Injury anxiety and forgiveness flexibility levels were compared in terms of gender, the status of being a national athlete, injury history, and frequency of training. Method: In line with the purpose of the research, it is descriptive research in which the relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, is used. With this method, it is used to grasp and explain the relationship between various variables without any attempt to change the current situation. In this framework, a research model was created that aims to determine the existence of covariance between two or more variables. The research population consists of field hockey players. The population of the study is elite field hockey players who participated in national or international field hockey tournaments. The research sample consists of 161 participants (66 Female, 41%; 95% Male, 59%) selected by convenience sampling method, which is one of the non-random sampling methods. The “Sports Injury Anxiety” scale was used to determine the injury anxiety levels of field hockey players who participated in the study voluntarily. The “Forgiveness Flexibility Scale” was used to determine the levels of forgiveness flexibility, and the “Personal Information Form” prepared by the researchers was used to collect information about demographic characteristics (gender, status of being a national athlete, injury history, training frequency). Conclusion: It was determined that there was a significant difference in injury anxiety and forgiveness flexibility scores of elite field hockey players according to gender and training frequency variables. On the other hand, while there was a significant difference in injury anxiety scores according to the status of being a national athlete and having an injury, no significant difference was found in the mean scores of forgiveness flexibility. As a result of the analysis performed to determine the relationship between injury anxiety and forgiveness flexibility, a positive and significant relationship was determined between the injury anxiety and forgiveness flexibility levels of the athletes. Finally, it was concluded that training frequency is an important predictor of injury anxiety, and as the training frequency increases, the athlete's injury anxiety level decreases. Keywords: Field hockey, injury anxiety, forgiveness flexibility

Paying attention to role cognition and the employment strategies of female rural laborers has great significance for the improvement of the status of women and the rational transfer of labor forces. However, there are few studies of role cognition amongst the rural female labor workforce. There is even less research on the relationship between role cognition and employment transfer strategies. In this study, a survey of 425 female rural laborers in the Sichuan Province, China, was conducted to construct a role-based cognitive scale in order to measure the cognitive levels of subjective ability, self-role expectations and role conflicts. This paper divides employment strategy into four aspects: Actual workplaces, workplace preferences, actual industries, and industry preferences. An unorganized multi-classification logistic regression model was constructed in order to explore the relationship between the role cognition and employment strategy selections. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between employment expectations and realities. Rural females with more equal modern role cognition had a higher expectation of employment. Meanwhile, those who had a strong feeling of role conflicts, tended to work in other places and choose secondary and tertiary industries. However, in reality, most were unemployed. The conflict of roles clearly restricts employment options of the rural female workforce. This study enhances our understanding of the relationship between the perceptions of the Chinese female labor workforce and the employment strategies used. The findings can help to provide a reference for guiding employment policies and the flow of the female labor workforce.

Survey method, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the research. Teachers (n=233) who teach Turkish in various institutions participated in the research. “Personal Information Form” prepared by researchers and “Assessment and Evaluation Attitude Scale for Teachers” developed by Tezci (2019) were used as data collection tools in the research. As a result of the research, it was determined that on average the Turkish teachers’ attitude scores towards assessment and evaluation is at a “high” level with 4.11. In addition, a significant difference was found between the Turkish teachers’ attitudes towards assessment and evaluation and the variables such as professional experience, receiving training for assessment and evaluation in language teaching, analising of prepared exams in terms of assessment and evaluation and evaluation and perceiving themselves as literate in assessment and evaluation. No significant difference was found between the attitudes of those who teach Turkish towards assessment in terms of the faculty they graduated from, the institutions where they were employed, regular exam preparation status, the hardest skill to assess, and the hardest skill to evaluate. Although attitudes of teachers towards assessment and evaluation are found at a “high” level in the research, taking into consideration the fact that there are many deficiencies in terms of assessment and evaluation in teaching Turkish as a foreign language and 46% of the teachers in this study consider themselves moderately literate in terms of assessment and evaluation, suggestions were made that it is necessary to work on what other factors affect teachers’ assessment and evaluation literacy
