The purpose of this study is to identify the determinant role of emotional intelligence sub-dimensions (evaluation of others' emotions, evaluation of one’s own emotions, regulation of emotions, social skills, use of emotions) in determining the self-efficacy levels of athletes. In addition, emotional intelligence, and self-efficacy levels of the athletes by gender variable were examined within the scope of this study and the results were reported. A total of 261 athletes from different sports (soccer, basketball, handball, volleyball, tennis, wrestling) volunteered to participate in the study with 163 males (57.8), (Xage = 22.36 ± 4.34) and 119 females (42.2), (Xage = 21.08 ± 3.61). Within the scope of the study, information on socio-demographic variables was collected using a personal information form created by the researchers. In the study, "Emotional Intelligence Sports Inventory" which was adapted into Turkish by Adiloğulları and Görgülü (2015), and the "Self-Efficacy Scale" which was adapted into Turkish by Öcel (2002) were used as measurement tools. The skewness and kurtosis values for the total score distribution of the surveys indicated that the distribution was normal. In line with this, descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) were used, and Pearson correlation analyses were completed to determine the relationships between the variables. A stepwise regression analysis was completed to determine the power of independent variables in predicting the dependent variable. According to the findings obtained, it was determined that the emotional intelligence levels of the athletes are important determinants of their self-efficacy levels and the analysis completed in two steps explained approximately 12% of the variance. However, while there was no significant difference in the self-efficacy mean scores by gender, significant differences were found in the emotional intelligence levels of the athletes within the groups.

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationships between the levels of mental skills and techniques of university students, who continue their sports life as licensed in different sports branches, and the emotional intelligence in sports. A total of 169 athletes, 91 male (53.8%) (Mage=25.36±6.06) and 78 female (46.2%) (Mage=23.03±4.98), who continue their professional sports life in different sports branches, voluntarily participated in the research. The research was designed in relational screening model. Personal Information Form, Mental Training Inventory in Sport, and Emotional Intelligence Inventory in Sport, which were created by the researchers, were used as data collection tools within the scope of the research. In the analysis of the data, firstly, the skewness and kurtosis values were checked for the normality assumptions and it was determined that the distribution was normal. In this direction, t-test was used to compare two independent groups, Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationships between the variables, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the power of the independent variables in predicting the dependent variable. When the findings obtained within the scope of the research were examined, it was determined that the emotional intelligence sub-dimensions significantly predicted the components of mental training skills and techniques. In this context, a result was obtained that as the level of emotional intelligence increases, the levels of mental training skills and techniques will also increase. However, when the analyzes for demographic variables were examined within the scope of the research, it was determined that there was a significant difference within the groups. As a result, it is recommended to include programs on emotional intelligence and mental training skills and techniques in the training of athletes in order to achieve the optimal range of sportive performance.

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the readiness and expectations of the students of sports science faculties regarding the e-Learning process as well as their self-efficacy perceptions. Methods: The research group consists of 146 men and 64 women studying at the faculties of sports sciences, a total of 210 university students. “Personal Information Form”, “Readiness and Expectation Scale for e-Learning Process” and “General Self-efficacy Scale (GSE)” were applied to the participants. In the analysis of the data, the appropriateness of the parametric tests was reviewed and the independent sample t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation and simple linear regression analysis were used. Results: In the study, it is seen that there is no significant difference in self-efficacy perceptions and its sub-dimensions according to gender and habit of playing sports actively, but there is a statistical difference between the groups when compared according to grade level. It is found that there is a significant difference in the readiness and expectations of e-Learning in favor of women in terms of only the dimension of factors that affect success according to gender. It is observed that according to habit of playing sports actively, the scores of those who play sports are high in total score averages and in all other dimensions except for the dimension of factors affecting success, and there is a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of access to technology and technical skills when compared according to the grade. It is seen that there is a positive linear relationship between self-efficacy perception and readiness and expectation for e-Learning, and that self-efficacy perception explains 6% of the variance in readiness and expectations for e-Learning. Conclusion: In the research, it is concluded that the self-efficacy perceptions and readiness for e-Learning of those who play sports actively are higher, and that self-efficacy perception is an important predictor of their readiness and expectations regarding e-Learning.

