EXAMINING THE DEPRESSION LEVELS OF WATER SPORTS PLAYERS IN TERMS OF DIFFERENT SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES

In this study, the purpose is to examine the depression levels of regular water sports players in terms of different variables. The sampling of the study was formed by using the Convenient Sampling Method. A total of 92 people whose ages varied between 17 and 28 participated in the study; and 24 of them were women (26.1%), and 68 were men (73.9%). Sixty-one of the players (66.3%) dealt with water polo, 21 dealt with (22.8%) swimming, 10 dealt with (10.9%) underwater rugby. The participants answered the questions in the Beck Depression Scale, which consisted of 21 questions. According to the results of the reliability analysis, which was made for Beck Depression Scale, the reliability of the scale was determined as 0.94, which is an extremely high value. In the present study, numbers and percentiles of the independent variables, descriptive statistics of the dependent variables (Beck Scale Total Score), reliability (Alpha) and Item Analysis for the Beck Scale, One-Way Variance Analysis (ANOVA) between independent and dependent variables; and when differences were detected between the groups in the variance analysis, the Tukey-b Multiple Comparisons Test was applied to make comparisons between the groups. There were statistically significant differences between the total scores of the three Beck Scale groups, which were formed according to the sports branches the players dealt with; F(2,89)=3.646; p<0.05. According to the result of the Tukey-b Multiple Comparison Test, which was applied to determine from which group the statistically significant difference stemmed, it seemed that the group that dealt with swimming was more depressive than the group that dealt with water polo and underwater rugby; and the group that dealt with water polo seemed more depressive than the group that dealt with underwater rugby. In other words, the Beck Depression Scale scores of these groups were determined to be higher than those of the other groups. The results obtained in the analyses were discussed in line with the literature data.  Article visualizations

Analysis of Sports and Social Skill Relation in a Non-Sportive Group

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between social skills and sports participation of non-athlete participants. The data of this study were collected by using the Convenience Sampling Method from 197 females (59.3%) and 135 males (40.7%), a total of 332 participants, ranging in age from 17 to 67 years (mean=28.72±9.31 years). When asked about the frequency of engaging in sports, while 43 (13.0%) of the respondents reported regular participation and 117 (53.3%) reported occasional participation, and 112 (33.7%) were non-participants. The participants completed the “A Social Skills Scale” for adults consisting of 80 items, and the Socio-demographic Form. The results showed that the Internal Consistency Coefficient for the scale was 0.93. In order to compare the three groups (regular participants, occasional participants, and non-participants) and other variables in terms of the total score of the scale, the two-way ANOVA test was used. There were significant differences in social skill degrees between three groups which were constituted based on frequency of sports participation, between the genders, and between the two groups that were formed considering where participants spent most of their lives (big cities or small towns). On the other hand, no significant difference was observed between participants’ social skills according to age and socioeconomic variables like marital status, education, occupational and financial status. Findings were discussed in the context of the related literature

The aim of this research is to reveal whether the social skills training program has an effect on the research of social skills levels of students participating in the social skills training program and studying sports. The study group of the research consists of a total of 30 students, 5 female and 25 male, actively studying at Manisa Celal Bayar University in 2019-2020. In this study, socio-demographic information form and a social skill scale developed by Tatar et al. (2018) were used as data collection tools for adults. In the implementation phase of the study, the social skills training program was applied to 15 students, who were determined as the experimental group, for 9 sessions for 9 weeks, once a week for 1.5-2 hours. The data of this study were analyzed with SPSS program version 22.0. In the analysis of the data, the t-test was applied for the comparison results of the number percentage distributions of independent variables, descriptive statistics for dependent variables, reliability and item analysis of the scales, the mean of the two independent variables of the group and the total scores of the two measurements made at different times, and the t-test was applied to determine the difference between the mean scores of the groups. It was found that there was a significant difference between the pre-test score distributions and post-test score distributions of the experimental group receiving social skills training, but there was no significant difference between the pre-test score distributions and post-test scores of the experimental group and the control group. In the 3rd and 6th month score distributions conducted for monitoring process, it was observed that the effect of the social skills training program continued.  It was found that there was no difference between the post-test scores of the experimental and control groups of the students studying sports in social skills training

Analysıs of Emotıonal Intellıgence and Personalıty Traıts of Students In Faculty of Sports Scıences

This study it was aimed to examine the emotional intelligence and personality traits of the students who study in different departments of the Faculty of Sport Sciences at Ege University and actively do sports in different sports branches.  In total 549 students participated in the study voluntarily. To evaluate the variables of the study, the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale developed by Schutte et al. (1998) and adapted into Turkish by Tatar et al. (2011), and to evaluate personality traits, five-factor personality inventory developed by Somer, Tatar, and Korkmaz (2004) and whose short form was validated and reliable by Tatar (2005) were used. In this study, the data set was SPSS 22.0, and it was completed by using frequency tables, reliability analysis, independent sample t-test, one-way variance analysis, Tukey test, and correlation analysis in analyzes. There is both a significant (p0.05) difference between emotional intelligence and subscales of personality according to the department, type of education, average grade, class, gender, age and branches. There is no significant difference between emotional intelligence and personality (p> 0.05). They are independent of each other. As a result, as the concepts of emotional intelligence and personality affect individuals deeply, the main purpose of this study is to find the necessary information with the necessary studies to better understand the students in the sports science faculty. This study is to measure the emotional intelligence and personality traits of the students studying at the Faculty of Sport Sciences at Ege University and to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and personality. We think that it is an important study as it will make a serious contribution to the studies by repeating similar studies and applying them to large sample groups in different fields in different universities and different branches.Este estudio tuvo como objetivo examinar la inteligencia emocional y los rasgos de personalidad de los estudiantes que cursan sus estudios en diferentes departamentos de la Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte de la Universidad Ege y practican deporte activamente en diferentes ramas deportivas.
