there is a low, significant, and positive correlation between SELSA and IAS and a low, significant, and positive correlation between SELSA and digital game playing duration and a low, significant, and positive correlation was found between IAS and the duration of playing digital games. It was determined that the statistical analysis results did not show a significant difference in the gender variable of the IAS and SELSA scores. As a result of the regression analysis, it was seen that SELSA and digital game-playing duration significantly predicted addiction. SELSA and digital game-playing duration explain 9.6% of the total variance regarding Internet addiction. As a result, it can be said that individuals in middle adolescence experience social and emotional loneliness at a moderate level and are connected to the Internet at a low level

An Application Based on Artificial Neural Network for Determining Viewpoint Coordinates on a Screen

This study used two different Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to determine the point on a computer screen that the user is looking at. First, an ANN, called ANN1 was developed to identify the eye region of a laptop user from a webcam image. The computer screen was then divided into 57 × 32 blocks of 24 × 24 pixels. One hundred of these were randomly selected, and 20 images were taken by the integrated webcam while the user was looking at each point. The eye region was found on each image by ANN1. This eye region data was used to train another ANN, called ANN2. Twenty blocks were selected, and 20 different images were used as the test set. The coordinates of the block at which the user was looking were determined by ANN2. The deviations between the actual location coordinates and the location coordinates estimated by ANN2 were small. We conclude that our ANN2 was successfully trained to find the viewpoint of the user

Do Self-Efficacy and Moral Intelligence have a Role in the Formation of Sportsmanship Behavior?

The present study is aimed to investigate the effect of empathy, conscience, self-control, kindness and self-efficacy on sportsmanship behaviors, since there is no study that investigated the effects of self-efficacy and moral intelligence on sportsmanship behaviors. For this purpose, the study was carried out according to the relational screening design, which is one of the quantitative research designs. 397 students studying at the faculty of sports sciences participated in the research. "Yakut-Moral Intelligence Scale", "Athlete Self Efficacy Scale" and "Investigation of Sportsmanship Behaviors Scale" were used to carry out the study. Statistical analyzes were made in SPSS 25 program and Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were used. As a result of the analysis, sportsmanship has been determined that it has a significant relationship with empathy, conscience, self-control, kindness and self-efficacy. As another result of the study, while self-efficacy alone explains 13.4% of sportsmanship, self-efficacy, empathy, self-control and kindness together explain 48% of sportsmanship. It was determined that the sub-dimension of conscience did not have a significant effect on sportsmanship. According to these results, in displaying sportsmanship behaviors; Having a high level of self-efficacy, ability to empathize, power to control behaviors and kindness have an important and powerful effect

The Role of Chlamydia pneumoniae in the Atherosclerotic Process of Patients under 50 Years of Age Who Underwent Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

ABSTRACT Background: To evaluate the presence of C. pneumoniae DNA in the tissues and C. pneumoniae DNA antibodies in the blood samples of patients who underwent CABG surgery. Material and Methods: Fifty-one patients &lt;50 years of age were included in the study, and analyzed in two groups according to the intimal thickness of aorta. C. pneumoniae DNA was evaluated in the tissues collected from the atrium, left internal thoracic artery and ascending aorta of patients. Results: Although, C. pneumoniae DNA was negative in the atrial and left internal thoracic artery tissues of all patients, it was positive in the tissues obtained from the ascending aortas of twelve patients. C. pneumoniae DNA positivity was significantly higher in patients with increased aortic intimal thickness compared to those without increased aortic thickness. Conclusion: The question whether C. pneumoniae is triggering atherosclerosis or is involved as a superinfection could not be clarified
