This research aimed to examine the meanings attributed to the concept of studying in line with the opinions of university students. As one of the qualitative research methods, phenomenology design was used. Convenience sampling technique was used to determine the study group. 353 senior university students, studying at Inonu University in the 2020-2021 academic year, were included in the study. Data were obtained with a form containing an explanation about the research and metaphor that was sent to the students electronically. The content analysis technique was used in the deciphering of the data obtained in the study. Results showed that the university students produced 191 different metaphors about the concept of lesson studying. When the metaphors created by university students were categorized thematically, 14 different categories were identified. In terms of frequency, metaphor concepts are grouped under categories such as being painful, enlightening the future, being a basic need, being dependent on labor, being instructive, addictive, obtaining a product, being a task, entertaining, being the key to success, being comforting, beneficial, being continuous and valuable. It was found that almost twenty-five percent of university students perceive studying as torment and torture.

This study aimed to investigate the aggression and empathetic tendency levels of the students studying at Mustafa Kemal University by considering the gender and sport education variables. “Personal Information Form” developed by the researchers, the “Aggression scale” developed by Kiper (1984) and the “Empathic Tendency Scale” developed by Dökmen (1988) were used as data collection tools. The aggression and empathic tendency levels of the participants were compared in terms of their genders and whether they were doing sports or not. The study group of the research consisted of 535 participants including 254 women and 281 men who were studying at the Mustafa Kemal University during the 2012-2014 academic year. The scale of the aggression and Empathic tendency scale for non-parametric tests, Mann Whitney U test for binary comparisons is the significance level used is 0.01 and 0.05 level has been tested. When considering the findings it was discovered that according to the gender the destructive aggression and passive aggression levels of the women regardless to their sport educations were significantly higher. Again in terms of gender variable woman who do not get education of sport empathic tendency levels are more higher than man who do not get education of sport. As a result: in terms of the participants of this study according to the sport status the gender variable was not a significant variable in changing the aggression and empathic tendency levels, as well as it could be stated that doing sports was effective to some sub-dimensions. ÖzetBu araştırmada, Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi öğrencilerinin cinsiyet ve spor eğitimi alma durumları dikkate alınarak, saldırganlık ve empatik eğilim düzeylerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, Kiper (1984) tarafından geliştirilen ‘‘Saldırganlık Ölçeği’’ ve Dökmen (1988) tarafından geliştirilen ‘‘Empatik Eğilim Ölçeği’’ kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların saldırganlık ve empatik eğilim düzeyleri, spor yapıp-yapmama ve cinsiyet değişkenleri açısından mukayese edilmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, 2013-2014 Eğitim-Öğretim yılında Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesinde öğrenim gören 254’ü  kadın, 281’i erkek olmak üzere toplamda 535 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Saldırganlık ölçeği ve Empatik eğilim ölçeklerine yönelik non-parametrik testlerden ikili karşılaştırmalar için Mann Whitney U Testi kullanılmış olup anlamlılık düzeyi 0.01 ve 0.05 düzeyinde sınanmıştır.  Bulgulara bakıldığında katılımcıların cinsiyet değişkenine göre spor eğitimi alan ve almayan kadınların, Yıkıcı saldırganlık ve Edilgen saldırganlık düzeylerinin anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Yine cinsiyet değişkeni açısından spor eğitimi almayan kadınların, spor eğitimi almayan erkeklere oranla empatik eğilim düzeylerinin anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir  Sonuç olarak; bu çalışmanın katılımcıları açısından spor yapma durumlarına göre, cinsiyet değişkeninin genel manada saldırganlık ve empatik eğilim düzeylerini değiştirmede belirleyici bir değişken olmadığı, bunun yanı sıra bazı alt boyutlarda spor yapmanın etken olduğu söylenebilir.