In the study where the relationship between study-leisure conflict and leisure management and the effect of leisure management on this conflict was investigated, it was also determined how certain variables changed the level of SLCS and LM. The study included 236 students studying in total 4 secondary and high schools in Ankara, and the data were obtained through personal information form as well as study-conflict and leisure management scales. Study and leisure conflict scale; “Study-Leisure Conflict Scale” is a measurement tool developed by Işık and Demirel (2018), inspired by the scale of “Measurement of Work-Leisure” (Tsaur et al., 2012), consisting of 20 questions and 5 sub-dimensions. “Leisure Management” scale is a measurement tool developed by Wang et al. (2011), consisting of 15 questions and 4 sub-dimensions and adapted to Turkish by Akgül and Karaküçük (2015). Parametric tests were applied since it was determined that the data showed normal distribution. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, independent sample T test, one-way analysis of variance ANOVA test and Tukey (HSD-LSD) test were used for intra-group comparisons, and Pearson Correlation test and Regression analysis were used to determine the relationship and effect. The findings of the research show that the participants displayed a level of conflict below average; on the other hand, they showed a level of leisure management slightly above the average. Partial weak relations were determined between the study-leisure conflict scale and the leisure-time management scale, while at the same time; it decreased the level of leisure-study conflict of leisure time, although it was not significant. It is among other findings that certain variables change the measurement tools. As a result of the research, it is thought that the partial weak relations between study-leisure conflict and leisure management will return to the expected negative momentum by the students having effective knowledge and skills about leisure management. Accordingly, it is revealed by the findings of the study that more information on leisure time, management and conflict resolution should be transferred in education programs.

The sample of the study was individuals who are actively cycling and trekking in the province of Mersin. 51 women and 105 men participated in the research as voluntary.(Xage=38.79±14,39). Data were derived from participants by applying “Self-Efficacy Scale” which is adapted by Köseoğlu,Gerçek, Yılmaz, Soran (2007) and “Life Satisfaction Scale” which is adapted by Yetim(1993). Descriptive statistics, independent groups T-test, one -way ANOVA analyses and Pearson correlation were used to analyze the data. The total average of self-efficacy and life satisfaction scores of cycling and trekking individuals are high and in order of 25,03±5,46 and 31,36±5,36. The findings of the research showed that there is a significant correlation between self-efficacy and life satisfaction scores (r= ,36; p<0,01). According to T-test results, there is no significant difference between mean scores of self-efficacy and life satisfaction in terms of age, gender and education levels in all groups.(p >,05).According to the results of research, life satisfaction and self-efficacy average scores of individuals who regularly cycling and trekking were found to be high. When the self-efficacy and life satisfaction average scores were examined, no significant difference was found in terms of gender, age and educational status in terms of these variables. While the self-efficacy scores of the participants increased, life satisfaction scores increased.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu araştırmada, bisiklet ve trekking sporu yapan bireylerin öz-yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu puanlarının cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim durumu değişkenleri açısından incelenmesi ve katılımcıların öz-yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu puanları arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma betimsel tarama modeli kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın örneklemini, Mersin ilinde aktif olarak bisiklet ve trekking sporu yapan 51 kadın, 105 erkek toplam 156 (Xyaş= 38,79 + 14,39) katılımcı oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Köseoğlu, Gerçek, Yılmaz, Soran (2007) tarafından Türkçe’ ye uyarlanan “Algılanan Öz-Yeterlik Beklentisi Ölçeği” ve Yetim (1993) tarafından Türkçe`ye uyarlanan “Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, bağımsız gruplar için “T testi”, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ve pearson korelasyon katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre bisiklet ve trekking sporu yapan bireylerin öz-yeterlik puan ortalamaları (31,36± 5,36) ve yaşam doyumu puan ortalamalarının (25,03± 5,46) yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmaya katılan bireylerin öz-yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu puanları arasında pozitif bir korelasyon saptanmıştır (r=,36; p<,01). Katılımcıların cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim durumu ve spor dalı değişkenine göre öz-yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu puanlarının farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığına bağımsız gruplar için t testi ile bakılmış ve tüm gruplarda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır (p>,05). Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, düzenli bisiklet süren ve trekking yapan bireylerin yaşam doyumu ve öz yeterlik ortalama puanlarının yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir. Öz yeterlik ve yaşam doyumu ortalama puanları incelendiğinde cinsiyet, yaş ve eğitim durumu yönünden bu değişkenler açısından anlamlı bir farka rastlanmamıştır. Katılımcıların öz yeterlik puanları artarken, yaşam doyumu puanlarının da arttığı gözlenmiştir.
